Honeywell International is joining with Aruba Networks, Inc. to offer wireless networking and mobile computing products to the retail, healthcare and logistics sectors. The global alliance calls for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility and Aruba to provide end-to-end wireless capability. It combines Aruba's wireless local area network (LAN) infrastructure and Honeywell's Dolphin 6000, 7000 and 9000 series of mobile computing devices for data collection, digital image capture and intelligent signature capture. The offering is intended to boost data-collection productivity and reduce operating costs, the partners said. For example, in a healthcare point-of-care environment, Aruba's wireless LANs and Honeywell's mobile computers can combine to simplify patient identification and bedside medication administration. The system ensures that patient information and electronic medical records are protected and meet compliance standards. In the retail sector, the joint offering enables on-floor wireless price checking and seamless mobile checkout.
