 Selling Itronix Ruggedized Products

 

Authored by Steve Van Tol, Inside Sales Manager

 

Have you or your customers ever been unable to take your laptop, pen tablet or handheld unit with you because of the environment you were working in? If yes, you should be looking at Itronix. WAV offers a fantastic line of rugged devices that will enhance your product portfolio as a reseller and offer your customers a rugged solution that can handle extreme conditions.

Itronix addresses three key areas of mobile computing in the rugged arena: 

Rugged Notebooks: This product type is anchored by the new Go Book III. The Go Book III has a drop specification of 26 consecutive drops from 3ft., can be configured with wireless connectivity by using 802.11 or CDMA (Spring, Nextel, etc) technology, and with an IP54 rating, it can withstand dust/moisture exposure. The Go Book III can also be ordered with Windows XP PRO and has enough HD space and RAM to support several applications. 

Pen Tablets: The Itronix GoBook Tablet PC shares the same specifications of the GoBook line in many regards, including the wireless feature. 

Handheld Devices: The Itronix Q-200 is a great handheld unit that has been implemented in several shop floor/warehouses, replacing less rugged data collection devices. Some features include an IP-67 rating, drop specification of 2 meters to concrete, 52-key backlight display, simultaneous support of 3 integrated wireless radios, Windows CE, integrated 1D scanner and touch screen.  

Itronix products cater to a seemingly infinite amount of applications. WAV has helped implement the Go Book and the GoBook Tablet PC into several WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers) to replace traditional PDAs or notebooks. Of course, these units will not survive a fall from a tower that’s hundreds of feet in the air, but the rugged factor is helpful as it can be hooked to a utility belt and won’t be affected by bumps and jolts while scaling a tower. Combine the ruggedness with the CDMA wireless capability, and this product becomes a great fit. 

We have also had great success in implementing Itronix pen tablets and notebooks into warehouse/shop floor applications. These products are ideal for such applications as standard devices are not intended to be mounted on a forktruck, hand-cart, or for general shop floor use. 

Additional Itronix Selling Points:

  • Itronix isn’t over-distributed: WAV is the ONLY stocking Itronix Distributor

  • Good Margins: Based on the fact that the product isn’t over-distributed, the reseller community maintains great margins when selling Itronix products

  • Extended maintenance plans: WAV offers a variety of extended maintenance plans that will increase your bottom line and give your customers peace of mind

  • Technical support: Both Itronix and WAV have the technical expertise to help you deploy and support the Itronix product line
