A new handheld application for something like this was recently
added. Check out the "hhfacility" component, and for background info
try searching the dev mailing list for that component name (ie
hhfacility).

Hi,
We have an opportunity to put ofbiz into a warehouse and I was
wondering if
anyone has done any work on integrating handheld wireless dos
terminals into
the system so that picker and stackers can input data as they work.
The particular terminal that I have in mind is a Symbol PDT 6146.
The reason
for choosing this model is that I can get them at reasonable prices
in used
condition. It is basically a DOS terminal with a laser barcode
reader and a
11g wireless and a serial port. It can also communicate via the
base station
for batch transfer, but the warehouse manage has had trouble with
batch
systems in the past, because the operators did not return the
handhelds to
their base stations often enough so the database got out of sync
with the
warehouse.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Andrew
