Trend-setting success

The success of our industrial PDA i.roc x20 is an excellent example of how the
use of mobile solutions can help optimise profitability and efficiency of your com­pany. Whatever the size and type of business, there exists oppor tunities to further
optimise production flow and data transfer. Customised and wisely applied mobile
information technology can detect and utilise these oppor tunities, thereby helping
to make the company more profitable. For process controlling this means continual
identification and diagnosing of faults in order to make the correct decision for pro­duction flow. At management level, intelligent information systems can prevent the
occurrences of standstill and waste, improve production performance and therefore
help guide the company to higher efficiencies.

Application of state-of-the-art technology

The XScale processor, the operator interface featuring different Windows mobile
operating systems, the impact resistant TFT display with touchscreen function and
the extensive range of equipment and accessories all got to make the i.roc the
perfect tool. The i.roc product concept is truly impressive, with its innovative power
and flexibility allowing the early adoption and application of new ways of working in
hazardous areas. The long term product strategy with HP fur ther guarantees invest­ment security for our clients.

Versatility by flexibility

ecom instruments already provide customised and
flexible solutions for mobile applications in a variety of
industries in co-operation with partners such as HP,
Deister electronics, microsensys and Barcodat.

while process visualising

Concept

Many PDAs provide
the possibility to
integrate barcode
scanners or RFID
reading devices via
CF card slot.
The i.roc x20
features the consider­ably more flexible way
of integrating modules
by interface into an
individually designed
casing. The dustproof
and water-proof casing,
consisting of three
parts, facilitates
customised
hardware.

Possible applications

• Visualising of processes • Logistics

• Water treatment • Management Information System

• Maintenance • Mobile internet access

• Quality assurance • Commissioning

• Service sector • BOS

Active and passive
RFID Tags

Especially when using RFID the customer
and his application finally decide which
kind of frequency, tags and reading de­vices are used. In cooperation with so­lution par tners ecom instruments has
developed optimised RFID modules
especially for mobile applications. These
guarantee the highest level of flexibility
and freedom of decision.

2D barcode imager

All common linear bar codes as well as 2D codes with high
amounts of data and integrated security features, such as Aztec
or DataMatrix, can be read directly. Complete labels can easi­ly and rapidly be scanned using the integrated CMOS camera.
According to the needs and requirements of the client also other
reading systems, like classic laser scanners, can be applied.

Interfaces

With the demand for efficiency of production and logistics, it is
essential that high quality radio transmission solutions are availa­ble. The i.roc x20 provides adaptability, so that the latest techno­logy can be applied. Depending on individual requirements, dif­ferent ways of communication can be selected on the i.roc x20.
Online access can allow direct access into the company. Both
WLAN and Bluetooth interfaces are integrated as standard,
allowing serial point to point connections or network access.
