With cold storage playing an ever-larger role in the life-cycle of goods and materials, and with cold storage facilities growing in size and efficiency to meet the demand, the time is right for businesses to extend their computing and communication power into those busy but extreme environments. Look no further than Glacier—the name says it all—for the cold-storage computer capabilities already adopted by a slew of Fortune 500 companies.
"By pressing a button on the screen, the press operator can alert a team member on the forklift that he's almost ready for a refill coil. That saves 15 to 20 minutes of 'up time' that the operator used to waste by stopping the press, walking the floor, finding the fork lift operator, giving him the job information, and then waiting for the coil to be delivered and loaded onto the press. That extra 20 minutes makes a big difference in the bottom line."
- Mike Brueggeman, Director of Information Systems S&Z Tool & Die Company
Forklifts deployed in food processing operations and frozen food distribution centers often operate in temperatures as low as 40 below. And these same vehicles usually move between those harsh conditions and warmer destinations like loading docks, subjecting any onboard hardware to frequent fluctuations in temperature. Glacier’s industrial computers are designed with these challenges in mind. Our forklift computers are engineered for peak performance even if left in the cold indefinitely, these devices don’t flinch from sudden warm-ups or cool-downs either.
Sealed against moisture and dust, our wall-mounted or forklift computer units keep water and ice from ever reaching the components that secure your data and your network. An optional solid-state hard drive increases our already industry-leading protection from vibration, shock, and temperature. The Glacier Everest series offers the option of a heated touchscreen that keeps your interface condensation-free. And with whichever configuration you adopt, your operation will reap the benefits of Glacier’s reliable industrial computer products and commitment to customer service.
