Ricoh G700SE | Rugged Camera | Tough Corp Australia

Overview

Tough Corp is introducing the new Ricoh G700SE water and dust resistant digital camera, which offers wireless data communication capabilities along with options that support GPS functions and laser barcode reader functions.

The new G700SE has wireless LAN and Bluetooth® functions as standard features and supports the use of GPS and laser barcode reader functions with options.

In addition to the ability to do wireless data transfer to external devices, by installing the internal-electronic-compass-equipped GPS unit (option), it is possible to add position and direction information, and by installing the laser barcode reader unit (option), it is possible to do rapid recognition of one-dimensional (linear) barcodes. These capabilities make the G700SE a powerful tool for a wide range of operations, including facility maintenance (electric, gas, and water utilities; roads; etc.), disaster planning, and other functions of local governments, police departments, and fire departments; photo management in hospitals; production line management in the manufacturing industry; and warehouse management in the transport industry.
