RUGGED HANDHELD REQUIREMENTS AND PILOT WORKSHEET
Purpose: compare one exact handheld configuration against a defined job.
Use: complete one copy per candidate; use the same task and units for comparisons.
Evidence: attach model-specific manufacturer specifications and service terms.
This is a planning aid, not a product certification or universal pass threshold.

Reviewer / date / decision owner:
Task and application version:
Device model / SKU / OS / scan engine:
Battery / case / grip / cradle:

For each requirement record: essential or desirable; target; supplier evidence;
observed result; pass/fail/unresolved; owner and next action.

1. CAPTURE
Label type / dimensions (mm) / packaging / reading distance (cm):
Required records and acceptable error criteria:

2. ENVIRONMENT AND HANDLING
Working temperature range (degrees C), dust/water exposure, condensation:
Cleaning products and applicable manufacturer instructions:
IP rating and tested configuration:
Drop/tumble test method, height, surface, temperature, number of events:
Any required site-specific certification and responsible specialist:
Gloves, lighting, carrying arrangement, user feedback:

3. POWER AND CONTINUITY
Shift length (hours), charge windows, radio and screen settings:
Battery condition and start/end charge (%):
Approved battery replacement behavior and observed transaction persistence:
Coverage gaps / offline test / replacement-device process:

4. SUPPORT AND COST SCOPE
Written OS/security support end date and update entitlement:
Repair turnaround, spare availability and service owner:
Include chargers, batteries, cases, provisioning, training and repair costs.

5. PILOT
Baseline device/process and workload:
Workers and conditions represented:
Total label presentations / first-attempt reads / wrong-item accepts:
First-attempt read rate = first-attempt reads / presentations x 100.
If presentations is zero, record no test rather than a percentage.
Example only: 485 / 500 x 100 = 97%; a predefined 99% target is missed.
Transaction times, retries, corrections and unresolved records:
App restart / coverage loss / battery-change checks:

DECISION
Essential requirements all passed? Evidence locations:
Unresolved issues, owners and retest dates:
Approved configuration and conditions:
Revisit after changes to application, labels, environment or support policy.
