CipherLab's mobile computers and scanners are integrated into the networks of some of the world's best known logistics, retail, distribution, government installations and healthcare companies, helping them run more efficiently and effectively onsite and on the road.
Also commonly referred to in the industry as Portable Data Terminals (PDTs). PDTs give you the ability to scan products anywhere, anytime, where as handheld scanners are usually tethered (cabled) to a host/computer, Advantages of PDTs are that they can collect numerous amounts of information such as the quantity, location, Bin Number, Parts number, Serial Number, Time & Date Stamp...etc etc. If you were using a handheld scanner, all you could collect was the product barcode number.
Cipherlab's range of PDTs extend from the 8000 Series to the 9400 Series. All the Cipherlab Terminals come with Bluetooth & WiFi capabilities and some with GPRS capabilities but unless it is mission critical that information needs to be live, then a memory PDT, or what we refer to in the indiustry as a Batch Terminal, is the most economical and by far, the most simplest to integrate to your system. More information regarding the software and integration of Portable Data Terminals, whether it be Batch, Wi-Fi or GPRS are below.

The terminals can be programmed by either the free software utility called the Application Generator (AG software), or they can be programmed in Basic & C for the 8000, 8300 & 8500 Series. In most cases, the easiest and most economical is using the AG software.
