The stacker terminal, which is specially manufactured for mobile use, is an indispensable industrial computer (IPC). Since above-average vibration and impacts occur when stackers and cranes are used, it is important and necessary that only high-quality components are used for the stacker terminal. This way, a long life time of the stacker terminal is ensured.

It is also necessary to consider that stacker terminals have to be heat, cold, dust and water-resistant. Only then can the constant functioning of the stacker terminal be ensured – after all, it must be expected that a stacker including stacker terminal will not only be used in dry halls but also outside in cold and wet as well as hot and dry weather.

Small and compact – simply space-saving

As the name already says, the stacker terminal is an industrial computer specially developed for stackers, building machines and picking vehicles. In order not to affect the workers' radius of movement, the stacker terminal is manufactured in a compact way. This also applies for the operating elements and the display; however, everything required for the respective work area can be controlled from the stacker terminal.

Depending on the design of the stacker terminal, the size of the display also varies. However, all displays for the stacker terminals are suited to work as touchscreens; this way, the keyboard and mouse become unnecessary – which is very practical. The touchscreen of the stacker terminal not only is suited for operation with bare fingers, but also with gloves, which is very handy in practice.

Added value due to compatibility

Thanks to their compatibility, stacker terminals can be incorporated into existing WLAN networks without any problems, which avoids time-consuming system changes. By using already existing components and software solutions, it also is possible to reduce costs, which benefits the users of stacker terminals.

Intelligent stacker terminals – always the best temperature

All stacker terminals produced by us are perfectly suited for mobile use. These IPCs even provide the advantage of being able to activate an electronic heating system for temperatures below zero. This function is particularly important for vehicles that are also used in very cold temperatures – such as cranes, caterpillars or excavators. Optionally, stacker terminals can also be equipped with a heating systems with sensor, which compares the outside temperature with the inside temperature, compensates the differences and thus provides the device with an optimum operating temperature.

Always reliable

Furthermore, it should also be ensured that mobile stacker terminal keyboards can also be operated with gloves, since this will be necessary in practice.

Instead of a hard disk, the stacker terminal has a semiconductor memory; this way, the industrial computer can process data reliably despite vibrations and impacts. A flash card is used as semiconductor memory, which is perfectly suited for the operating system Windows XP. The stacker terminal – also a mobile IPC – should always provide interfaces, because it must be possible to connect peripheral devices.

By means of the stacker terminal, the productivity of a company is increased significantly, because all business-relevant data can be recorded and processed in real time. This way, inventories can be taken more quickly, too.

All tailor-made

Many factors play an important role in constructing a stacker terminal that meets the customer requirements. Manufacturers of IPCs/stacker terminals, however, always want to meet all customer requirements. Every stacker terminal to be manufactured is a challenge for the producer, because every industrial computer is tailored to the individual requirements of the customers.
