In a sense, domestic data collectors will be cheaper than imported data collectors, but this does not mean that domestic data collectors are second than imported ones. Industrial handheld terminals are electronic products. Which is better, domestic data collector or imported data collector? It is a long-term project implementation and selection for an enterprise. With the change of the times and the progress of technology, more and more industries begin to pay attention to the huge profit space brought by information and intelligence. For the choice of industrial data collector, different industries, different enterprises have different opinions.

Since the mid-20th century, it has been 44 years since the world's first handheld data collector came out in 1969. Along with the development of bar code technology, handheld data collectors are gradually being widely used abroad. From the beginning, Wal-Mart used it in retail to expand into military, logistics, warehousing, medical and product traceability. In the past ten years, bar code technology has made rapid development in China. It began to move from the use of low-level commodity bar codes to the use of higher levels of food safety management, intelligent warehousing, and supply chain management. As one of the top ten important technologies in the 21st century, RFID has also begun to be widely used in manufacturing, public safety, logistics management and other fields. Together with barcode technology, it promotes the development of industrial informatization and intelligence.

Bar code technology and RFID application are inseparable from the data collector. Faced with the choice of data collector, most salespeople have fallen into the confusion of choosing domestic or foreign brands. Choice of handheld data collector for domestic and imported. More than 40 CIOs from different industries expressed their opinions. Below are the different views of the two camps.

Views in favor of foreign imports

1, foreign brands are old, technology is more naive

Foreign brands such as honeywell Yimaiteng have been involved in the R & D and manufacturing of industrial handheld terminals for a long time. At the same time, they have many customers of the world's top 500 enterprises. The industry has a good reputation and great influence. From the beginning of the 20th century, these foreign brands began to enter China and quickly occupied a huge domestic market share. Therefore, with the advantages of its own products and technology, China has won good feedback. When it comes to these old foreign brands, basically all the members participating in the discussion have a positive attitude towards the childishness and stability of their products.

CIO point of view: on the one hand, it is an international well-known brand enterprise that has grown up under the environment of obvious technological advantages, and on the other hand, it is a domestic brand that has only developed in the past decade. There are obvious differences in the degree of brand childishness.

2, foreign brands have a lot of implementation agents, can help enterprises to clarify their business needs

Many CIOs believe that foreign well-known brands have many implementation agents in China, unlike many domestic brands that implement them on their own. The former is easier to clarify the needs of customers from the perspective of a third party.

CIO point of view: the third party implementation can not only solve the problem objectively, but also give guidance to the manufacturer.

3, can provide more perfect supporting solutions for enterprise customers

Many well-known foreign brands in the sale of hardware facilities at the same time will provide customers with a complete set of solutions. For customers to lift a lot of process implementation problems encountered.

CIO's point of view: Provide customers with a leapfrog management experience that solves all problems at once.

Support for domestic views

1. More and more domestic brands focus on technology research and development

Although inland enterprises have been established one after another in the past ten years, they have made technological investment and innovation in the original barcode and RFID technology from time to time. As a very representative domestic brand, Youboxun has only grown for a few years compared with foreign brands such as Zebra, but it has driven the development of mobile information in the domestic express industry, and its products have been well received.

CIO point of view: technically, no one is always the first, honor belongs to the innovator. Examples of "coming from behind" can be found in all industries.

2, their own commitment to the formulation and implementation of the project, better play the service function

Faced with the needs of corporate customers, many domestic brands have realized that they provide not only products, but also services. Compared with foreign implementation agents, domestic self-implementation can respond to customer needs in the first place. Provide timely pre-sale, in-sale and after-sale services.

CIO point of view: domestic self-implementation, self-undertaking project formulation is more suitable for the enterprise's own needs, the degree of localization is high.

3 Local enterprises begin to provide integrated solutions

Although most domestic handheld device providers are still stuck in providing a single hardware device, companies such as Uboxun already have their own mobile application solutions in different industries. For example, Youboxun's express delivery treasure "has become a standardized solution for the logistics express industry. Compared with foreign countries, domestic customization is stronger and more suitable for the development needs of enterprises themselves.

CIO point of view: a very simple truth, a solution can not be used for all enterprise needs. For example, the solutions honeywell used in the world's top 500 companies are not necessarily suitable for most small and medium-sized enterprises. Customized is scientific and reasonable

4, low interest, low investment.

The prices of well-known foreign brands need not say much about the cost performance that enterprises also care about, but in the comparison of equipment performance, the indicators are nothing more than those: system, CPU protection level, appearance design, communication mode, power supply. Facts have proved that these indicators of domestic equipment and imported equipment are almost difficult to find out who is good and who is bad. There is no obvious boundary.

CIO point of view: rich enterprises can certainly choose to spend money to buy an imported goods, after all, no one will be fired by the boss for buying IBM products. However, considering the cost performance, the domestic industrial data collector is still very advantageous.

How to choose an industrial data collector?

Hongxing Yongli barcode thought: whether it is to choose domestic or imported equipment, users have their own reasons and business needs. So how do you choose?

First of all, the company needs to consider the current situation of their own enterprises, as well as subsequent planning, internal staff configuration and other factors to compare products, and secondly, from the adaptability of products, flexibility, budget and other aspects to weigh, rational enterprise purchase. In a word, it is the most important to choose the products suitable for the current situation of the enterprise in combination with the strategic development of the enterprise.
