Winmate’s FM10 Series of Vehicle-Mount Computer Exceeds Expectations

Winmate’s FM series are installed to replace an existing, less robust system. This new setup enables users to increase material handling, reduce cost associated with handling delays, and streamline the supply chain. This computer can be securely mounted inside a forklift, providing work flow, scheduling, tracking, and the exact location of any piece or product throughout the warehouse.

Background

The customer in this application had an existing system that often loss communications at different locations with their facility. The older, slower, and less robust system was not as ergonomically friendly and work flow was interrupted by communication errors. The customer desired a system that would not only maintain connectivity throughout their facilities, but would be easy to retrofit, and easy to use

Solution

The older system was removed and Winmate’s FM10 VMC was retrofitted to the customer’s 48 VDC forklifts. The FM10 has flexible power requirements that can handle up to 60 VDC, which eliminates the need for a special power adapter. An extended range barcode scanner with Bluetooth was paired to the base station.

Result

- Drivers noted that the systems operated quicker than the older system and the communications remained robust throughout the whole facility, even in areas where the older system lost communications

- Device’s form factor allowed for driver comfort and safer operation

- The installer love the system, especially with all screws and terminals being included within the provided kit

- The clean manner in which system could be setup was a huge plus to the installer

- With no complaints from the operators, and positive remarks from the installers, the installation was a huge success that exceeded the customer's expectations
