With Loc8.com software running on the Motion® F5v Tablet PC, field professionals benefit from anytime, anywhere access to the information needed to assess, maintain and repair assets, improving efficiency and productivity in the field. Designed for field applications, the ruggedised F5v Tablet PC includes key integrated features, such as RFID reader, cameras and barcode scanner, which compliment Loc8.com software and streamline the data capture process.

Andrew Maxwell, director, Loc8.com said, “This UK partnership builds on the strong relationship Loc8.com has developed with Motion in the Asia-Pacific region.

We look forward to repeating that success in the UK market.”
