Computer Description

Portable Computers

Hand-Held Computers are used by mobile workers to quickly and accurate-
ly capture information, print reports, dispatch competitive analysis, and to
support field maintenance and sales automation.
Technical advancements help make today's hand-held computers suitable
for many other uses.
These units are battery operated, making them extremely portable and well-
suited to route industries such as beverage, bakery, snack, and dairy dis-
tribution operations. Other uses are found in service industries, factory
quality assurance programs, and transportation.
Typically, programs or data are loaded ("downloaded") into the Hand-Held
computer from a PC or mainframe. Depending upon the options built into
the computer, entries are made via screen contact, a keyboard or a scanner.
The hand-held computer typically contains (or can access) a database with
customer and product information. It does calculations based on product
movement, sends information to a printer, and often sends data to a host
computer at the end of the work day.
