“Our rugged technology solutions are purposely designed to improve mobile workflows across targeted verticals,” said Patty Tang, Manager, Product Marketing at Motion. “With the CID2 certification, we can bring the many benefits of our F5te tablet and RFID Reader into new environments. The basic needs of workers in these environments are the same as those in our existing target verticals, so the transition is natural. We are confident these new end-users will embrace our technology and reap many productivity, safety and efficiency gains. ”
