We can help you with the transition to Android OS

Your mobile computers with built-in barcode scanners (otherwise known as "portable terminals") that you use on the shop floor, in the warehouse, or for data retrieval in production, are long past their prime.They're battered, sometimes with cracked slides, keys worn so that you can barely read the letters, and repairs are becoming more frequent. They still work, but there's no escaping the fundamental question of what to replace them with.

The situation has become clearer following Microsoft©'s announcement that it is ending support for even the last mobile platform still alive, Windows 10 Mobile, in December 2019. Support for the Windows CE and WEH operating systems was discontinued back in 2018.So if you want to replace your mobile devices with ones that are fully compatible with all modern technologies, you have no choice but to switch to the Android operating system.

Comparing the features of mobile computers according to the operating system used is the focus of our blog What operating system for your terminal?

If you're switching from a Windows operating system and using enterprise connectivity via HTML5 clients or VT/IBM terminal emulation, you've solved the problem. As with Windows-based devices, you purchase the necessary number of professional web browser licensesor terminal emulation, and your new mobile computers will behave exactly as you're used to.

However, if you need your specific application to run on your newly purchased devices, who will build it for you? Android mobile computers don't have something like the App Generator, and programmers are expensive. We offer to create the APK program you need according to your specifications. We also accept templates created by CipherLab's terminal app generator (ATF or AGX files) as a base. The program we create for you will have the same controls and output files as the template you provide. You can find specific examples of our work on Google Play under the names Barcode Logger and Barcode Logger Lookup.
