All-touch Terminal Emulation (TE)
PAINLESSLY MIGRATE YOUR TE APPS TO ANDROID
With the retirement of Microsoft’s mobile operating system and the rise of Android in the business world, you’re ready to migrate to Android mobile computers in your warehouse or manufacturing plant. But migrating the Terminal Emulation (TE) apps that are at the core of your operations has been a daunting, time-consuming, costly and complex challenge — until now. Introducing All-touch Terminal Emulation (TE), powered by Wavelink Velocity. All-touch TE provides a powerful-yet-simple three-phase path that allows you to easily define and execute the migration strategy that’s right for your organization — and your workforce. Start by instantly migrating your Warehouse Management System (WMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or other TE app in minutes to your Zebra mobile devices — right out of the box, no host modification required. Then, you can easily enhance your TE apps to improve workforce productivity by leveraging the features of Android and your Zebra Android mobile devices to simplify interaction with your TE “green screens”. When you’re ready to enhance your TE apps with a modern Android interface, All-touch TE’s advanced features heavily automate the process, making full modernization as fast, easy and cost-effective as possible. The result? Your warehouse apps are now as easy to interact with as the all-touch apps on consumer devices, boosting worker productivity and virtually eliminating training. All-touch TE — TE migration to Android made simple.
Automatic screen conversion — no coding or host modification required
Just turn on your Zebra mobile computer, open the All-touch TE application and log on to your WMS or other host application to automatically convert your green screens into elegant touchscreens.
Flexible soft keyboards
The wide array of keyboards allows you to simplify data entry for every field. You can allow workers to select a keyboard with a single press of an onscreen icon or you can create and automatically present a customized keyboard for a specific field. And on smaller devices, you can provide users with larger easy-to-use keys by placing a translucent keyboard over the application screen. The result? No matter what type of data is in a field, or how small a device may be, you can make data entry as easy as possible.
Easily add photos with content injection
Today, your green screens provide textual information only. With All-touch TE, instead of presenting workers with a part number, you can easily add a photo of the product as well, dramatically improving speed and accuracy in picking, put away and other crucial tasks. The right items are shipped, reducing the cost and number of returns. And workers can complete more work orders per day.
Automatic screen sizing for every mobile device
It doesn’t matter whether your workers are using Zebra’s handheld or vehicle mount mobile computers or tablets. All-touch TE automatically adjusts screen size and layout to take advantage of the available display space on every device in your business today — and tomorrow.
Custom style sheets
With style sheets, it’s easy to align the look of your TE application with your company style guide. Create one style sheet and apply your fonts, colors and logo to all of your
application screens.
Securely connect to two TE apps — simultaneously
With dual SSH Certificate key support, you can securely connect to two hosts at the same time, allowing your workers to easily navigate between different systems for different tasks — without constantly logging on and off. Session persistence over any network Regardless of whether your workers are connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network, your TE apps remain active and your users remain productive — even if the wireless connection is lost or the mobile computer reboots or enters sleep mode.

The warehouse industry is changing, are your legacy devices allowing you to keep pace?
Legacy mobile devices

Downtime
- Slower task completion
- Less intuitive, green screen push-button devices
- Battery change prompts cold reboot that creates downtime, lost productivity
- Lack of replacement parts leads to retired devices and slower operations
Hamper training efforts
Longer training cycles due to a slow, unfamiliar interface and cumbersome navigation costs valuable time.
