mounted mobile computers. The hardware upgrade, which is set to support the
operations across 1.5 million square feet of warehouse space, will be
implemented across the full spectrum of warehouse activities to support stock
traceability, visibility and control.

Another great name within the temperature-controlled
industry, Reed Boardall has grown to become the UK’s largest single site cold
storage facility. TouchStar’s TS7000 series truck mounted device was selected
specifically to manage data capture across the pallet pick and put away operation.

IP65 rated designs, the TS7000 was the ideal solution for Reed’s cold storage
environment.

generation in operating systems, Android, both devices provide high speed
processing technology and the rugged credentials to ensure a prolonged life
