Total Contract will Equip 200 Forklifts with Arbor's
Gladius G0975 Rugged Tablet and Dock
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Arbor Solution announces it has secured the first volume order from a heavy
equipment manufacturer to equip its forklifts with rugged tablets. The customer
purchased Arbor's Gladius G0975 rugged tablet with the VMC 975 dock for its
forklifts in one factory. At the completion of the project, the manufacturer
will install the Gladius G0975 on 200 forklifts across six factories. The
tablets will be used to direct the driver while performing picks in the
factory, and it will interface with a standalone barcode scanner, which
collects the inventory information about what is being collected and
distributed.
"After
successful field testing in a hot, southwest location this summer, Arbor's
Gladius G0975 and dock qualified at a fraction of the cost of competing
products," said Brian Yurkiw, vice president of Arbor Solution. "In
addition to satisfying all of the technical requirements at a low cost, Arbor
was chosen because of its U.S.-based service, and its ability to create a
system that easily integrated with the customer's existing IT
infrastructure."
Rugged Mobility
The Arbor Gladius G0975 tablet is MIL-STD-810G certified for
drop and vibration and is IP65 certified as well, meaning it can withstand
drops of up to four feet, as well as shocks and spills, and prevents entry of
dust and 360-degree water spray. Its rugged characteristics make it perfect for
the elements encountered in a factory setting, as well as allow the forklift to
move in and out of buildings, without risking damage to the tablet from rain or
extreme temperatures.

The
Gladius G0975 rugged tablet PC features a generous 9.7" XGA TFT color LCD
with five-point MultiTouch projected capacitive
touchscreen display using

bonded screen, is available for use
