Introduction
Solidifying Honeywell’s position as the leader in vehicle-mount computing, the Thor VM2 builds on the best-in-class Thor VM1 that was created specifically to address the unique challenges of supply chain applications.
Now available with Windows 7 Pro and WES 7
The Thor VM2 brings the same features that made the Thor VM1 the runaway favorite for forklift computing to customers preferring a larger screen or an external keyboard. Continue with the VM2 product tour to learn how the Field-Replaceable Front Panel, the Quick Mount Smart Dock, and Ignition Control can reduce downtime, capital cost, and operating expense.
Industrial vehicles and their operators are valuable assets that must have maximum productivity and uptime. Superior design and dedication to the market have enabled Honeywell Scanning & Mobility (HSM) to become the largest industrial vehicle mount computer supplier by far. The heritage, that began when LXE Inc. first put vehicle mount computers on forklifts in 1983, has culminated in the Thor VM1 and VM2.
The most common failures for vehicle-mount computers involve the touch screen and keyboard. The Thor VM2's field-replaceable front panel features a foolproof design that enables any manager to quickly return these valuable assets to service.
make repairs in the field while maintaining the IP66 sealing
reduce downtime associated with taking computers out of the field for repair
minimize spares cost by replacing a portion of the spare computers with less expensive spare front panels
Feature
Smart Dock: Enables mounting and removal in seconds like a laptop dock but with the ruggedness and sealing required for industrial applications; maximizes efficiency by dynamically shifting workers and computers as the workload changes, while minimizing maintenance cost by enabling a computer to be shifted from one vehicle to another in 1/6 the standard time
Field-Replaceable Front Panel: Reduces capital and maintenance cost by integrating the two most wear and abuse prone components, the keyboard and touchscreen, into a user-replaceable part; reduces capital costs by substituting spare front panels for spare computers
Ignition Control: Eliminates the maintenance expense and lost productivity caused by a dead vehicle battery; unit can be configured to automatically go into standby or hibernate at a selectable time after the ignition switch is turned off, saving time for associates while eliminating a point of concern for warehouse management
The Atom 1.6 GHz, Z530 based processing platform which provides the correct balance of processing power and cost for both traditional terminal emulator and GUI based systems
The 9.7 inch XGA high contrast display delivers high resolution visibility
Five programmable keys that can function as any standard key, a sequence of key strokes or as access to open an application. Five additional options available by pressing shift key.
A CANBus (or Controller Area Network) Interface which functions like "Ethernet for a vehicle" and enables users to retrieve a variety of vehicle telemetry
Wireless connectivity via WiFi™, Bluetooth® or an optional WWAN 3.75G and GPS radio which provides a cost effective alternative to outdoor WiFi networks
