Rugged, versatile, powerful –
the logistics industrial PCs from noax
noax has designed its C12 and C15 industrial PCs to focus specifically on
the requirements of the logistics industry. The noax C12 and C15 vehicle
terminals are ideal for use on forklifts and industrial vehicles thanks to
their compact design. The C12 offers excellent versatility where space is
limited. For applications featuring larger vehicles, the C15 is the smart
choice due to its larger 15” display. With optimized WLAN functionality
featuring dual-integrated antennas, the C12 and C15 PCs ensure excellent
data transfer and optimum reliability. Coupled with the renowned noax
robustness, these features allow the C12 and C15 models to be
exceptionally well suited for applications in both inventory management
and transport logistics.
From order picking and inventory management, to truck dispatch and
transportation of heavy loads. noax Compact Series PCs have been proving
their ruggedness and reliability for many years in the field. Logistics PCs from
noax stand out from the competition due to their slim design, flexibility, and
adaptability to a wide-variety of user-specific applications.
Up-to-date thanks to WLAN and UMTS – anytime and anywhere
Thanks to the new design of the compact C12 model, the noax developers were
able to reduce the dimensions even further. As a result, it is easier to fit into
industrial trucks or narrow cabs, such as in small forklifts. The models support
the WLAN standards 802.11a/b/g/n as well as the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequency bands, to ensure optimal communication within the company network
and efficient coordination of the logistics process. The WLAN antennas are
integrated into the front frame to prevent them from breaking off. Alternatively,
they can also be installed outside the IPC, for example on the roof of the forklift.
If WLAN is not available but data still needs to be transferred to the company
network, the noax IPC also offers the option to transfer data via WWAN, such
as UMTS.
Rapid data capture via Bluetooth and RFID
noax is able to integrate Bluetooth functionality, for example for data
transmission with wireless barcode scanners, thereby simplifying handling
1/4
during order picking operations. The noax IPCs can also be fitted with an RFID
transponder reader if required.
Protection against loss of data with the internal UPS
There are few forklift trucks and industrial trucks today that are not equipped
with a computer. However, because the supply voltage often drops when a
vehicle is started, this can lead to a sudden disabling of the IPC when the
computer on the forklift is booted. This frequently results in loss of important
information. The noax C12 and C15 forklift terminals with integrated UPS are
the ideal solution. The integrated uninterruptible power supply bridges short
supply voltage drop-outs – the information is preserved and remains available
to employees. The integrated UPS can also withstand extreme operating
temperatures as low as negative 30°C – making it ideal for use in refrigerated
warehouses.
More user convenience with front USB connection
The simple and easily accessible USB connection on the front of the IPCs
allows data to be loaded, for example, from a USB memory stick or additional
peripheral devices. This USB connection is sealed by a rubber cap that forms a
100% seal in accordance with protection class IP65. If the cap is ever lost or
fitted incorrectly, noax engineers have ensured that neither water nor dirt can
enter the inside of the IPC. As inventory management vehicles as well as noax
industrial PCs have to face the elements when used outside, noax’s well
thought-out concept once again comes into its own in this regard, with its clear
focus on robustness and reliability. Additionally, the durable design of the C12
and C15 means they are also suitable for use in cold chain logistics up to minus
30°C.
Simple installation
Thanks to its versatile construction, it is easy to install the compact industrial
PCs on industrial trucks, high-rack stacker forklifts, or other machinery. T-track
rails as well as VESA mounting holes allow for simple, rapid installation.
Furthermore, the skillful design of the connector area allows the connector
cover to be fitted and removed almost instantly – a feature that also benefits
service personnel.
It goes without saying that all noax industrial PCs are completely protected
against dust and water in accordance with IP65. The robustness for which noax
PCs are renowned make them ideal for use as a forklift PC or vehicle terminal.
noax can thus offer its customers top-quality hardware that can be optimally
adapted to meet their specific requirements in a variety of logistics areas, which
in turn gives customers more room for flexibility.
