Synergix expands Honeywell range

Synergix, the auto-ID and barcode division of Midwich Ltd has announced that it can supply Honeywell's latest release, the Dolphin 7800. A comprehensive enterprise digital assistant (EDA), which empowers field service, parcel delivery, direct store delivery and other mobile workers with simplified access to a diverse range of data collection and computing capabilities, the Dolphin 7800 sets a new standard for the EDA market by packing the features and functions of a traditional data collection device, including the ability to withstand daily use in demanding mobile applications, in a rugged yet easy-to-carry form factor.
 
Designed to reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency, the Dolphin 7800 is expected to lower the failure rate of customers using competitors' EDA products by as much as 80 per cent.
 
John Waldron, vice president of worldwide marketing, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility commented: 'Building on the overwhelming success of the Dolphin 99EX mobile computer, the Dolphin 7800 delivers many of the same technology advances and durability in a smaller form factor, which is just what our customers have been asking for. We invite those who've traditionally considered the MC65 to try the 7800. We are confident that this addition to our ever-expanding line of Dolphin mobile computers sets us apart, making us the partner of choice for resellers and end-users.'
 
With the Dolphin 7800, Honeywell has enhanced its most successful functionalities and features to further improve end-user flexibility and performance including the ability to withstand accidental drops to concrete from as high as 1.5m, built-in Wi-Fi, a powerful processor and network connections that enable multi-tasking thereby driving increased productivity, and industry-defining scanning and image capture performance with Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0.

A healthcare version is available featuring Honeywell's disinfectant-ready housings to better resist the harmful effects of harsh cleaning agents commonly used in healthcare facilities (Dolphin 7800hc).
 
The Dolphin 7800 is also available with Honeywell's Service Made Simple service plans, for a lower total cost of ownership. For additional cost savings, the Dolphin 7800 offers an extended lifecycle and post production support. Built on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 operating system, the Dolphin 7800 brings application flexibility to the reseller and independent software vendor (ISV) markets.
