Discover why rugged computers are essential for optimizing warehouse operations

The challenge in using rugged computers in a harsh environment such as a warehouse where it can get damp and dusty fairly quickly and the device can be exposed to severe vibrations, lower quality rugged vehicle-mount computers run the risk of breaking down faster, swiftly shortening their lifespan and durability. Fortunately, JLT has developed high quality computers that will last many years. We have spent 30 years developing and manufacturing rugged IT, and thus have an incredible amount of experience in not only the warehousing industry, but also in industries such as logistics and transportation.
