The cold chain supplies products with good quality and safety through processing, storing, delivering, and selling. All of these movements proceed in refrigerated temperature with the help of rugged mobile computers. The cold chain applications fall into the logistics of food, including vegetables, fruit, or meat, and medicine is also included, such as vaccines and antibiotics.
However, it is not an easy task to fulfill the complicated demands under a 3T principle, which reveals the three factors that decide the final quality of the products: time, temperature, and tolerance. The requirements for the former two controllable factors are:
- Time. The time of cold chain delivery should be as short as possible to retain the freshness.
- Temperature. The temperature of the cold chain should be not only low but also stable to avoid metamorphism.
With the strict requirements of operating a cold chain, a rugged mobile computer is needed to realize fast and accurate delivery.
Rugged Mobile Computers Meet the Need in The Cold Chain
Due to the irreversible quality decrease, every process of the cold chain should be conducted not only methodically but also efficiently. A handheld mobile computer with the following benefits can greatly meet the above requirements.
1. Streamline Cold Storage Handling
There are usually multiple goods in cold storage, especially for a cold chain supplier. Therefore, it is vital for the storage manager to manually input the location of each kind of goods. Obviously, it is impossible for a human brain to memorize such a large amount of information. That is where a cold chain handheld computer comes into play. Before storing the goods, an important step is needed: coding for each good and using a rugged mobile computer to scan the code. Its location and other information will be recorded so that it can be quickly transferred when needed. With the powerful handheld mobile computer, data recording and recalling become a piece of cake.
2. Increase Accuracy and Productivity
People may get tired after hours of working, being less concentrated and then causing some errors. For a rugged mobile computer, it can always on its best state to serve the operators who need to deal with numerous data, avoiding checking and revising. It saves energy and time, provides precise information, and increases efficiency, contributing to the cold chain circulation speed-up.
3. Visibility Promotes Safety and Efficiency
The quality of the products is always the main concern of the cold chain. No matter what high-tech storage technology and how well-equipped cold storage is, the degradation of the products cannot be stopped as time flows.
Therefore, it is essential for employees to check the production date, storage temperature, etc., and then arrange the delivery according to the schedule. By using a rugged mobile computer, the information of the product can be displayed after scanning the code, which greatly improves the efficiency and ensuring the quality of the product.
UROVO Brings You the Advantages in Cold Chain
Considering the requirements and functions of a rugged mobile computer, UROVO launched the RT40 that can accomplish complicated tasks under cold environments.
1. High Performance
Under the requirements of refrigerated temperature, devices need high performance to insist the great efficiency. UROVO designs RT40 from the following aspects:
2. Hardware
RT40 adapts to the Android 10.0 system and installs an Octa-core CPU, ensuring fluent and smooth work. UROVO equips RT40 with a 13MP camera to record the information clearly, allowing on-site emergency recording at any conditions.
3. Power Support
The battery of the rugged mobile computer supports hot-swap, which allows a no-power-off battery replacement, perfectly protecting the data and preventing data loss. Also, the 5200mAh large-capacity battery can be fully charged in less than three hours to support a longer working time.
4. Wi-Fi Transmission
Thanks to the built-in dual PA and refined Wi-Fi roaming, the Wi-Fi transmission of RT40 is both wide coverage and low time-delay, giving an opportunity on ultra-low packet loss rate and real-time data display.
5. Durable
The rugged mobile computer RT40 with a professional anti-condensation screen and a cold resistance feature can still function perfectly in the cold environment. Its -40~70℃storage temperature guarantees its working ability in cold storage. The automatic heat of the screen and scanning window make the display clear all the time. What’s more, the IP68 rating dust-proof and water-proof protection and 1.8m drop resistance greatly improve its durability under a harsh environment.
6. Software Supplies and Support
UROVO offers every client effective management tools, including deployment in batches operation system, device management system, remote diagnosis, and cloud data storage service, which prompt the working cycle’s high-speed operation and circulation.
7. Ultra-long-range Scanner
The mobile computer can easily identify the barcodes from 15 meters away because of the professional engine and clear camera. A screen barcode scan is supported as well. Showing a strong competence in scanning, RT40 helps deal with the stacked goods in an efficient way.
8. Portable
The weight of UROVO RT40 is only 425g, and the dimension is 199*58*29mm. The tiny but powerful rugged mobile computer makes it easy for operators to carry in the cold storage.
Conclusion
Owning a complete industrial chain of mobile applications, UROVO gives professional solutions to more than 100 countries and regions. With the efforts of 1200 innovative employees, UROVO provides cost-effective products and services for customers in logistics, retail, medical care, transportation, and other industries.
