REALTIME RADIO FREQUENCY DATA COLLECTION SOFTWARE

Introduction to RealTime Handheld Radio Frequency Terminal System

RealTime Factory Management System interfaces with RealTime Handheld RF Terminal System and offers the ultimate in portability and adaptability to the different Radio Frequency hardware platforms of manufacturers such as Teklogix, Intermec and Symbol. The handheld RF terminals can be equipped with scanning capability to give the operator the most flexible and simple to use handheld system available. The handheld RF terminal program allows the operator to perform inventory transfers, material issues, inventory queries, quality control changes, and staging (or unstaging) shipments. The program combines simple to use menus with the accuracy and simplicity of barcode scanning to allow the user to perform many transactions without having to walk back and forth from a PC running inventory control. The handheld RF terminal is the proper tool for the active inventory and distribution operator. All transactions made on the handheld terminal are real-time and on-line. The transactions performed on the handheld terminals are time, date and operator-stamped as each transaction is permanently recorded in RealTime audit trail. All users that have access to RealTime will have up-to-the-second accurate data.
