TRUCK-TABLET INTERFACE

A process is provided for securing access to a materials handling vehicle. The process is carried out by coupling a tablet to a materials handling vehicle via a wired connection for communication via an open standard. The process also includes receiving a first device identification of the tablet over the wired connection via the first open standard, and storing the first device identification in memory. Also, the process includes wirelessly detecting a second device identification of the tablet. The process yet further includes communicably coupling the tablet to the materials handling vehicle via a wireless connection for communication via a second open standard where the second device identification matches the first device identification stored in the first memory.
