Thin and lightweight model with Android™ 9 and built-in 1D/2D scanner.

Casio Europe GmbH has announced the release of the ET-L10 mobile computer with Android™ 9. The ET-L10 features a large 5.7-inch display that enables users to view information needed for work on a single screen.

As a result of advances in operating systems and faster data communication speeds, more companies are using smartphones as accessible, low-cost work devices, including companies in the retail industry. However, in practice, existing solutions have fallen short of meeting needs because they require a separate scanner, and there are concerns about their robustness.

The new ET-L10 is a rugged smart device that combines both the operability and slimness of a smartphone with the practicality of a work device. The ET-L10 is equipped with a built-in 1D/2D scanner and a large 5.7-inch display that is easy to operate and facilitates the viewing of needed information. These enhancements make it easier, for example, to check the remaining inventory in retail operations or show product information to customers. Handheld terminals are also being used in various other industries such as sales force and retail, as mobile information devices.

The ET-L10 runs Android™ 9, enabling applications to be customized according to work needs. The device is highly portable, with a thin and lightweight body (roughly 15.5 mm thick and weighing about 240 grams), while being tough enough for work situations by withstanding a drop from 1.5 meters and featuring IP65 dustproof and waterproof(*) construction.

CASIO is offering its first commercial-use smartwatch wearables for professionals in retail, logistics, and industry.

For years, the Mobile Industrial Solutions department at CASIO Europe GmbH has been supplying innovative hardware such as handheld terminals, mobile computers, and terminals with integrated printers that make every-day work in numerous industries more efficient.

With CASIO‘s first B2B smartwatch, the WSD-F20A-BPA, CASIO has now entered the market for wearables for commercial use. At EuroCIS 2019 in Düsseldorf, Germany, CASIO will present a B2B smartwatch with hardware designed for the needs of retail, logistics, and industry. It meets these needs through a series of versatile features and applications. The smartwatch is waterproof to five bar (50 m) and complies with the American military standard MIL-STD-810, which means it is robust enough to work reliably even under adverse conditions. This makes it the ideal hardware for developing B2B system solutions.

A further USP of the CASIO B2B smartwatch compared to many consumer smartwatches is that through the integrated WLAN module it does not require a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone to connect to a network. As such, users do not have to be equipped with a smartphone to enable efficient commercial use.

To ensure that the smartwatch can last through a complete shift despite a permanent WLAN connection, it has been equipped with a powerful and long-lasting battery and is also energy-saving at the design-level. It has a dual display that automatically switches between an economical black-and-white LCD for simple displays, such as the time, and a colour TFT for displaying apps as required.

The B2B smartwatch also comes with the advantage of the operating system “Wear OS” by Google, which offers high compatibility, connectivity, and virtually no limitations for system developers. Comprehensive functions and accessories make it easier for administrators to commission, charge, and manage numerous smartwatches at once, completing the professional B2B package for the WSD-F20A-BPA.

Part of what makes CASIO a reliable partner as a supplier of B2B smartwatch system solutions is its familiarity with the project business. With experienced consultants and a well-developed partner network, CASIO Mobile Industrial Solutions excels at offering not only the right hardware, but also the appropriate, customer-specific support for professional B2B projects.

Como alternativa a los smartphones convencionales en versión más resistente, CASIO presenta el IT-G400 un terminal móvil de uso industrial con pantalla multitáctil para aplicaciones Android.

Entre las características profesionales de este robusto dispositivo se encuentran el sistema operativo Android 6.0.1 con GMS, un sensor Imager de alta velocidad y una potente batería de 5800 mAh.

CASIO presenta el IT-G400 un terminal móvil de uso industrial con pantalla multitáctil. El dispositivo Full-Touch IT-G400 de Casio completa la gama de terminales industriales del fabricante japonés con su primer modelo sin teclado. De este modo, Casio responde a la tendencia actual de algunos fabricantes de smartphones convencionales que desarrollan una versión más resistente o Robusta de sus dispositivos con apenas un par de cambios evidentes.

Pero una carcasa en ángulo no es suficiente para los usuarios industriales. Un dispositivo Robusto, es decir, un terminal para el uso industrial, debe cumplir muchos más requisitos. “Para el uso profesional, no suele ser suficiente con una ‘versión para exteriores’ de un smartphone. Además de la máxima resistencia frente a agentes externos, hay muchos más factores relevantes, como el manejo, la duración de la batería, la ergonomía, la calidad de la pantalla y, sobre todo, la larga disponibilidad“, explica Thomas Uppenkamp, director del área Mobile Industrial Solutions de Casio Europe en Norderstedt.

Potente como un smartphone de gama alta y robusto como los contrastados terminales de producción japonesa: El terminal móvil IT-G400, como dispositivo Full-Touch con el más moderno sistema operativo Android, abre la posibilidad de nuevos campos de aplicación en los sectores de la industria, el comercio, la logística y los servicios. Para ello, el dispositivo dispone de componentes que ya han demostrado su valía en otros terminales industriales, como por ejemplo, el sensor Imager profesional integrado en una carcasa antideslizante de plástico resistente. La alimentación la proporciona una batería fácilmente intercambiable de 5800 mAh de capacidad, con celdas de iones de litio de gran calidad de producción japonesa.

La pantalla multitáctil de 5 pulgadas es prácticamente irrompible y extremadamente resistente a arañazos. Gracias a su grado de protección IP65, el terminal está bien protegido frente al polvo y agua, y es especialmente adecuado para el uso en exteriores, incluso con malas condiciones meteorológicas. Trabaja sin problemas a temperaturas de entre -20 °C y +55 °C. Ya sea bajo la lluvia, los rayos del sol o un frío extremo, el IT-G400 tiene las características perfectas para demostrar su utilidad en las condiciones más difíciles y durante un largo periodo de tiempo.

El sensor Imager CMOS integrado de nueva generación es extremadamente rápido y muy potente. Permite leer códigos de barras mediante un rayo láser claramente perceptible. El sensor Imager lee rápidamente incluso códigos deteriorados y confirma el resultado de lectura mediante una señal óptica o acústica, así como mediante la vibración del dispositivo, lo que resulta especialmente práctico en entornos muy ruidosos. La constancia en la calidad de lectura está garantizada con un eficaz filtro de destellos de alta frecuencia de la iluminación LED moderna. Dos botones laterales de activación del proceso de lectura minimizan el movimiento de los dedos tanto para diestros como para zurdos. El IT-G400 tiene también funcionalidad NFC/RFID y dos cámaras digitales integradas para registrar datos cómodamente.

El terminal Full-Touch IT-G400 de CASIO está equipado con el potente procesador Quad Core ARM® Cortex® A53 (1,2 GHz) y una generosa memoria (2 GB de RAM, 16 GB de FROM), con lo cual su capacidad es enorme. El terminal dispone de Bluetooth® (4.1), WLAN (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n) y WWAN 4G/LTE. La combinación del hardware avanzado y el sistema operativo más reciente Android 6.0.1 asegura que la inversión valdrá la pena para muchos años de uso en las más diversas aplicaciones.
