The Everest is an all-in-one computer designed for use on
forklifts, carts, pallet jacks, and yard jockeys. The
addition of a heated touchscreen solves the challenge of
condensation refreezing on the touchscreen in applications
where the forklift is being driven from a freezer to an
ambient environment and back again. “Customers in cold
storage warehousing and involved in the manufacture of
frozen food are often driving between sub-zero environments
and areas above freezing. This activity causes condensation
and then a re-freezing of that condensation making the
screen unusable by the operator,” states Dan Poisson, Dir.
of Engineering for Glacier. “Development of a clear,
touchscreen heater now allows for uninterrupted use as the
operator travels between these locations,” says Poisson.
The Glacier Everest comes with either a 10.4 or 12.1” color
LCD and touchscreen. All Everest units utilize Intel
processors, industrial hard drives, integrated 802.11
wireless, and multiple I/O for the connection to an array of
peripherals. An internal 10-60 VDC power supply allows for
connecting onto 12 VDC over the road and propane vehicles as
well as 24, 36, and 48 VDC electric forklifts. Solid-state
hard drives offer protection against shock, vibration, and
temperature extremes commonly seen in warehouse, logistic,
and manufacturing / shop floor environments.
