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, 30(th) 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.
