DENSO hand held
Thanks to a modular system, the new DENSO hand-held terminal BHT-700 adapts to changing business processes.
Designed for commerce and logistics, DENSO’s modular BHT-700 is a hand-held terminal which grows as the demands placed on it grow. Based on current standards, it supports technologies just coming onto the market. “Along with standard functionalities such as batch, WLAN, GPRS or Bluetooth, the open hardware platform lets you migrate to new technologies without having to change the main device,“ explains Luc Stals, Head of Sales EMEA at Toyota Tsusho ID Systems, also responsible for the launch of the new BHT-700.
A Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) comes as standard on the modular BHT-700 which allows users to establish a stream of serial data within a set limit. This UART is made to both send and receive data. The BHT-700 also includes a USB host interface and a Micro SD interface to hold a Micro SD memory card. Some of the hand-held terminal’s other highlights: a high-performance CPU (PXA270 624MHz), a high-contrast display with fast-loading graphics, speech recognition, user-friendly design, a sturdy housing which can withstand drops of up to 1.2m and an extensive array of accessories. Particularly noteworthy are the side keys; free to configure these keys themselves, users enjoy added ergonomics and user-friendliness
The modular system on the BHT-700 also allows users to integrate emerging technologies they will need. Thanks to the open hardware platform, users can easily integrate today’s and tomorrow’s technologies such as UMTS, FID, WiMax and GPS.
Of course UMTS may only have a short future ahead of it – mobile network operators are already working on next generation mobile networks (NGMN), also known simply as ‘4G’. So with this new modular system, DENSO is ready for whatever else the operators have up their sleeves.LXE International
Warehouse Realities
Bar code scanning has made data collection fast and accurate but sometimes operators aren't provided the right tools for the job -- and that can reduce productivity gains that might otherwise be realized. Many warehouse tasks require an operator to physically handle products.

Worldwide Tablet Growth Expected to Slow to 7.2% Along With First Year of iPad Decline
The worldwide tablet market is expected to see a massive deceleration in 2014 with year-over-year growth slowing to 7.2%, down from 52.5% in 2013, according to a new forecast from IDC. At the core of this slowdown is the expectation that 2014 will represent the first full year of decline in Apple iPad shipments. Both the iPad and the overall market slowdown do not come as a surprise as device lifecycles for tablets have continued to lengthen, increasingly resembling those of PCs more than smartphones.
The tablet market continues to be impacted by a few major trends happening in relevant markets. the early stages of the tablet market, device lifecycles were expected to resemble those of smartphones, with replacement occurring every 2-3 years. What has played out instead is that many tablet owners are holding onto their devices for more than 3 years and in some instances more than 4 years. We believe the two major drivers for longer than expected tablet lifecycles are legacy software support for older products, especially within iOS, and the increased use of smartphones for a variety of computing tasks.Add to this the larger smartphones, known as phablets.

Thanks to a Datalogic Automation and Sita solution, the airport of Fiumicino – Rome – has greatly decreased the problem of the baggage lost and of the consequential costs.
The airport “Leonardo da Vinci” of Fiumicino – Rome, the largest italian port with four terminals and more than 33 Million passengers/year, in a phase of expansion and modernization and wanting to increase the level of passengers service, has developed a project on the traceability of baggage from the aircraft’s hold of to the owners.
Baggage handling is one of the major problem, both for the inconvenience caused to passengers, and for the economic and image impact on airlines and airports.
Globally, in 2009 about 25 Million baggage were diverted to wrong destinations and have been lost 0.4 baggage per 1.000 passengers, with a loss for the airline Industry of 2.5 Billion dollars.
The 2009 data shows an improvement on previous years’ statistics, demonstrating that a performing BHS (Baggage Handling System) and a efficient service management can drastically reduce economic losses and improve the passenger service.
Rome Airports (ADR) has decided to solve the problem in collaboration with SITA as prime contractor and provider of software infrastructures and Datalogic Automation as a supplier of automatic bar code readers with fixed location.
The project involves the installation of a reading station for each entry and exit points of the baggage into the BHS System of all terminals, the collection of the useful datas in order to monitor the handling time from the aircraft hold to the owner.
The management of collected datas, together with flights and airport stopover is a delicate and difficult operation: for this reason, Rome Airports (ADR) was entrusted to Sita, a cooperative with around 550 members among airlines, airport companies and services. Present in 220 countries, Sita has got a wide range of applications, more than baggage handling, includes communication services, operations for the airline passengers and for airports, cargo activities, flight operations and air-ground communications.
Thanks to a historic relationship with ADR, as well as following a similar experience at the airport of Barcelona (Spain), Sita confirmed Datalogic Automation as a supplier of automatic reading system.
Datalogic Automation has supplied thirty reading omnidirectional tunnels on 270° of the Iata Barcone, for a total of nearly 200 laser scanner 8000 and thirty SC6000 controllers.
The storage location
A landing of a plane correspond to a retrieval procedure from the aircraft hold (ULD) and individual baggage, as well as the transport to the loading bays of the BHS System. Handlers provide with loading luggage in the single conveyor system. For each load position corresponds to a reading station that records the passage of each package.
The baggage following a default location in the BHS system will then be routed to the right refund tape to passengers or to the transit management system and before exiting will be reread by a tunnel. The comparison between the input and output data will monitor the discharge time from a aircraft and cargo and baggage sorting system performance.
The reading tunnel have been fitted to existing conveyors that did not provide an identification system: the stations were then customized in regard to the standard versions, in order to meet the constraints of space, then were used together with DS8100A and DX8200A, 90° reflection mirror and contact reading ones.
Datalogic Automation consolidates its position in the Italian Airport market in which it’s present as supplier of the major airports, from Milan to Bergamo and Turin, Venice, Pisa and Palermo.”
