Terminals

VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik has recently been using the Cognex MX-1502 readers for mobile logging of logistics data. VTL has focused on Android-based devices. Smartphones mounted in the shockproof housing of the MX-1502 are being used as mobile data terminals together with a image-based Cognex scanning unit. VTL is now using the Samsung Galaxy J3 smartphones in the MX-1502.

The mobile terminal is suitable for harsh industrial environments, and withstands 50 drops from a height of 2 metres onto concrete. Thus, both the Cognex scanning unit and the smartphone will remain intact, says Cognex.
