PSC Falcon 330 and PSC Falcon 335 Portable Data Terminals

Automatic Data Collection is the need of today's businesses striving for greater efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness. The Falcon series 330/335 by PSC is the answer. Open standards, powerful applications and ease of use allow these portable data collection terminals to integrate seamlessly into the supply chain systems of all companies involved in logistics, manufacturing, retail, warehousing and distribution.

The PSC Falcon 335 has a sleek, environmentally sealed case and built-in, front-shooting laser. Its powerful 486 processor, running at 33MHz, operates under DOS 6.2. The PSC Falcon 330/335 comes with 8MB of RAM standard, 2MB of Flash ROM, a PC Card Slot, a 16-line screen and 38 key alphanumeric keypad. Open architecture ensures easy application development. And the Falcon 330/335 is available with PowerNet TN to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal emulations with screen formatter, allowing swift and simple integration into your existing legacy system.

While the PSC Falcon 330 provides ideal batch data collection solutions, the Falcon 335, our latest wireless data collection terminal, excels in data collection over wide, on-campus areas where physical distances prohibit hardwiring. Its internal antenna is protected and its 2.4Ghz spread spectrum radio features BreezeCOM, Lucent, Proxim and Symbol radio support for maximum flexibility. The PSC Falcon 335 has raised the bar in RF, real-time data collection technology.

With international quality standards set by ISO 9000, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Just In Time (JIT), and Total Quality Management (TQM), companies are required to have documented procedures and effective automated data capture applications, such as inventory control, work in progress, labor tracking, receiving-put away and pick/ship systems. The aptly named Falcon soars above the competition in this environment.
