Interview with Dr. Andreas Müller, Director of Research and Development at Skeye, Höft & Wessel AG

  At the EuroShop we saw many applications for the new smartphones – including also some for store personnel use. Will MDE devices soon become obsolete? Not so, thinks Dr. Andreas Müller, because they are especially designed to withstand the harsh everyday life in retail and logistics. He also doesn’t believe that they will become smaller and smaller, because this would negatively impact their ease of handling. Retailers primarily use portable terminals with WLAN today. Höft & Wessel expects an increase in demand for equipment in tablet format.
