TS8: Elegant, intuitive and powerful mobile data terminal.
Artec has established a new class of high-performance mobile terminal technology combined with ergonomic excellence. Triskan series mobile terminals provide industrial strength, maximum scanning convenience and increased productivity.
Handheld mobile terminal — we created it with users in mind
For retail, health care, logistics, warehousing, archiving, etc. organizations.
We made comfort, convenience, and ergonomics a top priority when designing the TS8.
It has been optimized for one hand operations.
Simple
TS8's display enables a greater range of colors, brightness, contrast and viewing angles than typical displays.
TS8 is user-friendly and cost-effective: simple battery exchange, back lit keys, compliance with most inventory systems, GSM/GPRS, WiFi, CDMA communications, possible to change scanning/reading modules.
World's First OLED QVGA Equipped Mobile Terminal
TS8 features the world's first OLED QVGA equipped mobile terminal device for retail, transportation, warehousing, manufacturing and healthcare sectors. The high-resolution, crisp, and vivid 2.8" display distributes information clearly and effectively — maximizing user experience.
Scanning Capability
TS8 platform supports industry recognized scanning methods such as Laser 1D, 2D Imager, RFID (HF/UHF), ChipCard. The 1D and 2D scanners can be combined into a single reader with the HF RFID scanner. Contact a service provider for your scanning needs.
Connectivity
TS8 platform enables it to be configured as a member of a GPRS mobile network or as a network device in a corporate WiFi network. Compatible with major protocol vendors such as Cisco. Built-in Bluetooth allows access to remote printers. TS8 integrates with existing server back-end infrastructures.
Ergonomic Keypad
TS8 is equipped with an ergonomic back-lit keypad enabling responsive one-hand operations and enhanced visibility in poorly lit conditions. The dome sealed keys are strategically placed to reduce user fatigue and facilitate access to most frequently used buttons. The maintenance friendly keypad is free of cavities and sharp corners - making the TS8 ideal for clean environment scenarios.
Power Unit
TS8 features an industry standard smart battery pack with a built-in charger. A standard 5V wall-mount power-supply is used to charge the 2000mAh high-capacity battery. The "slide-and-lock" battery unit provides easy access to the sturdy SIM card holder and also doubles as its protective cover.
Apps and Data
An optional microSD card upgrade enables the TS8 to store applications and data up to 2GB - making the TS8 suitable for situations temporarily lacking wireless connectivity.
Developer Program
Since July 2009 the beta version of the Server Application Development Kit (SADK) for Triskan TS8 is available. SADK is the framework provided by Artec for building JAVA-based server applications for TS8 PLE terminal-scanners. PLE protocol is a form-based text terminal protocol the TS8 mobile terminal-scanners are using for connecting to application servers over GPRS or WLAN. Triskan Firmware Development Kit (FDK) is made available to certified software development partners.
