Is There a ‘Wolf’ Feeding On Your Warehouse?

wolf-stareYou’ve heard the story. Big wolf. Little pigs. Three houses. Guess what? They were Warehouses for bricks, lumber, and yes—straw. The big bad wolf? That was inefficiency eating away at the bottom line.

It was becoming a serious problem.

They’d each taken it on the chinny-chin-chin and were huffing and puffing about improving profits. A much-needed equipment upgrade to go with their Warehouse Management System could do the trick. But what sort of mobile wireless solutions would help them optimize their bottom line and kick the wolf to the curb?

As one of the leaders in the industry, Glacier Computer has spent nearly two decades helping customers build some of the best solutions on the planet. Our forklift mounted computers, rugged tablets, industrial tablet PCs scanners and software solutions are increasing efficiency across an array of industries.

Even after the initial installation, your investment in a Glacier industrial computer system will provide dependability and versatility for years to come; the average life of a Glacier Computer industrial tablet PC is over 5.5 years with manufacturing repairs of less than 4%.

And if we don’t have it, we’ll either create it or source it for you!

If you’ve got a Big Bad Wolf we’ve got his number. And now you’ve got ours. 603.882.1560. Or email us at Sales@glaciercomputer.com, and live happily ever after.

The Siren Song of Lift-Mounted ‘Rugged’ Tablets

Male worker operating forklift in warehouse

In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous yet beautiful creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In Tablet Mythology the iPad revolution lured warehouse managers and IT specialists toward an emerging rogues gallery of “rugged” tablets as a ‘more affordable’ next-gen productivity solution. But lifts by their very nature produce a set of operating conditions that tablets are not designed to withstand…for very long.

Honeywell did us all a favor by articulating this problem in detail. The sub-heading of their piece says it all. “Why Tablets and Purpose Built Forklift-Mounted Computers Are Not Interchangeable.

Create Time By Upgrading Your Computers

SAVE TIME WITH INDUSTRIAL GRADE COMPUTERS!

Why are your employees losing valuable time at work? Is it because the computer they have to use is sitting on a desk on the other side of the warehouse?

industrial tabletsJust like smartphones, tablets are fragile and very susceptible to breaks. For this reason, Glacier Computers has made it a point to make the best industrial tablets for use in a warehouse, a job site or for personal reasons; it’s up to you! But what would make you want to buy an industrial tablet at all? Well, if you’re rough with tablets, it’s not uncommon for them to break, which leads us into today’s focus: The most common ways tablets are destroyed. But first, catch up by reading some previous posts that explained the first four ways to ruin your tablet.

10 Easy Ways to Completely Ruin Your Not-So-Tough Tablet

  1. Leaving it running…all the time. Look, we understand that it can seem scary to shut off a device that you use all of the time, but it’s important to let your device rest, just like yourself. Our tablets work, and work, and work and work some more! In fact, many of us use tablets more than our desktop computers, so it makes sense to leave them on all of the time, right? Wrong! Let your tablet rest, even your industrial tablet. Not letting them get some much need power rejuvenation can cause your tablet to perform slower.
  1. SIM card lock botch. Let’s face it, everyone loves privacy, but there is no need to lock the SIM card on your device, especially if you’re using a tablet for industrial purposes. In fact, a SIM card that has been botched is completely useless, which in turn makes your device useless. Yes, you can replace the SIM in your tablet, but it won’t be able to function without it.

Can Dust Cause Damage To Technology?

Contrary to popular belief, dust can cause you a litany of problems if it surrounds your electronic components. In our previous post, we explained how dust damages your tough tablet PC, which is just one more reason to purchase an industrial tablet that can handle dust particles like a champ. So, why is dust rough on technology?

Several reasons why dust is bad for technology:kodiak industrial tablet

  1. Dust removes connections. While this isn’t the case all of the time, dust is a culprit of causing shorts and poor contact in switches, connectors and relays. With poor connections, information can get to where it needs to go, leaving you with a useless electronic component.
  2. Dust can cause arcing in much higher voltage applications. Earlier, we mentioned that dust can cause your device to overheat. Because dust insulates, there’s a chance that if your electronic component, such as a tablet, is dusty, it may overheat. Overheating can cause your device to arc which is just another way of saying that it is useless.
  3. Dust can cause your industrial strength tablet to become more difficult to use and even service. It’s important to keep your electronic devices in good shape in case of a service. If your device is overpopulated with dust, it becomes a bit trickier to repair. Plus, have you ever tried using a dusty touchscreen? It feels almost impossible.

Are you convinced?

Have we convinced you to think about purchasing an industrial tablet that can handle all of the dust in the environment you work in? We welcome you to check out all our industrial-strength, dust-proof tablets today! Contact us if you have any questions.
