Rugged computers for container terminal equipment
Rugged vehicle-mount computers for container terminal equipment, built for vibration, weather and long shifts.
What it is
Port equipment runs around the clock in a tough environment — rain, salt air, vibration, long shifts. The computers on board have to keep up.
- Rugged vehicle-mount computers
- Built for vibration and weather
- Long-shift reliability
- Configuration before despatch
How it works
Three things matter for computing on terminal equipment.
-
Mounted in the cab
A rugged computer is fixed into straddle carriers, reach stackers or other terminal equipment.
-
Built for the environment
It's rated for vibration, weather and the long shifts terminal equipment runs.
-
Connected to terminal systems
Data flows back to the terminal's own systems for tracking and operations.
Why JLT
Generic rugged computers get adapted for ports after the fact. JLT's are built for the job from the start.
- Built for salt air, constant vibration and heavy equipment use — not a laptop with a rugged case bolted on
- Sunlight-readable screens and glove-friendly controls, made for someone standing in a yard, not sitting at a desk
- Built to last, so it's not a five-year replacement cycle — lower cost over the life of the fleet, not just at purchase
- Designed to work with the terminal operating system already running the yard, so it's not a separate integration project
Products
Rugged vehicle-mount computing for terminal equipment, plus the data layer that makes sense of it.
Fleet data
JLT Insights
The data layer that normalises what your JLT computers already see across a mixed-vendor fleet — uptime, safety, utilisation, coverage and energy, in one comparable format.
Computing
Handheld Scanners
Handheld computers and scanners for gate checks, container ID and yard stocktake.
Your asset information, all in one place.
Your terminal runs machines from a dozen different manufacturers, each one keeping its operating data to itself. JLT Insights is the layer that gets it all speaking one language, so it lands in one place.
JLT vehicle-mount computers already fitted across your fleet double as a common device layer. JLT Insights collects what's happening in those machines — across every manufacturer — and turns it into one consistent, comparable format. Not another dashboard. The layer in between.
Why start at the device layer
- Already installed — no new hardware programme or retrofit across the fleet
- Doesn't care who built the machine — mixed fleet, mixed vintage, same output
- Sees the network too — coverage gaps sit alongside the machine data
What it tracks
- Uptime — flags units likely to fail before they do
- Safety — shows where impacts keep happening
- Utilisation — shows what's working and what's sitting idle
- Coverage — shows where the network actually drops out
- Integration — a scoped look at whether your TOS can use this data
- Energy — tracks where the charge is going
Common questions
Can these handle a 24-hour terminal operation?
They're built for long shifts and continuous operation. Tell us the equipment and duty cycle and we'll confirm the right unit.
Do you configure the computer before it arrives?
Yes. Where the project needs it, we image and configure the unit with your software before it leaves our warehouse.
Do I need new hardware to use JLT Insights?
No. It runs on the JLT vehicle-mount computers already fitted across your fleet, so there's no separate hardware programme or retrofit.
