Handheld fulfills record order to world-leading package delivery company
LIDKOPING, Sweden, April 20, 2022, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Handheld Group 
[https://www.handheldgroup.com/?utm_source=PRNewsWire&utm_medium=PressRelease&ut
m_campaign=RecordOrder], a leading manufacturer of rugged mobile computers, 
today announces the delivery of a record order to a global leader in logistic 
solutions. 

The record order is for Handheld’s newly launched SP500X ScanPrinter, an 
innovative wearable solution used for package sorting and printing across the 
customer’s distribution facilities. The SP500X ScanPrinter is replacing a 
previous solution that Handheld has been providing to the logistics giant since 
2012. 

The compact and wearable SP500X ScanPrinter 
[https://www.handheldgroup.com/handheld-rugged-mobile-computers/wearables/sp500x
/?utm_source=PRNewsWire&utm_medium=PressRelease&utm_campaign=RecordOrder] is a 
unique scan-and-print solution that eliminates the need for printed labels and 
combines 2D imaging, inkjet printing and wireless communication in one device. 
The hand-mounted SP500X scans a package and transmits the information to the 
warehouse management system (WMS) which recognizes the package and identifies 
where it should go. That information comes back instantly, and the device then 
prints directly on the package without the need for labels.

The SP500X is built around inkjet printer technology licensed from 
Hewlett-Packard (HP) and features innovative, new technology that will enhance 
package sorting and inventory management operations. Handheld also has an 
agreement with HP 
[https://www.hp.com/uk-en/hp-news/press-release.html?id=1271205] to develop and 
sell printing products worldwide based on HP's thermal inkjet print cartridges. 

“We’ve been looking forward to fulfilling the first massive order,” says Jim 
Rimay CEO of Handheld US. “We are thrilled to build on this long-term 
relationship by providing a unique and wearable solution to a global logistics 
leader like this. Their decision to continue the partnership with Handheld with 
this record order is a testament to the improved productivity and the increase 
in efficiency that the SP500X brings.” 

”It is a great achievement in challenging times to build and deliver such a key 
device to a customer of this stature. We are proud to once again have been 
chosen to supply mission-critical products to a global leader,” said Thomas 
Löfblad, CEO, Handheld Group. “It highlights our success in closely partnering 
with customers to bring increased efficiency, greater usability and high value 
to their operations.”

Availability
The SP500X ScanPrinter is in stock and available for ordering.
