Into the Cold: Cold Storage Mobile Computers
Warm garments are essential for warehouse workers to perform daily operations in the cold, the same goes for mobile computers. Mobile computers must be built to perform under these demanding condition.
Moving a standard mobile computer in and out between normal and cold areas is extremely hard on the device even if it’s ruggedized. Short term: the LCD screen fogs up, batteries won’t release enough energy and processors may not perform optimally. Long term: Screens and housing will become brittle and repeated condensation can cause internal components to corrode, short-circuit, and fail.
If you work in an environment that is typically exposed to cold temperatures, consider the devices below:
Motorola‘s Omnii XT15f Mobile Computer
- Lorax Scanner
- 1/2D options
- 11 a/b/g
- Bluetooth
- Windows CE 6.0
- Condensation Resistant Chiller Model is built for -4º F / -20º C
- Condensation Free Arctic Model is built for -22º F / -30º C
- Screen defroster option
Honeywell’s CK75 Cold Storage Mobile Computer
- Cold storage
- Windows or Android OS option
- Standard or extended range scanner
- 11 a/b/g/n
- 2D scanner (scans both 1D and 2D)
- Standard Unit is built for -4º F / -20º C
- Cold Storage Unit is built for -22º F / -30º C
Thriving in cold conditions requires the ability to adapt to the environment. Being prepared with the right resources and equipment can lower operating costs by increasing productivity and decrease equipment down time.
