LogiMAT 2010: New Nordic ID Morphic GPRS - a combination of mobile computer and mobile phone

Nordic ID showcases powerful mobile computers for the logistics sector

Press Release / 11th of January, 2009

Herford, Germany +++ Nordic ID will showcase its substantial portfolio of powerful mobile computers and handheld terminals for mobile date recording in the logistics sector at LogiMAT 2010 (2 – 4 March 2010, hall 3/stand 423). Among others, visitors will get a glance at the new version of our versatile Nordic ID Morphic mobile computer with GPRS module and 2D Imager. Thanks to the GPRS communication option, Nordic ID Morphic enables wireless data exchange with a host system across the complete GSM mobile phone network, e.g. to document the flow of goods in real time. Thus this mobile computer that looks like a mobile phone is particularly suitable for use in logistics and in the field service. In addition to enabling wireless data transmission, Nordic ID Morphic can also be used like a mobile phone for voice communication via GSM. As SMS and voice messaging is also possible together with telephony, there is no more need for an additional mobile phone. The new version of Nordic ID Morphic also offers a 2D Imager for reading two-dimensional barcodes as an alternative to the laser scanner.

As a further highlight, Nordic ID will present its PL3000 Cross Dipole UHF at LogiMAT. With two crossed dipole aerials, this RFID handheld combines the reading range of a linear areal with the omnidirectionality of circular aerials, thus minimising the energy consumption. The European EPC Competence Center (EECC) only recently certified the RFID performance of Nordic ID PL3000 Cross Dipole. The RFID handheld not only produced convincing results and got very good marks in the categories ‘transmission power’, ‘aerial characteristics’ and ‘suitability for daily use’, but even achieved the best value ever measured for ‘receiver sensibility’ in an EECC testing procedure. With the PL3000’s two crossed dipole aerials, RFID tags can be read from a distance of more than four meters. Moreover, it is possible to record barcodes and RFID tags in one step, even if the tags are located in closed boxes. This is particularly expedient in the logistics chain where individual boxes containing goods with tags are transported in bundles on pallets.
