Mobile Computers
Mobile computers and handheld data collectors for warehouse, logistics, manufacturing and enterprise data capture applications. These rugged handheld terminals combine barcode scanning, data entry and wireless communication in a single mobile device.
Choosing the right mobile computer depends on the working environment, barcode types and scanning range, display and keypad configuration, battery life, and Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. Handheld computers and mobile terminals are widely used for receiving, picking, inventory, stock control and production tracking, while vehicle-mounted, wearable and healthcare devices are available for specialized workflows. VT ID has supported warehouse, logistics and manufacturing identification and data capture processes for more than three decades. Our experience extends beyond the devices themselves to their integration with enterprise applications, network environments and ERP/WMS systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
A barcode scanner is a connected device that passes the code to a computer. A data collector (mobile computer) is a standalone device with its own display, operating system and applications: besides scanning, it displays data, runs the warehouse application and communicates with the enterprise system on its own. If the worker needs to see or enter data on the spot, a data collector is required.
An enterprise device's professional scan engine reads orders of magnitude faster and more reliably than a phone camera, especially with damaged codes and intensive use. It also offers rugged build, swappable batteries, multi-year manufacturer support and enterprise device management – with thousands of scans per shift, these differences are direct productivity and cost factors.
The vast majority of the market now runs enterprise Android, with long-term security updates and device management support. Windows-based solutions are typically needed with industrial tablets, where existing Windows applications must run. We also help replace legacy Windows CE/Mobile devices.
The application running on the device communicates with the ERP or WMS over Wi-Fi or mobile networks – most modern systems have a ready mobile client or web interface that runs on the device. During rollout we provide support with integration and device configuration.
