The Smart Point® uses an electronic pen to transfer the information to the hand-held computer terminal it is connected to. The hand-held computer contains communications software that makes it possible to read, write and rewrite data. Whether previously inserted or just written to the Smart Point®, these data remain in the memory of the hand-held unit and can be uploaded when the unit is connected to a PC.
Likewise a work program can be prepared on the PC and then downloaded to the hand-held unit. The operator using the unit, follows the requirements, polling and/or writing the Smart Point® units in the field and finally uploading the results to the PC.
All this ensures extraordinary alignment between the data in the field and those in the coordination center.
Smart Point® is a noteworthy technological innovation for the use and management of industrial logistics because it makes it possible to:
- write and rewrite from 58 to 488 characters to memory
- customize the unit, from the very first use, so it can be irreversibly dedicated to a specific application for a specific user
- guarantee data privacy through use of a code selected from among 3.5 billion possible combinations
- ensure absolute reliability, preserving the data in the memory for more than 100 years (at +25°C) and up to 10 years (at +85°C)
- align field data with the corporate databases
- achieve high versatility, since it can use a full series of reading, writing and saving data devices able to cover all application requirements. In addition, systems are available to interface Hardware and Software with standard Personal Computers for each subsequent data processing or transmission (handling)
- realize a wide range of applications, and, given its small dimensions (3.5 mm in diameter by 0.8 mm in thickness), this holds true even when space is a critical factor
The current projects bear witness to the multi-sector versatility of the Smart Point® System. (
