Cipherlab Australia spoke to a Director of STL Warehousing - John Hogg and asked him for his feedback on Cipherlab and their products.

What applications do you use the 8570s for? "We use them for inventory control, Picking, receiving, dispatching, re-cycling, put a-way and replenishing of stock."

How do you interface the units to your back end? "With Terminal Emulation."

Why did you choose the 8570 Cipherlab Terminals? "Basically Cipherlab understood my needs and gave me fantastic service. I spoke to a number of other suppliers and found the service and support did not match Cipherlab's so we stuck with Cipherlab".

What are some of the best features that you like about the 8570s? "We like the robustness of the units. They get well used and roughed up and that does not seem to bother them. They also have a great screen size and we like the flexibility of being able to order the terminals with or without the pistol grips".

The units have been in operation since 1st Nov 2006. Have you found them reliable? "Yes definitely."
