),
TEKZEN
had been using
DT-900
series handheld terminal. So they are somehow familiar and confident in Casio products especially in reliability and performance. After checking features and price of competitor’s handheld terminals,
TEKZEN
has realized that the
DX-7
was the best product considering price, ruggedness and ergonomic design. On top of these superiorities over competitors, the
DT-X7
integrates Windows CE version 5.0 platform as its OS which makes application development and deployment in the system so easy, not to mention the reliability of the operating system.
With the previous system for stock control, product information cannot be installed into the terminal. It makes the operator not be able to check the label if it is right or wrong. This is a grave concern for the store group and time waste in their inventory control operation.
However, after the adoption of the
DT-X7
, errors occurred due to bar code labels are dramatically diminished. Moreover, the operator can easily check product information in real time including its related information such as shelf number and location address, update price, stock quantity, and etc.
Typical system configuration
The typical system configuration with the
DT-X7
in each store composes with the below products. Since the installation in the beginning of the project, a total number of each product installed exceeded over 90 and is expected to shortly reach a three-digit figure, according to the system manager of
TEKZEN
.
