The continuous operations of cargo yards and port terminals make any communication delay result in delivery delays and lost shipping containers.

The Fusion5 Rugged Tablet enables you to access real-time coordination through its portable interface:

  • Run full yard management or logistics software directly on Windows 11
  • Access live container maps, manifests, and movement logs
  • Use the touchscreen to record container inspections and issue work orders instantly

Solution: A Shock- and Dust-Resistant Tablet That’s Built for Tough Shifts

The shipping environment proves challenging because of forklifts and cranes and ongoing cargo transportation.

  • Runs Windows-based software for logistics, data tracking, and diagnostics
  • Supports USB-to-Serial (RS232/RS485) and CAN adapters for connecting to cranes, sensors, or container control units
  • Intel Quad-Core CPU and 12GB RAM handle multitasking easily
