October 29, 2012 - Intermec announced the CK3 Next Generation Series of rugged mobile computers. For use in distribution center and manufacturing operations, the CK3X and CK3R utilize a 1GHZ OMAP architecture, barcode scanning, device health monitoring and compliance for emerging industry standards such as HTML5.
The CK3X is optimized for warehouse operations, while the CK3R is optimized for light industrial applications.
Featuring choice of integrated area imagers for standard range or near/far range scanning, the CK3X provides scanning on 1D and 2D bar codes including the ability to read poor quality or damaged codes. The scan engines also offer support for omni-directional scanning and high motion tolerance for improved efficiency. To truly future proof investments, the CK3X features a highly adaptable design supported by the latest RF standards - 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth radio, as well as an optional RFID reader accessory.
The CK3X is a truly rugged mobile computer and is designed to withstand multiple five-foot (1.5 meter) drops to concrete across all operating temperatures. It also delivers good battery life performance, lasting through a full shift and beyond without requiring workers to replace or recharge batteries. The sleek form factor also comes free of the heavy bulk contained by traditional rugged devices in the same class.
The CK3R's slightly smaller size offers an even lighter, more ergonomic form factor and contains the EA31 imaging engine for quick and accurate scanning operations and support for omni-directional scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes. Additionally, the CK3R is designed to stand up to the rigors of everyday use with a rugged, laser-etched keypad, a four-foot (1.2 meter) drop rating to concrete across all operating temperatures and an IP54 seal rating against rain, moisture and dust.
Both the CK3X and CK3R make transitioning from other mobile computers easy with device configuration tools like CloneNGo - Intermec's device provisioning - which makes it easy to "clone" device settings from a single master unit to an unlimited number of devices.
Additionally, with the latest Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld operating system, the CK3X and CK3R are compatible with a wide range of software applications - from warehouse management systems to other mission-critical tools developed by the Intermec PartnerNet Independent Service Provider (ISV) community.
