Mid-route, the technician set his CN3 on the bumper of his car—and drove away without realizing he had left it on the car. The mobile computer flew off the back of the vehicle and landed on the side of the road. Two weeks later, it was found by a county highway worker and returned to We Energies. Despite a few scratches, the mobile computer worked like new and all of the data was recovered. It was ready to be put back into the field immediately. “We were extremely impressed that the CN3 was still in one piece after sitting on the side of the road so long,” Ackerman said. “We knew then that we definitely made the right choice with Intermec and would get our money’s worth from this investment.” “ We were extremely impressed that the CN3 was still in one piece after sitting e on the side of the road so long.
