Honeywell has introduced Dolphin 6000, a mobile device that bridges the gap between consumer mobile phones, industrial mobile computers and bar code scanners, empowering mobile information workers to connect, collect and communicate at the point of customer service. The Dolphin 6000 Scanphone automates the data collection process and delivers real-time access to business data, leading to improved productivity, more informed decision making and lower operating costs.
Shailesh Deshmukh, Country Manager for India said "The Dolphin 6000 delivers more reliability, more powerful scan performance and greater line of business application support than any smartphone in the market. It is an improvement over consumer-grade smartphones used for enterprise applications. Hence the Dolphin 6000 genuinely meets the barcode scanning needs of mobile information workers."
In addition to its basic mobile phone functionality, the Dolphin 6000 offers advanced productivity features including field service, field sales, and retail and logistics operations.
Sameer Parekh, MD, Intellicon said, "As Honeywell's partner for over 15 years, Intellicon has been in the forefront of bringing new products which help address various verticals and applications for today's ever growing need for mobility solutions. The latest addition to the family, Dolphin® 6000, helps to address the requirements of field force automation solutions with an enterprise class rugged mobile platform which till recently was being serviced by highly failure prone Lifestyle Mobility solutions from competitors."
More rugged than a smartphone, the IP-rated Dolphin 6000 is resistant to moisture and particle intrusion. The device comes equipped with a long-lasting battery. The Dolphin 6000 also has an integrated megapixel camera and is optimized for voice communication. Multiple wireless options, including GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, help users stay connected in a variety of environments.
The Dolphin 6000 is available with Honeywell's Service Made Simple service offering, which provides comprehensive coverage on normal wear and tear, as well as accidental breakage for up to three years, providing a level of support, reliability and longevity that is not available with a consumer device. Further, the device supports low failure rates and unlike a smartphone, has a 3 year life cycle with 5 years of post production support, helping businesses keep mobile device acquisition costs low.
The Dolphin 6000 will begin shipping globally in July. The countries of Australia and India are the first markets in this part of the world where it is being launched.
