panasonic, a benchmark technology company in professional solutions that contributes to the sector by facilitating the day-to-day tasks of field workers, has become a key ally of the logistics sector thanks to its Toughbook tools. In this way, the company’s powerful tablet helps employees become more efficient, reduces downtime, and is equipped with features that make operator activities more enjoyable. In addition, thanks to its toughness and productivity, this tablet is designed to meet the needs of those who work with forklifts and who need a device that is impact and scratch resistant.

According to Mike Willett, head of Retail, Transportation, Logistics, and Manufacturing at the Panasonic Toughbook, warehouses can be a tough environment for mobile computing, with the risk of damage from dust and temperature extremes, and the bumps and crashes that come with them. occurs when used on forklift trucks. Therefore, it is important to choose a device that is durable and certified to withstand extreme conditions.

A good example is the case of The Pallet Network (TPN), the UK’s leading delivery network for countries. Thanks to the rugged characteristics of Panasonic’s tablets, the company has improved its productivity and customer service, and has the opportunity to manage its operations more conveniently, reducing the chances of damage that tablets can suffer. In this way, with the use of this device, additional repairs can be avoided.

Good visibility, efficient connectivity and guaranteed security

According to Willett, in order to allow the user and the rugged device to work in perfect harmony, another key requirement in device selection is a large screen size and can look perfect outdoors. This ensures that employees can quickly and easily see the cargo that needs to be moved and transported back and forth on a forklift.”

In addition, maintaining connectivity between the device and its network is also an additional challenge for users. In the case of TPN, the lack of efficient connectivity adds to the difficulty for workers to complete their tasks. Historically, TPN has experienced this connectivity black spot in its operations, leading to a drop in productivity, but with the built-in connectivity capabilities of the Panasonic Toughbook device, this issue was quickly resolved, Willett said.

At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the tools used by the operator are easy and intuitive to use, and that these tools are secure and easy to manage for the IT team. For this reason, Panasonic’s powerful tablets are equipped with Android technology and service packs such as Panasonic Compass, with which work teams have a wide range of digital tools that enable them to configure, manage, and ensure long tablet life; and Smart Essentials, which provides users with additional benefits such as real-time enterprise mobility intelligence software.

With this in mind and with the demands of logistics workers in mind, Panasonic has provided its flagship rugged tablet with many benefits to meet the needs of technicians operating forklifts in warehouses around the world. For all of this, Toughbook puts together a great help element that results in efficient, fast and productive work.
