Freezer Computer / Freezer Terminal / Cold Storage Terminal

Freezer Rated Computers and Terminals for Your Cold Storage Facility

Working in the cold is tough even for today's ruggedized wireless computers:

Liquid crystals in your mobile terminal’s display can freeze causing display damage.
Keyboards and protective rubber gaskets can freeze, become brittle and crack.
The casing protecting your mobile computer can become brittle and shatter when dropped.
Battery life is shortened.
Terminal connectors shrink and become loose causing temporary “shorts”.
And computer mounting brackets can come loose.

And that’s not even the bad part. Take that computer repeatedly in and out of the cold - that’s when you’ll see if your “rugged” mobile computer truly is freezer rugged. Extreme fluctuations in temperature create condensation, and condensation can kill not just the computer, but also the productivity gains you expect from using them:

Computer screens fog impacting your operator’s ability to read the screen.
Touchscreens can malfunction as condensation turns to ice between the screen and front bezel.
Scanner exit windows fog impacting your barcode laser’s effectiveness.
Puddles can form inside terminals and scanners causing corrosion and equipment failures.

With a properly designed freezer rated computer – a freezer terminal designed from the ground up to work in the cold such as those manufactured by companies such as LXE Inc. You'll find:

Heated screens and scanner exit windows that eliminate condensation, fog or ice build-up
Internal components that are heavy-industrial grade to withstand industrial temperature ranges
Internal components that are coated with a plastic film that protects the electronics from moisture and corrosion
Special freezer rated plastics that can withstand sub zero temperatures without compromise
Advanced power management features
Freezer-rated battery chemistries that resist premature battery depletion
“High-Vis” screens for better visibility in low light freezers
