JLT Atom-ic powered warehouse terminal

Rugged computing company JLT has released its new Atom-ic powered warehouse terminal developed specifically for forklifts. It features the latest in connectivity applications, multiple ports and will operate in high temperatures.

The vehicle-mounted JLT 1214 has built-in WLAN, dual-diversity Wi-Fi antennae, Bluetooth connectivity and an uninterruptible power supply. The device does not require added peripherals, so it can be plugged straight into the forklift power supply.

The device uses the new 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor to run all standard MS Windows programs and connects with all Windows-supported hardware through four USB ports and a RJ45 10/100-TP Ethernet connection.

Mark Muslek, managing director of JLT in the UK, says the JLT 1214 "exemplifies the JLT approach to rugged, user-friendly design in a device that is built to the highest quality".

"It replaces our fixed-mount 12042, but only in the forklift marketplace. The differences between the devices are the dual-diversity Wi-Fi antennae and the LED on top of the unit to attract drivers' attention in noisy environments."

Muslek says the device is freezer-ready, water jet-, humidity- and dust-proof. "It will operate at -30 degrees Celsius and up to 60 degrees Celsius.

"Because it is based on an existing model, which has years of design and usage behind it, we are sure that it will prove very reliable."

JLT Mobile Computers is a supplier of rugged full-screen mobile computers for use in the harshest environments and which are subjected to extreme physical use.
