[May 21, 2013] World Vision International deploys Intermec CN50 handheld mobile computers Tweet May 21, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Intermec, Inc., a supplier of automated identification and data capture equipment, has announced that World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian organization, has deployed the Intermec CN50 handheld mobile computers for use in aid distribution efforts around the globe. Paired with World Vision's "Last Mile Mobile Solutions" (LMMS) software system, the CN50 has reportedly helped World Vision achieve up to 90% in improved time savings for in-field operations. Previously using manual systems, LMMS and the Intermec CN50 are now utilized to scan beneficiary ID cards for aid distribution in countries across the world. Once IDs are scanned, World Vision is able to develop a master list of all beneficiaries and track exactly what items they received and in what quantity - in real time. Jay Narhan, team leader of applied technology & product development at World Vision International, said: "Technology is not going to eradicate the underlying cause of human suffering and poverty, but it is an enabler for us to conduct operations more effectively. The cameras on the Intermec CN50s have allowed us to better verify our beneficiaries, and paired with the long battery life as well as the ruggedness of the actual devices themselves, the CN50 provided everything we needed in one convenient solution." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
