The Glacier GX Series of forklift computers are PC-compatible devices specifically designed for harsh environments. The GX 1000 and GX 1200 are all-in-one computers with no fans or vents. Running Pentium class processors, these devices are equipped with hard drives, wireless Ethernet, an internal UPS, Bluetooth, and Windows operating system. Designed to be mounted on electric and propane vehicles, the Glacier units are used in warehousing, shop floor, and freight applications. Available color LCD displays sizes are 10.4, 12.1, and 15.0. All units come with rugged 5-wire resistive touchscreens!
Markets and Applications:
Common Glacier markets include freight, warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing / shop floor, and human resource kiosk. Units are traditionally mounted on forklifts, both sit down and upright, but are also commonly used at dock doors, factory floor machines, and on portable carts. Glacier customers deploy an array of data collection, ERP, and materials management software applications on the units. These include both 3rd party software packages as well as "home grown". Efficiency and accuracy gains are realized in cross dock, manufacturing data collection, as well as picking and putaway. All Glacier units integrate seamlessly with the corporate IT network and appear as another client on the network. Often users utilize the corporate intranet to update inventory and order status in real time.
