Motorola Solutions Inc. touts its 9190-G mobile computer as a "workhorse" for distribution operations.

Part of the reason why the device deserves the workhorse title is that it can come with different types of scan engines, including Motorola's new long-range imager, the SE4600. When equipped with the long-range scanner, the handheld computer allows a forklift driver to scan objects while still on the vehicle, said Mike Maris, senior director transportation, distribution, and logistics at Motorola Solutions.

The 9190-G comes with a Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 operating system.
