PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Rhino II/SH Blackline vehicle mount computers, available 10", 12", 15" and 21" dis-
play sizes, set the standard for ruggedness in the warehouse. A sealed design tested to
IP65/IP67 ensures operation in the toughest environments. A dedicated freezer-rated
model with integrated display heater allows use in and out of cold storage (not available
for the 21" display size models). The capacitive touch models feature 3 mm anti-glare
armored glass, while still allowing use of gloves.
Tailored for warehouse management, the Rhino vehicle computer increases productiv-
ity through reduced errors during receiving, putaway, picking and shipping activities.
Adding a handheld barcode scanner such as Datalogic’s PowerScan™ allows for quick
data entry and location confirmations.
The Rhino vehicle computer is equipped with an internal isolated power supply, ignition
sense to automatically control the power, and an optional battery backup for the ulti-
mate protection against data loss. The Rhino vehicle computer fits different mounting
and space constraints. Mounting options include various brackets and RAM mounts for
the vehicle computer along with ABCD or QWERTY external keyboards. A dedicated
software keyboard includes a multitude of layouts and languages, adapting the Rhino
computer to a minimum footprint and global applications.
The Rhino II/SH Blackline offers a choice of Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7) or
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (W10) operating systems. Included are Wavelink Avalanche
and Terminal Emulator. On W10 models the Datalogic Aladdin installer also is pre-
loaded.
