Intermec Technologies Corp. has introduced the company's most rugged mobile computer, the CK60, designed specifically for the physically demanding requirements of the direct store delivery market.

According to Venture Development Corp., Everett, Wash., mobile device failure frequently happens when organizations use devices unsuitable for the situation. Failures in direct store delivery/route accounting applications, where replacement units are not readily available, can cost as much as $125 per hour in lost revenue.
The Intermec CK60 is constructed with a magnesium top cover, rubber bumpers on each corner and a case sealed against water and dust to IP64 standards. It is designed for fast input and retrieval of information with a QVGA touch screen display, enabling it to run both text-based applications and graphical interfaces, and a big keypad that allows one- and two-handed input of large amounts of data.
To avoid loss of data, the Windows CE 5.0-based device has onboard, non-volatile memory called Persistent Storage which preserves applications and databases even if the battery becomes depleted. The mobile computer also has an SDIO card slot to enable the use of removable storage cards for large databases. The CK60 uses Intermec's SmartSystem for automatic installation, routine maintenance and application software updates, security adjustments and device settings. Various connectivity methods are integrated into the computer including high-speed Ethernet, USB and RS232 serial connections as well as Bluetooth wireless personal area communications.
