Hardware

PC's and Servers

When you are ready to upgrade your computer system, DataWeld can provide you with the complete solution to fit your needs. PC's and servers from leading companies such as Dell can be packaged with DataWeld's CylTech II business management software to provide you with one stop shopping for your computing needs.

Regardless of the configuration you install, you can be assured that you will have nationwide on-site support for your hardware should you ever need it. You first call is always to DataWeld where your assigned support representative will help determine whether the problem is hardware or software. In many cases the problem can be resolved without ever dispatching an engineer. If an on-site visit from a field engineer is required to solve your problem, one will be dispatched and your DataWeld support representative works with the engineer until your problem is 100% resolved.

Handheld Computers

DataWeld offers two families of computers depending upon your unique requirements. Both handheld computers are ruggedized and both are proven in field use. The handheld you ultimately choose to install will depend upon your application, your current as well as future requirements and your environment. A complete analysis of your needs will help to identify which handheld is best solution for you.
