1.1 KYMAN™ DESCRIPTION
The Datalogic Kyman™ rugged mobile computer is one of the key elements of
Datalogic's mobile@work™ product family for logistic solutions.
Kyman™, thanks to the lightest weight of its category combined with one of the best
ergonomics ever seen on the market, reduces the operators fatigue with no
compromises in terms of reliability and robustness. Its sturdy outer casing with
overmold protection has been designed to resist harsh environments, multiple drops,
strong shocks, repetitive tumbles as well as sub-zero temperatures.
Available in both handheld and pistol-grip models, Kyman™ guarantees maximum
flexibility thanks to the add-on handle. In fact, it is possible to insert or remove the
handle by simply using a screwdriver, maintaining, at the same time, its industry
standard performance for sealing and drop capabilities.
Kyman™ key features include fully integrated automatic data capture (1D bar code,
1D bar code & RFID HF-ISO tags, 1D & 2D bar codes & images), allowing codes to
be read from near contact to several meters distance and simultaneous wireless
communication capabilities (Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE).
Kyman™ system architecture is based on the "de-facto standard" combination of the
fastest Intel X-Scale series processors coupled with the Windows CE 5.0 operating
system and it is ready to satisfy the most demanding customer needs (i.e. allowing to
expand its memory thanks to a Secure Digital standard slot).
Kyman™ provides 2 intuitive keyboard layouts, numeric/alphanumeric with backlight,
able to fulfill 100% traditional text based applications (i.e. terminal emulation, through
the DL-TCL-NET™ software client) as well as the most modern Web-based solutions
(i.e. exploiting the Microsoft Internet Explorer through the DL Locked Web Browser™
application).
Kyman™ provides mobile professionals with the most relevant features needed to
operate in demanding environments: reliability, ruggedness, drop resistance, long
lasting batteries, flexible communication and efficient data capture.
