Improves operations for distribution center and warehouse-based applications...

PITTSBURGH, US Wooburn Green, UK January 13 Vocollect, Inc., provider of the most widely used voice systems for improving supply chain performance, today announced that it will offer Vocollect Voice on the new Intermec CK3 rugged mobile computer.

Vocollect Voice eliminates unnecessary distractions, helping distribution workers focus on the task instead of the tools. This is achieved by talking people through their daily tasks, replacing cumbersome lists and traditional data capture methods with hands-free, personal voice dialogs.

Its functionality is fully adaptable to the widest range of vertical markets, including food and grocery, retail, consumer packaged goods, third-party logistics, healthcare, automotive, pharmaceutical and manufacturing.

We are excited to begin this new collaboration with Intermec, said Tom Upshur, vice president of product management and marketing at Vocollect. The proven gains our customers realise in productivity, accuracy and safety through the performance and adaptability of Vocollect Voice now can be accessed by Intermec customers the world over to meet their diverse supply chain and logistics needs.

Commercially available this spring, the new offering is designed to meet the highest standards for voice capability on a device that is highly adaptable to meet the ever-changing data capture and communication needs of global supply chain customers.
