Honeywell Vehicle-Mount Computers

Description

The Thor™ VM1A is a rugged, Android™-based mobile computer designed specifically for demanding forklift and vehicle-mounted environments. Built on the Honeywell Mobility Edge™ platform, the Thor VM1A offers all the benefits of the popular Thor VM1 and CV41 models, with enhanced features that accelerate deployment, improve performance, and ensure long-term investment protection.

Key Features:

Honeywell Mobility Edge™ Platform:

• The Mobility Edge™ platform is designed for faster provisioning, performance optimization, and extended lifecycle management. It ensures that all Honeywell Mobility Edge devices, including the Thor VM1A, have a common hardware and software platform, simplifying IT management and reducing support costs.
• Security updates are provided for an additional five years compared to typical Android devices, maximizing the useful life of the device and improving data security across the enterprise.
• Upgradable from Android O to Android R, ensuring long-term software compatibility and support.

Durability and Maintenance:

• Built for harsh forklift and vehicle environments, the Thor VM1A is rugged enough to withstand the toughest conditions found in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, ports, and intermodal environments.
• The field-replaceable front panel minimizes downtime and maintenance costs. Instead of sending devices to a repair depot, non-technical staff can replace components like the touchscreen or keyboard themselves, returning the device to service quickly.

Smart Dock:

• The Smart Dock feature allows for rapid mounting and removal of the device without needing to handle cables, making it easier to shift the computer between vehicles as workloads change.

Ergonomics and Display:

• The Thor VM1A is equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen that is readable both indoors and outdoors, ensuring the driver can access critical data easily from the forklift seat.
• Ergonomically designed to minimize visual obstructions and ensure maximum productivity for workers on the go.
• An optional screen defroster is available for cold storage and freezer environments to ensure optimal readability in low-temperature settings.

Advanced Performance:

• Powered by the Qualcomm® 660 processor, the Thor VM1A delivers robust performance even in the most demanding environments, enabling smooth and fast data processing.
• Features 2×2 MIMO WLAN connectivity for stable and reliable wireless communication, ensuring that the forklift operator stays connected to critical systems in real-time.

Efficient Power Management:

• The ignition control feature provides adjustable power management settings, reducing startup time and extending vehicle battery life. This leads to more efficient operations and less downtime for vehicle-mounted computers.

Cost Efficiency:

• By using field-replaceable front panels instead of full computer replacements, businesses can significantly reduce costs associated with spare parts and maintenance, while also extending the life of their devices.

Applications:

The Thor VM1A is ideal for use in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and any environment where forklift operators require a rugged, reliable, and easy-to-use mobile computer to keep up with inventory management, order picking, and data collection. Its rugged design, long-term security updates, easy maintenance, and efficient power management make it a valuable tool for improving productivity and reducing total cost of ownership in demanding work environments.

With the Thor VM1A, Honeywell delivers a device that not only enhances operational efficiency but also provides enterprises with long-term reliability and cost savings.
