Honeywell teams up with TOSHIBA TEC to provide a powerful wireless printing solution for mobile applications

Strategic Business Partner delivers rugged mobile solution and value added services for parcel delivery, retail, warehousing and healthcare

BRUSSELS/EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands – August 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that TOSHIBA TEC—a Honeywell Strategic Business Partner—now offers Honeywell’s full line of mobility products, including a leading-edge wireless solution with rugged TOSHIBA TEC portable printers, in the entire Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

After years of successful cooperation in retail applications, TOSHIBA TEC and Honeywell have developed a rugged and reliable solution based on the Honeywell Dolphin® mobile computer range and TOSHIBA TEC B-EP2DL and B-EP4DL portable thermal printer series suitable for parcel delivery, retail, healthcare, hospitality and warehousing operations.

The heavy-duty printers have been certified to operate seamlessly with Honeywell mobile computers, and thanks to the fast communication protocol, they allow for extremely efficient data transfer. This affordable solution is ideal for connecting Honeywell mobile computers and TOSHIBA TEC printers—via an infra-red, Bluetooth or WiFi connection—to the information and applications needed, anytime, anywhere.

“Honeywell Dolphin mobile computers together with our portable printers provide our customers with a hassle-free solution for labelling on the shop floor, printing prescriptions or sample labels on hospital wards, issuing tickets at events, or bar codes in the warehouse,” said Angel de Juan, European Director, TOSHIBA TEC Auto ID Division.

“Honeywell’s product portfolio is one of the broadest in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry, and our mobile devices are known for their ergonomics, ruggedness and long battery life,” said Peter Howes, EMEA Sales Leader, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “Together with TOSHIBA TEC’s value added services and their smart and rugged portable printers, we are excited to provide our customers with a solution that will increase efficiency, reduce costs and result in an impressive return on investment.”

Honeywell Scanning & Mobility is composed of the product and technology offerings from Hand Held Products and Metrologic Instruments, two companies acquired by Honeywell in late 2007 and mid 2008, respectively. The combined business delivers data capture solutions for vertical markets including healthcare, retail, and transportation and logistics. TOSHIBA TEC provides customers with complete Auto ID solutions to deliver operational efficiencies using thoroughly tested ‘Best of Breed’ technology platforms.
