How Heavy Duty Laptops Revolutionizing Transportation and Logistics Industry

The global transportation and logistics (T&L) industry is a challenging sector. Efficiency, accuracy and consistency need to be improved to unlock growth and profitability in this industry. Technology is changing the face of various industries and for T&L companies, digital fitness is an essential prerequisite for success. In this market, early adopters will win early advantages. This means mobilizing highly complex transportation and logistics tasks efficiently can help the companies to meet and outperform market expectations. Rugged, fully featured mobile technology offers the best solution to improve productivity, optimize processes and streamline mobile workflows, be it on-field and on-site.

Heavy duty laptops or rugged notebooks are sealed, secured, configured and designed to thrive in the most extreme working conditions, starting from the vibrations of a forklift to the pressure changes of an airplane. Military grade laptops are the best computing platform to manage transportation and logistics operations within the rail transport, road transport, air transport, maritime transport, warehouse and distribution and trucking sectors. Why heavy duty laptops are perfect for T&L operations?

• A heavy duty laptop or notebook has MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F standards certification that guarantees durability and electromagnetic compatibility levels, thus enabling it to withstand a wide range of extreme conditions.
• These devices are tested for resistance to water, dust, high and low temperatures, humidity, vibration, shock, drops, splashing and immersion.
• They have shock mounted hard drives, protective casing and feature appropriate IP ratings for specific environment and use.
• A heavy duty laptop also has RFIC reader, barcode scanner, smart card reader and fingerprint scanner.

Rugged laptop or notebook for transportation & logistics

• Air Travel: When professionals have mobile computing system with them at all times, then it can help avoid delays in air travel and air cargo transport. Rugged laptop or heavy duty notebook can withstand high altitude and temperature changes during air transit while providing best protection for your data, and guarantee against delays for cargo and passenger-related workflows.
• Rail Travel:Railroad workers need ruggedized mobile devices to make the complex logistics of railroad operations safer, simpler, and smoother. Whether railroad employees need precise GPS tracking, 4G LTE communication or sunlight-readable displays, a heavy duty notebook or laptop can fulfill the requirements of rail travel, regardless of weather.
• Freight Transport:In the freight transportation sector, communication needs to be rapid and real time. Rugged laptops or notebooks can provide secure wireless connectivity for real-time communication, with seamless integration between systems and real-time updates.
• Road Transport:Heavy duty laptops can be used in road transportation for a number of purposes such as route optimization, fleet management, computer-aided dispatch, GPS navigation and more.
• Warehouse & Distribution:Heavy duty laptops can help to keep warehouse clean, organized and efficient. It can lead to a more optimized operations by keeping a clearly labeled warehouse, fulfilling orders on time, decreasing picking and shipping times and communicating all information on real-time.

Heavy duty laptops or rugged notebooks enable new levels of efficiency, productivity and improved customer service in the T&L industry. So mobilize your complex, integrated operations efficiently with a heavy duty notebook or laptop, whether you are in the railroad, freight, train, warehouse or distribution sector.
