Saving Big Remotely: ClarkDietrich Uses Intermec by Honeywell SmartSystems With ScanNGo to Remotely Deploy and Manage New CK71 Mobile Computers Across 13 Locations

The Intermec by Honeywell CK71 with N radio provided one of the fastest radios on the market, as well as a faster processor and the best 2D imager extended range scanner with the EX25 scan engine. ClarkDietrich had worked with Intermec by Honeywell partner Key Solutions during previous upgrades of the data collection equipment. The partner provided demo gear, an understanding of the business, as well as an understanding of the Intermec by Honeywell product offerings. In past installations, a member of the company’s IT department would travel to each facility to help configure and install the hardware. However, for this installation, Key Solutions recommended Intermec by Honeywell SmartSystems with the ScanNGo feature for a remote deployment option. ClarkDietrich’s IT department was then able to use ScanNGo to set up the radio settings to get the hardware onto the network. A separate ScanNGo bar code was then created for the network settings and security information for each facility. Another 2D barcode was scanned to load the custom application CAB file from a server on the network. By doing this, the units were configured at the corporate headquarters and then sent to each individual facility. No one from IT then needed to travel to the various plants for configuration.
