Encore Wire is a leading manufacturer of copper and aluminum residential, commercial, and industrial building wire. Over the past 29 years, they have grown from a 68,000 square foot warehouse building to over 2 million square feet that stretches across 425 acres. That is a lot of space to keep track of inventory! Encore Wire has been a customer of AML for 15 years, using our legacy M7220 Wireless Computers and our Triton Terminal Emulation devices. The Triton excelled in their environment and was appreciated for the easy set-up, ease of use, and basic functionality. Eventually, Encore Wire came to the decision that it was time to upgrade some of their operational procedures, including upgrading their business software to cloud-based. This decision led to a need for a different mobile computer with warehouse barcode scanning capabilities and access to a web browser.

The Scepter’s features have made a big impression, notably the large 5″ capacitive touchscreen, full alphanumeric keypad, and hot swap battery feature. The larger screen was able to show more information to their workers in the plant and the zoom capability is priceless. The Scepter Enterprise Mobile Computer is a reliable, rugged computer designed for all-day, everyday use in warehousing and distribution centers. “Forklifts don’t run on carpeted floors, so when a device is dropped it has to be able to bounce right back, so to speak!” says Don Spence, Sr. System Administrator for Encore Wire.
