What Stays the Same for Levata Customers?

Customers can continue to purchase the same established data capture technologies through Levata as the portfolio transitions to the Brady brand. The capabilities that businesses depend on remain central to Brady IPS, including:

• Rugged mobile computing for frontline and field workflows
• Barcode scanning and data capture for fast, accurate operational transactions
• Mobile and industrial printing for labels, receipts and workflow documentation

• Online searches and product pages. Customers may see both legacy Honeywell terminology and new Brady terminology during the transition.
• Support and warranty pathways. Levata will help customers identify the correct route for their products and agreements.
