Motorola Brings Out Voice-Directed Mobility Solution for Warehouses

Motorola, Inc. announced the development of the WT4090 Voice-only Wearable Terminal and the RCH50 Rugged Cabled Headset, a mobility solution specifically for warehouse workers.

According to Motorola, the WT4090 VOW is a hands-free, voice-directed, task-specific tool that offers wireless network connectivity, processing and voice capabilities. The device's voice features include support for voice-recognition, text-to-speech engines and Voice-over WLAN, providing warehouse workers with up-to-the minute information to make business critical decisions. The WT4090 VOW can be customized for business needs by its three fully programmable keys.

"Extending information to the point of activity delivers new efficiencies with voice communications," said Gerald McNerney, VP of mobile computing product management, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. "The hands-free, voice-directed WT4090 VOW and RCH50 offer warehouse workers support for voice-directed applications for increased productivity and streamlined operations. Meeting the industry's most stringent rugged standards, these solutions offer employees the competitive edge they need to do their jobs, even in the harshest and noisiest environments."

"We aim to provide our customers with convenient and efficient access to the products they need," said Peter Kok, director of supply chain, process development, Carter's. "The WT4090 VOW allows for real-time voice direction throughout our warehouse, ensuring that our employees maintain real-time communications throughout the day with a high level of efficiency and productivity so products can be distributed and available when and where needed for customer satisfaction."

The RCH50 is Motorola's cabled, lightweight headset that enables hands-free, voice-directed mobility solutions in rough environments. The acoustics resulting from the noise-cancelling, waterproof microphone enable real-time voice communications, reducing cycle times and errors while increasing productivity and throughput.

The WT4090 and RCH50 will be available globally in the first quarter of 2010 through Motorola sales and Motorola channel partners.
