Thor VM1A
VehicleMount Computer
Forklifts and vehicle-mount computers are essential tools in the
day-to-day workflows of warehouses, manufacturing, ports, and
intermodal environments. You need to keep moving products and
materials in and out all day long, without compromise, and without
worrying that your vehicle-mount computer won’t be able to keep
up with your workforce or your IT infrastructure. You need the Thor™
VM1A.
Built with many of the same easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain features
of the popular Thor VM1 and CV41 models, the rugged, Android™-
based Thor VM1A also offers all the advantages of Honey well’s
Mobility Edge™ platform – including the ability to accelerate
provisioning, application certification, and deployment across the
enterprise. The Thor VM1A is upgradable from Android O to Android
R, and features extended security update support to maximize
return on customer investment and provide a lower overall TCO. The
device’s advanced enterprise configuration and software suppor t
tools also simplif y frequently repeated tasks such as unit setup and
distribution of security and software updates.
Compact, ergonomic, and powerful, the Thor VM1A has numerous
breakthrough features designed to maximize productivity, minimize
visual obstructions, and reduce or eliminate downtime. The powerful
Qualcomm 660 processor, integrated keyboard, and 2x2 MIMO
WLAN communications keep workers connected and productive.
Built to withstand extreme temperatures, the device’s large 8-inch
display, readable both indoors and outdoors, supports both resistive
and capacitive touchscreen options, and is available with an optional
screen defroster for use in cold storage and freezer environments.
The Smart Dock feature delivers immediate savings on support and
maintenance costs while maximizing efficiency, enabling users
Built on the future-proof Mobility Edge
platform, the Android-based Thor VM1A
vehicle-mount computer is built tough to handle
harsh warehouses, ports, and intermodal and
manufacturing environments.
to quickly shift computers as vehicles fail or
workloads change. The field-replaceable front
panel allows enterprises to minimize investments
in spare parts by substituting low-cost spare front
panels for spare computers, and saves valuable
time and maintenance costs by leveraging inhouse staff to service touchscreen or keyboard
failures.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
The Smar t Dock
feature enables
mounting and removal
in seconds without
touching cabling,
saving on support and
maintenance costs
while minimizing capital
expense by allowing the
shifting of computers
between vehicles as
workloads change.
The field-replaceable
front panel reduces
maintenance costs
by enabling on-site
unskilled personnel to
service the most wearand abuse-prone
components
themselves rather
than returning them
to the repair depot.
Security update
availability is just
as important as
computer durability
for maximizing a
computer’s useful
life. Mobility Edge
products provide five
more years of security
updates than a typical
Android device.
No need to choose
between optimizing
productivity and
minimizing IT
support costs. All
Honeywell Mobility
Edge computers
share a common
hardware and sof tware
platform. From an IT
perspective, they are
all the same produc t.
The Mobility Edge
hardware platform
and enterprise
lifecycle tools drive an
integrated, repeatable,
scalable approach
for accelerated and
secure development,
deployment,
performance, and
lifecycle management.
