We recently acquired a new device in the Quality Assurance Department. It's a scanner with the ability to utilize both terminal (IQRF) based and WMS PDA (WMSIQ) based scanning.

Our old devices were adequate, but as the IQMS manufacturing ERP software grows, we need to keep up with technology to test the new features. I like the idea of the all-in-one scanner. I don't know that many of our customers would use this exact device, but it's convenient to be able to test an option in IQRF or WMSIQ on the same device, plus now we only need to keep track of one scanner instead of two.

It simply takes too long to relay thoughts and emotions in a movie compared to a book. However, technology has granted us some incredible, realistic visuals, so now the story can be told in ways that were not possible before. But still, it is rare for me when a movie out does the book.
