JLT Introduces Virtually Unbreakable Touch Screen and Boosts Performance of its JLT1214 Logistics Computer
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Reduces total cost of ownership and improves users' productivity by addressing
one of the most common reasons for computer failures
Växjö, Sweden, 23 September 2015 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, Swedish
developer and manufacturer of rugged computers for demanding environments, today
announced the JLT1214P, a new logistics computer which features revolutionary
Rugged Projective Capacitive Touch (PCT) display technology and additional
computing power compared to previous product generations. The JLT1214P
computer's bright 12-inch XGA display with the new JLT Rugged PCT technology
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 JLT1214P
computer also offers enhanced computing performance thanks to a 64-bit Intel
quad-core processor, improving responsiveness. In combination with the new user-
friendly touch screen, the higher performance speeds up tasks and increases
users' productivity. This powerful combination of features provides the best
possible total cost of ownership for logistics applications ranging from
warehousing and food distribution to freezer storage and cross-docking.
The JLT1214P computer is based on the company's JLT1214 platform which is
already well known in the market for its outstanding quality and reliability,
having been proved in thousands of installations by customers around the world.
Previous generations of rugged computers most commonly used resistive touch
screen technology that is chosen because of its usability with different types
of gloves and in wet conditions. In some demanding environments, however, the
resistive touch screen is susceptible to scratches and scuffs or even breakage
of its plastic screen, often making the screen the point of failure for the
computer. Resistive touch screens also do not offer the user experience that
operators have come to expect from the capacitive touch screens in their own
personal electronic devices. With the introduction of the JLT Rugged PCT
technology, the projective capacitive touch with superiorresilience to wear and
tear can be used in the same demanding use-cases as a resistive touch, for
example with different types of gloves and wet conditions.
The addition of the JLT Rugged PCT technology to the proven JLT1214 platform
provides the JLT1214P's touch screen with a lifetime as long as the computer
itself, minimizing disruptive down time, resulting in a higher service level and
greater customer satisfaction. A 1.8mm thick, practically unbreakable hardened
glass cover protects the touch sensor, offering unparalleled durability and
scratch resistance. In tests, it withstands a 500g steel ball dropped from a
height of 1.2m with no damage to the screen. Additionally, the JLT1214P computer
can operate in temperatures between -35 to +55 degrees Celsius, is dust and
water resistant to IP65 and its design eliminates the cavity between the glass
screen and the case, preventing dirt build up when in use and allowing it to be
easily sanitized for use in the food industry.
In today's logistics market, where productivity is more important than ever, the
JLT1214P computer's enhanced computing performance helps provide information
quickly and reliably, which combined with the improved touch screen usability
increases productivity in even the most advanced logistics applications. The
JLT1214P is faster than ever before, due to its new Intel E3845 quad-core
processor (code named Bay Trail), which can run full 64-bit systems, bringing
world class speed to fork lift computers and making it a future-proof platform
securing customer investments long-term. The JLT1214P computer comes with either
Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 or Windows Embedded versions. In the event of
a computer problem, JLT provides a "No Questions Asked" JLT:Care service
agreement which guarantees a high level of support and short repair times to
minimize down time at predictable cost.
The JLT1214P logistics computer also features an isolated 18-72 VDC power supply
for electrical vehicle installations, or an unisolated 9-36 VDC power supply for
other installations. A backup battery ensures uninterrupted operation during
power failures which enables reliable operation, even with unstable voltages
from automotive batteries. The JLT1214P 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, custom
made 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.
The JLT1214P computers are available today as an additional option to the
current JLT1214N computer that continues to be available with its current
configurations.
