Truck driver Peter Björk was supposed to change to a newer tablet for this truck. Simultaneously, he suggested the previous mobile printer to be changed as well. “I was not fully happy about former mobile printer. I thought that we should always aim for better”, Peter reviews context for the changes. IT manager Per-Erik Finell supported it. Brother, for their part, assessed the conveyor chain requirements and presented a solution based on printing receipts directly at trucks. Requirements included that the holder of the mobile printer was able to be attached to the truck’s dashboard, changing rolls needed to be easy, printing speed fast and print quality good.
