The only rugged industrial computer on the market that will run Windows 7.x, 8.x, 10.x, WES7, Linux, Android, or Windows CE out of the box just got better. The 10.4″ LED Display has been joined by a 12.1″ version.
The 12.1″ LED 500 NIT display has 1000:1 contrast ratio and 178/178 viewing angle. And like it’s 10.4″ brother it includes multi-touch technology and allows for gloved operation. A 1000 NIT option is also planned.
When the concept of a forklift-mounted computer emerged, it was accompanied by a keyboard, separate battery and a better power conversion device specific to electric or propane, each of which had to be precisely and permanently integrated. Then, you had to manage, upgrade and optimize the operating systems. According to Ron D’Ambrosio, president and CEO of Glacier Computer, a single touchscreen terminal now houses all of these elements, but to address the hardware specs alone barely scratches the surface.
“The newest VMT technology is made to collect equipment and safety data from a vehicle management system, inventory and operational data from a warehouse management system, and any other PC-driven processes that the enterprise requires,” D’Ambrosio says. “Then it must not only disseminate that information, but provide the flexibility to orient the data to a variety of departments within the enterprise. This is the ‘Intelligent Forklift.’”
For over 15 years, Glacier Computer industrial hardware has been relied upon by many of the nations top companies spanning a wide array of industries and applications. Glacier forklift computers in particular provide mission critical 24/7 data transmission and retrieval in environments including warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, food production and transportation.
KODIAK FORKLIFT COMPUTERS
The new Kodiak forklift computer represents 15 years of real-world experience, engineering, and customer feedback. Boasting multiple display sizes, efficient processing power, and internal power supply and UPS, the Kodiak stands up against any competitive unit in the market. No other all-in-one device can readily run as many operating systems thus allowing for easy integration and forward migration into any customer’s computing environment. And, the Kodiak sets a new benchmark for price, making it the most cost effective forklift unit in the industry.
RUGGED TABLETS and RUGGED LAPTOPS
We also recognize the exponentially growing need for portability and the significant requirement for getting rugged computing in the hands of mobile workers. These include shop floor, field service, cross dock, warehouse, and manufacturing personnel. Glacier Computer can field any question you may have when it comes to tablet computers. We know the market, the choices and the options. We represent the best rugged tablet and rugged laptops ready to meet all of your portable data collection needs.
Glacier Computer announces the release of a new Rugged Android Tablet for the Industrial Marketplace.
Fusion 7 – Rugged Android Tablet
The Fusion 7 Rugged Android Tablet extends the Glacier Computer product line of rugged industrial PCs, rugged tablets, portable hand-held devices, and fixed mounted data collection computers. Glacier industrial computers are typically used in harsh industrial environments where a standard PC cannot survive. The Fusion 7 offers enterprise customers the additional advantages of the Android OS while remaining sealed and ruggedized.
The Fusion 7 is compact, light, and feature-rich. It enables businesses and their mobile users to add efficiencies throughout the operation while providing a capital asset with a significantly extended useful life and a superior ROI.
The Fusion 7 combines the advanced power management and memory management capabilities of Android enabling more than 1 million applications to run on the typically rugged Glacier device.
“The industrial marketplace is finally ready to accept the changes needed to embrace the value of the Android platform,” says Ron D’Ambrosio, President of Glacier Computer. “We have had a rugged Android computer for the last couple of years, but didn’t get enough feedback from our industrial customers to release the product. It is still somewhat early, but with the input of much larger market influences in the industry, customers seem to be more amenable to at least talking about using the Android OS as a solution.”
To further enhance the usefulness, and ease some of the pain of adapting to the new OS, Glacier is collaborating with complementary business partners including The Allen Group.
The Allen Group (Fairfield County, CT) provides application development and consultative expertise to assist companies seeking fulfillment for mobile content delivery objectives , corporate digital branding initiatives, and development workflow requirements. While The Allen Group enhances the mobile user’s capabilities, the Fusion 7 allows those mobile users to work in very harsh and/or ultra-clean environments.
