Elliott V7.2 WMS Hardware

• Elliott Warehouse Management System is part of
  Elliott application and will only run on Windows
  32-bit OS
• Notebook Computer (Recommend)
• Tablet PC (Recommend)
• Stationary PC (OK for Shipping Verification)
• Or any device (WinCE) supports Terminal Services
• Notebook and Tablet PC should have wireless
  capability
• Barcode Scanner are desirable
• Especially Wireless Barcode are recommended

Elliott WMS Hardware Strategy

• Elliott will use standard hardware
• No proprietary hardware
• Most warehouse management solution today is based
  on expensive proprietary hardware.
• An Intermec portable RF barcode scanner sell for
  4,000 - 5,000.
• Standard hardware are cost effective and
  versatile
• A typical tablet PC or Notebook with wireless
  capability is around 2,000.
• A Tablet PC or Notebook can run all Elliott
  functions and all regular PC applications.

4
Ideal Hardware Configuration

• A lightweight Tablet PC or Notebook with extended
  battery
• Last up to 6 to 8 hrs.
• Weight less than 3 lbs.
• Wireless connection on the portable PC
• WIFI 802.11b/g (best performance)
• Require up front investment to wire the warehouse
• 10K - 20K for a 90,000 SQFT warehouse.
• Sprint Wireless Card (cost effective to get
  started)
• Not as fast as 802.11b/g, but no up front cost
• 40(20M), 60, 80, 120(unlimited) per month
• May not have signal at the center of a large
  warehouse.
• Scanner (Wireless Recommended)
• Bluetooth wireless scanner (or any other
  wireless)
• It can be a scanner with cable. But it is less
  flexible.

5
Bluetooth Wireless Scanner

• Bluetooth is another emerging standard. It
  offers Inexpensive hardware and very low power
  consumption. But it is limited by low band-width
  and short distance. It is Ideal for cable
  replacement solution.
• Metrologic MS9535 VoyagerBT
• Street Price 490
• Microvision Flic BlueTooth Scanner
• Street Price 200
• Just came out (it was not available three months
  ago)
• BaracodaPencil
• Its a wand and a stylus for PDA
• Watch for Symbols Scanner that Support BlueTooh.

Portable PC Configuration

• If you use Sprint Wireless Card
• You must use Terminal Service. Otherwise Elliott
  would be too slow.
• Firewall Terminal Server port need to open up.
• If you use 802.11b/g
• You can use traditional LAN setup to run Elliott.
• Elliott run on your portable PC
• However, we still recommend Terminal Services
• Elliott run on the Terminal Server
• The Portable PC run Terminal Client only
• Terminal Services require very little bandwidth
  and is much more reliable to run in the wireless
  environment.

10
An Example of Scanning Process

• Receiver places portable PC anywhere closed to
  the receiving goods.
• Receiver use the wireless scanner to scan the
  item barcode (UPC, or Mfg Item Numberetc.)
• The wireless scanner transmit the barcode value
  to portable PC (Bluetooth)
• The portable PC transmit the barcode value to
  Elliott application running on terminal server
  through yet another wireless connection (Sprint
  Wireless Card or 802.11b/g)
