All-Touch Terminal Emulation

Some companies worry about switching to touch mobile computers because they currently use “green screen” terminal apps on their industrial handheld mobile computers, and they’re concerned that they won’t be able to use those apps on touch devices. But touch mobile computers can run and actually optimize your terminal apps through terminal emulation. A good example is the All-Touch Terminal Emulation solution that comes with touch mobile computers from our technology partners at Zebra Technologies. Zebra’s terminal emulation allows you to quickly convert your terminal “green screen” apps into beautiful all-touch mobile apps and run them on touch screen devices, all without any coding or host modification. Zebra’s All-Touch TE provides software wizards that walk you through the whole process, and you can convert each of your green screens to a modern, touch-enabled and optimized screen in as little as seconds. Instead of having to use function keys and a physical keypad to enter data or navigate your screens, you can easily configure everything to work using on screen buttons and a customized, virtual, on-screen keyboard. With TE, your apps will look like entirely new, professional, and modern mobile apps. But they’ll still have the same functions and capabilities, and they’ll still connect with and transmit data to your systems. They’ll be much easier to learn and use, and workers will be able to complete tasks faster and more accurately, thanks to a much simpler and more user-friendly interface.

... With TE, your apps will look like entirely new, professional, and modern mobile apps. “
