Ultra Rugged Mobile Computer

The Intermec CK70 is the next-generation, ultra-rugged mobile computing solution is built on a common architecture and platform designed to increase user efficiency and improve customer service and service level agreement (SLA) compliance in demanding courier express and parcel delivery environments.

Today’s courier express, parcel and postal operations are in a race against time. Dimly lit trucks and warehouses, damaged barcodes, incorrect addresses, spotty wireless coverage, and weather extremes pose never-ending challenges to the goals of improving customer service and SLA compliance. When it comes to selecting the optimal rugged mobile business solution to help you meet these goals, you often face another challenge: satisfying the needs and preferences of IT, Operations and the device user without making a trade-offs.

Intermec is the first to offer a no compromise solution with the CK70 ultra-rugged mobile computer. The CK70 meets your challenges head on with next generation features that focus on increasing efficiency and delivering unparalleled reliability for track & trace and proof of delivery applications, even in the most extreme conditions.

Extend the use of the CK70 into hazardous locations with the non-incendive certified (Div. 2) CK70. The design of the CK70 is specifically optimized for the courier express, parcel (CEP) and postal environments. In addition to being 12% smaller and lighter than other form factors in its ultra-rugged class, the CK70 supports workers in this fast moving, mobile environment with an application specific keyboard layout that is both slender and back-lit to allow for effortless, all day single-handed use.

Intermec has developed the industry’s fastest imaging engine, capable of scanning barcodes moving at up to 12.7m (500 in) per second, enabling the CK70 to provide remarkable motion tolerance and high read rates even in a highly dynamic work environment. The CK70 aiming system, featuring bright white LED illumination and a red laser aimer optimized for all lighting conditions, projects downward at a 35° angle allowing easier scanning of barcodes on parcels and enabling your mobile workers to view the mobile computer screen while scanning.

Reliability You Can Count On

Scratched, damaged displays and missing or unreadable keys not only slow your workers down, they reflect poorly on your company’s image. The CK70 includes a brilliant VGA display with a wear-resistant Gorilla™ Glass touch panel providing twice the service life of older touch panel Technologies. Industrial grade polycarbonate keys with indestructible laser-etched legends ensure that the CK70 stays in your workers’ hands instead of the repair depot.

By combining a multi-processor architecture that delivers up to three times the performance at half the power consumption of legacy processors along with state-of-the-art battery health diagnostics, the CK70 can be relied upon to deliver the power and performance you require, for even your longest routes, as well as reduce the expense of replacement batteries.  The CK70 not only offers you the highest throughput available with a 3.75G WWAN radio, but also a choice of either UMTS / HSPA or CDMA / EVDO Rev A. And with the industry’s first dual-band 802.11n WLAN radio, mobile workers returning to sorting and distribution facilities will enjoy rock solid performance and high throughput, even in areas where they might experience low signal levels or intermittent connections with traditional 802.11a/b/g products.

Based on a Shared Platform

The CK70 is just one model out of four ergonomic designs that are available in the 70 Series family. Each model includes choices of radios, keypads, imagers, software and services providing you the option of tailoring a specific solution to meet the various application areas within your environment and the preferences and needs of your employees.  With a single platform approach, the 70 Series family is unique in its ability to reduce infrastructure complexity and cost. The single computer architecture, software build, set of peripherals and charging system that is shared between the 70 Series products brings simplicity to the frequent tasks of software updates, training new employees, managing spares pools and charging devices.
