LIDKOPING, Sweden, April 20, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Handheld Group

[https://www.handheldgroup.com/?utm_source=PRNewsWire&utm_medium=PressRelease&ut

m_campaign=RecordOrder], a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers,

today announces the delivery of a record order to a global leader in logistic

solutions.

The record order is for Handheld’s newly launched SP500X ScanPrinter, an

innovative wearable solution used for package sorting and printing across the

customer’s distribution facilities. The SP500X ScanPrinter is replacing a

previous solution that Handheld has been providing to the logistics giant since

2012.

The compact and wearable SP500X ScanPrinter

[https://www.handheldgroup.com/handheld-rugged-mobile-computers/wearables/sp500x

/?utm_source=PRNewsWire&utm_medium=PressRelease&utm_campaign=RecordOrder] is a

unique scan-and-print solution that eliminates the need for printed labels and

combines 2D imaging, inkjet printing and wireless communication in one device.

The hand-mounted SP500X scans a package and transmits the information to the

warehouse management system (WMS) which recognizes the package and identifies

where it should go. That information comes back instantly, and the device then

prints directly on the package without the need for labels.

The SP500X is built around inkjet printer technology licensed from

Hewlett-Packard (HP) and features innovative, new technology that will enhance

package sorting and inventory management operations. Handheld also has an

agreement with HP

[https://www.hp.com/uk-en/hp-news/press-release.html?id=1271205] to develop and

sell printing products worldwide based on HP's thermal inkjet print cartridges.

“We’ve been looking forward to fulfilling the first massive order,” says Jim

Rimay CEO of Handheld US. “We are thrilled to build on this long-term

relationship by providing a unique and wearable solution to a global logistics

leader like this. Their decision to continue the partnership with Handheld with

this record order is a testament to the improved productivity and the increase

in efficiency that the SP500X brings.”

”It is a great achievement in challenging times to build and deliver such a key

device to a customer of this stature. We are proud to once again have been

chosen to supply mission-critical products to a global leader,” said Thomas

Löfblad, CEO, Handheld Group. “It highlights our success in closely partnering

with customers to bring increased efficiency, greater usability and high value

to their operations.”
