Thor VM1
Vehicle-Mount Computer
In today’s supply chain, the only constant is change. Disruptions, whether
short-term like a forklift failure, or long-term like a natural disaster, are a
fact of life. The supply chains best prepared to adapt to these disruptions
will use mobile computing technology that gives them greater flexibility.
The Thor VM1 vehicle-mount computer (VMC), the tenth generation of
VMC developed by Honeywell, provides unprecedented flexibility, and
with it, breakthroughs in supply chain productivity.
The VM1 combines a fast 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, WWAN,
®
WLAN, and Bluetooth
CE 6.0 or Windows® Embedded Standard operating system, with three
breakthrough innovations that can create immediate time savings and
productivity gains. A field-replaceable front panel empowers the end user
to repair the most common breaking point of vehicle-mount computers,
or convert a standard-temp unit to a freezer-ready unit, in a matter of
minutes, with only a screwdriver. The VM1’s Quick Mount Smart Dock
separates the computer from the power supply, letting a user undock the
unit from one forklift and redock it on a second vehicle, without missing
a single transaction. And the VM1’s ignition control feature allows the
user to set power management preferences to save startup time and
extend vehicle battery life.
wireless connectivity, and a Microsoft® Windows
Dramatic productivity gains become possible when innovation shatters
conventional thinking, even in the most challenging environments. Ready
to see how the VM1 can change your enterprise?
Features
• Smart Dock: Enables mounting and removal in seconds
like a laptop dock but with the ruggedness and sealing
required for industrial applications; maximizes efficiency
by dynamically shifting workers and computers as the
workload changes, while minimizing maintenance cost
by enabling a computer to be shifted from one vehicle to
another in 1/6 the standard time
• Field-Replaceable Front Panel: Reduces capital and
maintenance cost by integrating the two most wear and
• Ignition Control: Eliminates the maintenance expense and
abuse prone components, the keyboard and touchscreen,
into a user-replaceable part; reduces capital costs by
substituting spare front panels for spare computers
lost productivity caused by a dead vehicle battery; unit can
be configured to automatically go into standby or hibernate
at a selectable time after the ignition switch is turned off,
saving time for associates while eliminating a point of
concern for warehouse management
