Using A Windows Tablet On A Forklift

Vintage Janus J2050 Forklift Terminal Mid 90’s

Vehicle Mount computers or terminals have been around the warehouse for many years. Typically they have been used for pick and put away of palletised product in warehouses and docking environments. The operator often using a tethered or bluetooth barcode scanner to record locations and products into an inventory or WMS application.

So why are clients looking at using a windows tablet on a forklift instead?

Dedicated large screen fork lift terminals or vehicle mount computers allows users to view data or run a terminal emulation session usually into a warehouse management system. But they tend to be expensive somewhat one dimensional and some still run proprietary operating systems and can have smaller screens than might be expected.

Rugged Tablet Alternative 8 Good Reasons

  1. Larger screens – take advantage of sealed rugged designs using solid state drives up to 11.6″ diagonal screen in an enclosure built for rugged use.
  2. Broad range of tablet form factors from MobileDemand and Zebra.
  3. Android or Windows 10 OS – making for easier integration into warehouse management systems (WMS) and other legacy solutions.
  4. Wide range of mount options including powered and powered cradles with or without tethered scanning for long range use. Learn More
  5. Integral 2D scanning for situations where the operator can detach the tablet and start scanning items while on foot.
  6. Enabling ROI through the creation of more flexible shift patterns for stock check  by using devices on or off the forklift.
  7. Sign on screen allows an internal POD to transport staff.
  8. Integral cameras allow warehouse staff to snap a picture of damaged product straight away.
