Best rugged warehouse computers

The best warehouse computers: which device is right for you?

In today’s fast-paced markets, it is crucial to pick the rugged device that best fits your company’s needs. What the best warehouse computers are for your company is dependent on several factors, including computing power, operating system, and ruggedness. We’ll help you pinpoint the best fit for your specific needs.

Why are warehouses so dependent on rugged devices?

Warehouses are full of activity, and in warehousing, every second counts towards achieving maximum efficiency and accuracy. Downtime is devastating, as rugged devices collect, analyze and report crucial data continuously. Think of barcode scanning, order tracking and monitoring inventory statuses, all of which depend on the use of warehouse computers.

This is what makes JLT rugged computers stand out

While there are plenty of solutions available to make working with so much throughput somewhat doable, the warehousing industry holds another challenge: a harsh and difficult environment, one with extreme temperatures, for example in a freezer storage, and poor connectivity. And this is exactly where our rugged computers stand out. Firstly, the temperatures between which a rugged computer can operate is much broader, with devices working just fine in temperatures ranging from -20°C up to an incredible 60°C. Additionally, humidity, condensation, dust and water are no problem for our rugged computers: the IP65 rating guarantees that the device is dust tight and protected against water damage.
And last but certainly not least: the warehouse computers we have are also able to withstand vibrations and shock. For example, instead of the common, low-cost ribbon cable or flex cable, we use board-to-board connectors. These have been proven to be resistant to shock and vibration from vehicles even after long time use, significantly improving the reliability of your warehouse computers and lowering the cost of ownership of your devices. The best warehouse computers can handle whatever you throw at it. Durability through and through!

Introducing JLT’s best warehouse computer: JLT6012

One of our best warehouse computers is our newest JLT6012 series, consisting of a Windows® (JLT6012) and Android® version (JLT6012A).

Their key features include an IP65 waterproof and dustproof rating, a virtually unbreakable, hardened glass display that works even when wearing gloves, and the ability to withstand shock and vibrations.

The JLT6012 is available with storage up to 480GB, and the JLT6012A comes with 64GB of internal storage and an upgradable external storage of up to 2TB. Both devices have a capacitive 12” touch screen and light sensors for adjustable auto-dimming. Their state-of-the-art wireless technology ensures you stay connected to the internet even in the most demanding conditions.

A warehouse computer test: how we engineer our devices

We test all our rugged devices in our own testing center, built especially to mimic the everyday warehousing environment. Here, we put both new and existing devices to the test by having them go through the harshest conditions possible. A warehouse computer test includes exposing the computer to shock and vibrations to see if the device survives. We also test the ruggedness of our warehouse computers by subjecting them to extreme temperatures and rapid changes in temperature to see how well they hold up. And we test out new components and new designs to continuously improve our products. This way, we can guarantee our rugged computers are always among the best computers for warehouse use.
