The universal multifunction data collection terminals of Proton PMC-2160 and PMC-8100 intended for different business processes: goods acceptance, collecting and packaging, replenishment action, management of the price, inventory and also asset management. The shipping documentation can be applied not only in retail outlets, but also in warehouses, distribution centers and production.
Let's compare these two models on operational qualities
The appearance of these terminals significantly differs
The data collection terminal of Proton PMC-8100 - has more extended, thin and easy body which is made narrower to a bottom that significantly increases convenience of work with the terminal during long time. The keyboard of the terminal is organized in a wave form that considerably increases convenience of using and speed of a data set.
Operating system
PMC-2160 operating system - Windows CE 6.0 Core not strongly differs from the operating system of Windows Embedded CE NET 6.0 installed on PMC-8100. You receive already known user-friendly interface which allows to get used without excess waste of time to work with this device.
Load time of the commodity reference book (30,000 goods)
Wireless interfaces WiFi, Bluetooth II and wire USB 2.0 allow to load and unload quickly from terminals impressive amounts of data.
Durability
Proton PMC-8100 is the strongest model among Proton terminals and fights for the place with the most security terminals competitors. The shipping documentation maintains falling from height of 1.8 meters and has degree of security of IP65 that ensures safety of work practically in any environmental conditions.
Proton PMC-2160 practically does not concede PMC-8100 in durability, maintains falling from height of 1.5 m on a concrete floor, has a heat - moisture security of IP64, operating temperature range from -10 °C to +50 °C.
Laser scanner
Terminal scanning speed directly depends on the built-in laser scanner of a barcode which ensures fast smooth operation on reading of information.
Proton PMC-8100 and PMC-2160 guarantee fast and faultless reading of all types of linear barcodes: EAN, Code 128, Code39, ITF, UPC, etc.
Amount of memory
Proton PMC-8100 and PMC-2160 have identical amount of memory: 128MB RAM and 128MB ROM. It allows to load the reference books containing 200,000 goods items.

Display resolution
Shipping documentations are equipped with touch color screens with the resolution of 240x320 QVGA, 65.536 flowers, LED illumination that is very convenient when using the terminal in the dark premises.
PMC-2160 has more with a wide diagonal of 3.5 inches, PMC-8100 diagonal - 2.8 inches, but is not less convenient in use.

Ready-made solutions for business
Inventory
Automation of process of inventory using the special software product "Goods: Inventory" and mobile terminals of data collection of PMC-2160 and PMC-8100. Using such solution your specialists will need only to read out barcodes and to unload ready reports.
Using these terminals, you can carry out inventory in several ways, from the simplest (without loading of the commodity reference book), before complete audit (with identification of storage locations of goods, with loading of the commodity reference book and information on a remaining balance from the accounting system).
Selection of the order and acceptance of goods
The problems connected with acceptance of goods and selection of the order can be easily solved to purchase Enough using data collection terminals of PMC-2160 and PMC-8100 a data collection terminal with the solution set on it "Goods: Selection of the order" or "Goods: Acceptance of goods". Such solution will allow to get rid of errors and to reduce order processing time and goods acceptances on outlet. At the same time all inventory control can be kept in simple Excel table. Moreover, if at the supplier the prices of goods changed, the employee accepting products will always be notified on it.
Revaluation, marking and printing of price labels
If to set on data collection terminals of PMC-2160 and PMC-8100 "Goods: Mobile marking", you will be able to perform initial marking of goods, to print labels with the changed prices for goods directly in a trading floor, to print cardboard price labels for shelves, considerably saving at the same time time of employees!
To mark products, as well as to print price labels it is possible if you have one of our data collection terminals, the software of "Goods" and a mobile thermal printer for printing of labels or price labels.
Marking
Let's provide situation No. 1: the batch comes to outlet or a warehouse, on the packed goods there is only one label with a barcode, but it is necessary for you that such labels were present at each commodity unit. It is very simple to perform such transaction if you have a data collection terminal of PMC-2160 or PMC-8100, the software of Goods and the mobile printer of labels: scan the label with a barcode, specify the necessary number of such labels in the menu of a data collection terminal, print labels using the mobile printer, paste labels on goods.
Let's provide situation No. 2: As a result of inventory in a warehouse the goods without label were detected, using the shipping documentation it is possible to correct such problem easily: we find this position in the list uploaded on the shipping documentation, we open a goods card, we print the label.
Goods revaluation / Printing of price labels on shelves
The terminal needs to be read out a barcode from goods. If the price for these goods changed or in a card of goods the sign of printing is set, then the mobile printer on command from the terminal right there will print the new price label.
Work with 'the Unified State Automated Information System''''
Since January 1 the Unified State Automated Information System system for collecting of the reporting in the field of trade in alcoholic products was introduced. Now all data on the movement of alcoholic products should be registered in it.
Barcodes of any alcoholic products are read out using data collection terminals with 2D scanners, the newest modifications of the shipping documentation perfectly are suitable for these tasks: Proton PMC-2260 and Proton PMC-8200.
The only technical difference from PMC-2160 and PMC-8100 is the built-in 2D image the scanner which guarantees fast and faultless reading of all types of linear barcodes and also combined (PDF417) and 2D - codes.
