Press Release 7/2016
JLT Mobile
Computers Selected by One of the Largest
Transportation Service Providers in the World
JLT completes
delivery of a significant number of JLT1214P forklift computers,
which marks a key milestone in ramping up JLT's USA operation and
indicates excellent market acceptance of the new
product
Växjö, Sweden, 30th August
2016 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a
leading developer and manufacturer of reliable computers for
demanding environments, has completed delivery of a significant
order won in March 2016 (see announcement from March 4) by one of
the largest transportation service providers in the world. The
order was for JLT1214P rugged forklift computers that will be
deployed in the customer cross-dock forklifts at sites around the
United States. The company selected JLT's rugged computing solution
despite fierce competition from established industry players. This
deal represents a key milestone for JLT's USA subsidiary,
established in December 2014, and indicates excellent market
acceptance of the JLT1214P computer.
"After opening the doors to JLT's USA office, the
organization has worked intensely on incorporating operations,
enterprise systems and processes with the Swedish organization
while maintaining business and building the momentum in the North
American market," said Eric Miller, CEO of JLT Mobile Computers.
Inc. "I'm excited about this order as it is a result of our efforts
and proof that our strategy to provide the best local and technical
customer support in the market is paying off."
JLT's customer has the largest, most comprehensive
transportation network in North America with local, regional,
national and international capabilities. The company offers
industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible
supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial,
commercial and retail goods with confidence. The JLT1214P computer
will be mounted on forklifts in the customer's cross-docks where
freight is moved from one trailer onto another.
The customer's selection of the JLT1214P computer
was based on a combination of its superior performance, including
processing power and WiFi connectivity, and JLT's ability to
customize the solution to the specific needs of the application.
For this particular order, the JLT1214P computer was customized to
make it capable of reliably interfacing with new and legacy
peripherals including forklift weight scale hardware, by adding a
5V power source to the RS-232 port. JLT provided custom cabling and
mounts for optimal installation, including a quick-connect power
cable which eases removal of the unit for servicing. JLT also
created a customer-specific Windows Embedded image that is
reliable, self-heals and is optimized for performance, along with a
custom BIOS toolset that allows the customer to fully utilize their
MDM solution software suite. This toolset ensures that device
querying and assignment can be fully automated, without the need
for user interaction.
The JLT1214P forklift computer was launched in
September 2015 and has quickly gained the trust of customers within
warehousing, cross-docking and other logistics applications around
the world. It features the JLT PowerTouch(TM) technology, a
revolutionary rugged Projective Capacitive Touch (PCT) display
technology that provides a familiar, user-friendly experience
comparable to modern consumer devices, both with a gloved or
ungloved hand, while ensuring ruggedness, reliability and longevity
in even the most demanding environments. The PowerTouch technology
is self-calibrating to adapt to different user-conditions, which
increases device up-time and reliability, while increasing user
productivity and lowering support costs.
This rugged logistics computer is designed with
state-of-the-art 64-bit Intel quad-core processor technology for
unparalleled speed and responsiveness, and it ensures multiple
use-cases on a single platform for streamlined support and
deployments. The JLT1214P computer also features dual-band 802.11ac
WLAN and Bluetooth EDR 4.0 capability, with both radios taking
advantage of JLT's built-in highly sensitive Planar Inverted-F
Antenna (PIFA) technology, designed for reliable wireless
connectivity in environments with poor coverage.
As with all JLT computers, the JLT1214P logistics
computer is built from the ground up to deliver maximum reliability
and function in very demanding environments. A high integration of
features and the most compact design in its class provide for fast,
reliable and inexpensive installation, even in small spaces.
