Intermic has launched a new open-platform browser for use in supply chains.
According to Intermic the new HTML5-capable browser allows development of web applications that can be utilised by iOS, Android and select Intermec rugged mobile computers.
Intermec Mobile Solutions Business Unit Senior Vice President Earl Thompson says the HTML5 offering includes a true web browser application for multiple models of Intermec’s handheld computers for Windows mobile and Windows embedded operating systems.
He says Intermec’s HTML5-capable browser also supports applications designed to run either online (connected to a web server), offline (no connection to a web server) or a combination of the two.
“Intermec’s new HTML5-capable browser offers enterprises the flexibility to equip their mobile workers with a modern user interface and latest business logic, along with the right device for their specific working conditions and usage demands,” he says.
Thompson says HTML5 applications that run on smartphones and tablets can also run on the Intermec rugged mobile computers without changes or rewrites.
He says data
can alsobe stored locally on the device until synchronization with the back-end server is available, eliminating time lost due to poor cellular coverage.
