Wireless Terminal Emulation

Integrating mobile computers with Legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems

You have an existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or Warehouse Management System (WMS), and you are contemplating an upgrade to a new system that supports mobile computing. However, your existing system represents many years worth of development effort, and you are concerned about the expense and disruption of a major upgrade.

Terminal Emulation Software

Wireless terminal emulation is a way to add new functionality to your legacy software, protecting your investment, saving time, and reducing risk. Terminal emulation software from Barcoding Inc. allows wireless terminal devices to behave just like a standard terminal, so they can work with your existing system. The host system doesn't know the difference.

Radio frequency technology allows mobile devices, as well as computers and printers, to communicate with each other wirelessly within a Local Area Network (LAN). This technology is extremely useful in large warehouses where having up-to-the-second information is essential to run a business in the most efficient way possible. RF systems use several different standards, the most popular is 802.11b, which is a universal standard used by Symbol and most other manufacturers.
