Introduction
The VC5090 vehicle-mounted mobile computer is a rugged device for use on heavy equipment, especially
forklifts. Designed for distribution centers, factory floors and warehouses, the VC5090 supports real-time
receiving, tracking, put-away, picking and shipping applications. Sealed to IP66 standards for protection
against dust and water and shock-tested, the VC5090 offers reliable performance in the most extreme
