RF (Radio Frequency)

Do you have mobile users who need to be able to get information from the CheckMate database, no matter where they are?

Example: A lift driver is picking inventory for sales orders using CheckMate Inventory software, while another driver is putting away incoming product. Driver A needs to know where driver B put the material that just came in.

Do you have mobile operators whose data has real-time importance to others?

Example: An internal courier is moving client files around an insurance office, using CheckMate Document Tracking to update the locations of the files. The customer service department needs to be able to find a file at any moment.

Solution: CheckMate with RF (radio frequency). A CheckMate user equipped with an RF unit always has available the latest CheckMate data, and data that he or she collects is immediately available to all other CheckMate users. Here is how it is done. RF base stations (access points) are placed at a few locations around your facility and connected to your ethernet network. Your LAN becomes a wireless LAN. Mobile operators are provided with hand-held units that can send and receive data via radio. CheckMate software, running on a Windows workstation, receives a message from a hand-held unit, updates the CheckMate data, and sends a response back to the unit in the operator's hand.

CheckMate Inventory, CheckMate Document Tracking, and CheckMate Tool Tracking become real-time tools to make everything in your operation happen faster.
