JLT Mobile
Computers Selected by Leading International
Port Operator ICTSI for Reliability in Extreme Environments
Rugged JLT
VERSO(TM) 12 mobile computers keep containers moving during hottest
Middle-Eastern summer temperatures at Basra Gateway Terminal in
Iraq
Växjö, Sweden, 24th October
2016 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a
leading developer and manufacturer of reliable computers for
demanding environments, announces that it has successfully
delivered a total of 50 JLT VERSO(TM) 12 mobile computers to the
Basra Gateway Terminal (BGT). BGT, which is operated by leading
terminal operator International Container Terminal Services Inc.
(ICTSI), is Iraq's premier container and multi-purpose cargo
handling facility at the port of Umm Qasr. This order represents
the third port in the ICTSI group that uses JLT mobile computers,
following major design wins at Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in
Gdynia, Poland, and Batumi International Container Terminal (BICTL)
in Batumi, Georgia. BGT opened an extension to its facility on
12th October
2016, with the first container lifted by one of two new
ship-to-shore cranes during the opening ceremony.
Working with its key contractor and business
partner Autepra, JLT delivered 50 VERSO 12 rugged mobile computers
prior to the opening of BGT's new facility. The computers are
operated with new equipment including reach stackers, terminal
tractors, and forklifts. All the BGT computers are used with the
Navis N4 terminal operating system (TOS).
In this part of the Middle East, temperatures can
reach the extremes on a daily basis, so it's essential that the
computers used can withstand this environment to ensure that
operations keep running seamlessly. Any interruption in service,
however small, can have massive knock-on effects on
productivity.
"Basra Gateway Terminal has one of the harshest
operating environments for a port terminal in the world," says
Sebastiano Cerneka, ICTSI's Head of IT for Europe and the Middle
East. "This summer, we recorded a temperature of 53°C, the hottest
in the Western Hemisphere. During that time the JLT VERSO 12
computers, which are not used in air conditioned environments, kept
working. Being able to rely on JLT's VERSO 12 rugged mobile
computers means we can continue to meet the needs of shipping lines
and cargo shippers despite the extreme weather and temperatures we
experience as a matter of course."
"While the key challenge for the rugged mobile
computers supplied to BGT is absolute reliability in extreme
temperatures, seamless integration with the port's systems was also
critical," points out Tomas Girdzevicius, CEO, Autepra. "Selecting
JLT's VERSO 12 rugged mobile computers meant the temperature
requirement could be met with a computer that's pre-certified as
ready to work with the terminal operating system BGT was already
using. Integration was therefore as quick and straightforward as
possible."
Equipped with Intel® Atom Quad Core(TM)
Series processors, the VERSO 12 computer is the latest generation
of high-performance vehicle-mounted PCs from JLT that are developed
from the ground up for use in the harshest environments and for
business-critical functions. JLT's entire VERSO range has been
validated as ready for integration into any shipping port or
terminal running Navis N4.
