CK70 Ultra-rugged Mobile Computer

Overview

We Didn't Compromise; Neither Should You

Intermec is the first to offer a no-compromise solution with the CK70 ultra-rugged mobile computer. The CK70 meets your challenges head on with next generation features that focus on increasing efficiency and delivering unparalleled reliability for track-and-trace and proof-of-delivery applications, even in the most extreme conditions.

The design of the CK70 is specifically optimized for the courier express, parcel (CEP) and postal environments. In addition to being 12% smaller and lighter than other form factors in its ultra-rugged class, the CK70 supports workers in this fast moving, mobile environment with an application specific keyboard layout that is both slender and back-lit to allow for effortless, all day single-handed use.

Intermec has developed the industry's fastest imaging engine, capable of scanning bar codes moving at up to 12.7m (500 in) per second, enabling the CK70 to provide remarkable motion tolerance and high read rates even in a highly dynamic work environment. The CK70 aiming system, featuring bright white LED illumination and a red laser aimer optimized for all lighting conditions, projects downward at a 35° angle allowing easier scanning of bar codes on parcels and enabling your mobile workers to view the mobile computer screen while scanning.

Reliability You Can Count On

Scratched, damaged displays and missing or unreadable keys not only slow your workers down, they reflect poorly on your company's image. The CK70 includes a brilliant VGA display with a wear-resistant Gorilla™ Glass touch panel providing twice the service life of older touch panel technologies. Industrial grade polycarbonate keys with indestructible laser-etched legends ensure that the CK70 stays in your workers' hands instead of the repair depot.

By combining a multi-processor architecture that delivers up to three times the performance at half the power consumption of legacy processors along with state-of-the-art battery health diagnostics, the CK70 can be relied upon to deliver the power and performance you require, for even your longest routes, as well as reduce the expense of replacement batteries.

The CK70 not only offers you the highest throughput available with a 3.75G WWAN radio, but also a choice of either UMTS/ HSPA or CDMA/EVDO Rev A. And with the industry's first dual-band 802.11n WLAN radio, mobile workers returning to sorting and distribution facilities will enjoy rock-solid performance and high throughput, even in areas where they might experience low signal levels or intermittent connections with traditional 802.11a/b/g products.

The Power to Work Smarter

Intermec have surrounded the CK70 with a complete set of intelligent business solution software, tools, services and training modules, to create the smoothest and smartest possible integration into your workflows.

Every 70 Series mobile computer comes pre-loaded with Intermec's ScanNGo client to provide a premium device provisioning experience to simplify and expedite device staging operations. The standalone ScanNGo client enables CK70 users to provision, configure and automatically download application software even over WWAN in a matter of seconds rather than minutes by simply reading pre-configured bar codes.

If you've developed applications using Intermec developer resource kits for previous Intermec products, you'll be able to easily migrate them to the CK70.

Prevent a Problem Before it Exists

The CK70 mobile computer's unique device health reporting capability provides insight never before available to allow mobile workers and IT administrators to monitor and prevent issues before they impact operations. Key sub-systems including scanning, communications and battery life can be monitored by either the mobile worker via an on-board dashboard or remotely through the Intermec SmartSystems™ console resulting in optimization and better utilization of your mobile computing assets.

 Based on a Shared Platform

The CK70 is just one model out of four ergonomic designs that are available in the 70 Series family. Each model includes choices of radios, keypads, imagers, software and services providing you the option of tailoring a specific solution to meet the various application areas within your environment and the preferences and needs of your employees.

With a single platform approach, the 70 Series family is unique in its ability to reduce infrastructure complexity and cost. The single computer architecture, software build, set of peripherals and charging system that is shared between the 70 Series products brings simplicity to the frequent tasks of software updates, training new employees, managing spares pools and charging devices.

Break the Cycle of Infrastructure Replacement

All of the 70 Series products are supported by a new docking system designed to maximize the return on your investment in charging and communications infrastructure and greatly reduce the space you must devote to it. Called FlexDock, the system uses a common 2- or 4-position base, combined with cups for mobile computers and battery packs in any combination, to adapt the base your specific needs.
