Thor VM2

Vehicle-Mount Computer
Solidifying Honeywell’s position as the leader in vehicle-mount computing,
the Thor VM2 builds on the best-in-class Thor VM1 that was created
specifically to address the unique challenges of supply chain applications.

Ideally suitable for warehouse, port and yard process automation, the NEW
Thor VM2 introduces an additional form factor option granting greater Windows 7 Pro
WES 7
flexibility which is emphasized by its 9.7” XGA display, programmable
multi-function keys, and WLAN and WWAN connectivity. Available with
Microsoft Windows CE 6.0, Windows 7 Pro, Windows Embedded
Standard 7 and Windows Embedded Standard 2009 operating systems
and compatible with many industry standard terminal emulation and web
browser applications including the popular Honeywell RFTerm™ TE,
the Thor VM2 is built for simple and easy application development and
system integration.

The same key features that have made the Thor VM1 an overwhelming
success are in VM2. Delivering laptop-like simplicity, the Smart Dock
capability allows for the separation of the computer from the power supply
empowering users to seamlessly migrate from vehicle to vehicle and
reducing the required number of computers. Further, the field-replaceable
front panel enables single-tool touch screen repairs, which significantly
minimizes downtime and maintenance costs resulting from wear and
tear at the most common breaking point. Lastly, the power management
settings that accompany the ignition control feature virtually eliminate dead
vehicle batteries and the subsequent productivity losses.

The supply chain industry requires workers to function in rough conditions

where unique challenges exist. As a result, it is important to incorporate the
highest efficiency while maintaining low cost. With the unique features in
Thor VM2, businesses are able to address and respond to these versatile
issues as they occur, dramatically improving operations.
