I'd like to anchor it in aisleways, door exits, etc.

Often in tight spots.

It would be nice to see a method of mounting that protects them from oil,
vandalism, and theft.

Not that we have a problem beyong oil and manhandling, but shiny new
objects might be a temptation.

Will look into the models. Funny thing is I haven't found a vendor for the
ToughPads.

Thanks.

Anchor it, as in anchor it to a forklift? Then consider the Motorola
VC5090 with a Bluetooth scanner. We've had a picker using it five days a
week for about 5 years.

When I saw the price (>$3,500), I was skeptical, but the thing is built
like a tank and it hasn't missed a day of service in about five years. Our
reseller got us a demo before we bought it. It's a great piece of
engineering.

Hello all,

This may seem a bit off-topic, however it's tied to purchasing Infor's MES
application.

Is anyone using touch tablets in the shop that they would recommend? And
how did you mount/protect them?

We currently run old Intermec terminals with DCA (DCSI/Highjump).
The guys are pretty rough on these terminals, so I'm hestitant to put some
IPads or Droids out there by themselves.

The plan is to deply these devices for transactions & dispatch instructions
- not dwg retrieval or other MES activities.

I'm looking at Panasonic's ToughPad A1 as an example, but then I still
need to anchor it.

Thanks for your time & input...james
