Solution	Honeywell provided an inventory solution that includes the PC42t desktop printer and the CK3X handheld computer. When a helicopter part arrives at the aeromedical base, a specific label is created by the PC42t desktop printer and placed on the part. The part is then scanned by the CK3X handheld computer and assigned a location label to ensure it can be quickly found when needed. This system not only helps in locating spare parts but also provides visibility on when common helicopter parts are running low and need to be reordered. The PC42t desktop printer is quiet, reliable, and fits seamlessly into the existing printing environment, while the CK3X handheld computer enhances accuracy and productivity with its sleek, easy-to-carry design. The rugged and versatile CK3X adapts to almost all working conditions and temperatures, making it an ideal choice for the demanding environment of helicopter maintenance.
