Wasp Cradle

The Wasp Cradle is a compact, rugged mobile computer cradle engineered to keep your handhelds charged and data in sync at the same time. In fast-paced retail, warehousing, field service, and hospitality environments, downtime costs money. This dock eliminates the need to juggle separate charging adapters and data cables by providing a seamless, all-in-one solution. Its synchronizing capability ensures that information captured at the point of interaction is transmitted to your host system instantly, so inventory levels, sales records, and service data stay up to date without delay. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Wasp Cradle streamlines operations, reduces cable clutter, and helps teams move more efficiently from dock to dock while maintaining device health and data integrity.

• Charge and synchronize at the same time: The Wasp Cradle offers dual-action functionality so your mobile computer can be powered and connected to your host system in a single step. This means real-time data transfer and immediate updates to your inventory, sales, or service records. With intelligent charging management, the cradle optimizes power delivery to prolong battery life while avoiding overheating, ensuring devices are ready for the next transaction or field task. The result is minimized downtime, faster checkout cycles, and a streamlined workflow for teams handling high volumes of transactions or data capture. By consolidating charging and data synchronization into one efficient dock, you reduce cable clutter, simplify training, and improve the overall accuracy of your data ecosystem.
• Rugged, ergonomic design built for busy environments: The Wasp Cradle features a robust housing and a stable, non-slip base designed to withstand daily use in retail floors, warehouses, and service fleets. Its ergonomic docking angle makes docking and undocking effortless for users who dock devices dozens of times per shift. The cradle is engineered to resist wear from routine handling, accidental bumps, and constant plugging and unplugging, keeping devices safe and secure during charging and syncing. With thoughtful cable management and discreet footprint, it fits neatly on a cashier counter, a workstation, or a vehicle dashboard, preserving valuable space while maintaining accessibility for quick device retrieval. The result is a dependable cradle that stays put under heavy usage while delivering consistent performance and a clean, professional look on every station.
• Easy deployment and maintenance for IT and store teams: Designed for quick setup, the Wasp Cradle minimizes installation time and training requirements. Its plug-and-play nature means you can connect power and data without complex software installations. Status indicators provide at-a-glance information about charging and sync activity, so teams know when a device is ready for use or needs attention. The cradle is designed with serviceability in mind—components are accessible for routine maintenance, and the dock supports hot-swapping of devices during busy shifts to keep operations moving without interruption. For multi-workstation deployments, scalable configurations let you add additional cradles as needs grow, without sacrificing performance or reliability. This approach helps IT teams manage large fleets with ease while delivering a consistent user experience across locations.
• Security, safety, and compliance features: The Wasp Cradle takes security seriously, offering a stable docking solution with durable construction and dependable locking options where applicable. Anti-tamper considerations and sturdy mounting options help protect devices and data in busy environments. Safety features like over-current protection, proper grounding, and thermal management contribute to a safer operating profile for long shifts and high-demand sessions. With reliable power delivery and robust data transfer, the cradle helps maintain compliance with standard POS and data capture workflows, ensuring that information is captured securely and transmitted accurately to your backend systems.
• Versatile applications and scalable deployment for diverse environments: Whether you run a bustling retail store, a busy warehouse, a hotel front desk, or a fleet of field technicians, the Wasp Cradle is designed to adapt to your use case. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for counter spaces or workstations, while its reliability supports continuous operation in high-volume environments. The cradle supports seamless integration with your existing hardware and software ecosystem, enabling quick deployment across multiple locations. As your operation grows, you can expand by adding more cradles to meet demand without sacrificing performance or data integrity, creating a scalable solution that evolves with your business needs.
