Handheld scanner provider Janam Technologies LLC said Thursday it launched an addition to its XM series of rugged mobile computers for warehouse applications in barcode scanning and wireless communication.

The XM75 features a keypad and touch screen in the same device and is designed for data-input-intensive applications in transportation, logistics, route accounting, direct store delivery, and field service, according to Woodbury, N.Y.-based Janam.

The combination of a smartphone-like design and support of touchscreen or keypad interfaces makes the XM75 versatile enough to serve in many industrial applications, Janam Technologies CEO Harry B. Lerner said in a statement.

The product supports Google Inc.'s Android operating system and offers wireless connectivity through 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, global positioning system (GPS), and Bluetooth, supporting voice and data applications, the company said. Janam also offers an optional trigger handle accessory for convenience in scan-intensive environments.

High-tech solution helps truckload carrier drive change

The trucking industry faces a range of challenges these days, particularly when it comes to load planning—a resource-intensive task that often results in suboptimal decisions, unnecessary empty miles, late deliveries, and inefficient asset utilization. What’s more, delays in decision-making due to a lack of real-time insights can hinder operational efficiency, making cost management a constant struggle.

Truckload carrier Paper Transport Inc. (PTI) experienced this firsthand when the company sought to expand its over the-road (OTR), intermodal, and brokerage offerings to include dedicated fleet services for high-volume shippers—adding a layer of complexity to the business. The additional personnel required for such a move would be extremely costly, leading PTI to investigate technology solutions that could help close the gap.
