Vehicle mount terminals for port operations

JLT Mobile Computers, a leading developer of reliable computing solutions for demanding environments, is presenting an upgraded version of its powerful and versatile JLT6012 vehicle-mount terminal at TOC Europe 13-15 June in Rotterdam, The Netherlands – the Annual General Meeting for port and cargo supply chain professionals.

With its vehicle-mount terminals seeing day-to-day use in leading port operations around the world, the upgraded JLT6012 terminal leverages JLT Mobile Computers’ extensive global domain expertise and incorporates essential features that address many of the current and future operational and profitability requirements at these important sites.

According to Peter Lundgren, port segment manager EMEA at JLT Mobile Computers, “The new JLT6012 vehicle-mount terminal has been designed with port managers’ pressing operational needs in mind; and not just the challenges they are facing today, but those that they will see in the future too. In port operations, vehicle-mount terminals offer far superior operational equipment effectiveness (OEE) and total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to other mobile IT solutions, which is why we invest significant time, money, and effort into their further research and development, with the JLT6012 terminal being a perfect result.

“In modern, digitally transformed supply chains, complete uninterrupted connectivity is essential,” he continues, “which is why our new vehicle-mount terminals are also available with WWAN/5G capabilities. Because all traffic is encrypted, port customers can deploy bespoke-, local- or public-infrastructure cloud solutions, with the confidence that their information remains secure.”

The JLT6012 terminal incorporates a Projective Capacitive Touch (PCT) JLT PowerTouch screen. This screen technology is a core element of the JLT6012 product, delivering device longevity with an almost indestructible touchscreen operator interface without sacrificing user input capabilities – even with gloves on. An auto-dimmable high-bright display with great contrast, and high performance, make the computer very responsive and give the user an experience second to none.

“The markets we serve are changing constantly,” explains Lundgren. “New technology, tighter legislation, wider variety, and the explosion in digital capabilities are all compounding the need for our customers to work smarter, faster, more accurately, and more securely. We analyze these global trends and listen to what our users need in terms of operational performance, and then develop cutting-edge solutions that will serve them for years to come.”

Visitors to TOC Europe can explore the capabilities of the JLT6012 vehicle-mount terminal at stand D15 and discuss the numerous advantages that it will bring to any port and container-handling operation.
