New MX7CS Computer for Cold Storage Delivers Critical Differentiating Features
ATLANTA - February 26, 2008 - LXE
Inc., the mobile logistics business of EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:
ELMG), today announced the introduction of the MX7CS handheld data
collection computer for cold storage environments. The MX7CS is
the smallest, lightest handheld on the market specifically designed for
highly effective use in sub-freezing temperatures (down to
-30C).
Built on the proven MX7 platform, the MX7CS completes LXE’s
industry-leading cold storage product line, which includes the MX5X
ultra-rugged handheld and the VX6 and VX7 vehicle-mounted computers.
“The MX7CS fills a critical need in the cold storage
market for a rugged handheld data collection device that’s small and
lightweight,” says Doug Brown, LXE’s director of product
management. “LXE has a deep understanding of the cold storage
business, based on extensive experience in delivering
application-specific solutions. The MX7CS is the culmination of
all the customer feedback and lessons we’ve learned during that
experience.”
The MX7CS addresses the problems that make it
impossible to use standard handheld computers in cold storage
environments. Built-in heaters eliminate both fogging and
frosting, a specialized battery promotes free-flowing power, and a
highly-effective conformal coating technique protects the unit against
the effects of condensation.
The MX7CS is a multimodal device that comes
“voice-ready” out of the box, complete with LXE’s ToughTalk™
voice-recognition technology. ToughTalk technology is the
specialized combination of LXE’s trademark ruggedized system design,
advanced audio circuitry, and noise-canceling techniques, which
together enable the MX7CS to support today’s industrial-grade
voice-recognition applications. The MX7CS allows voice logistics
applications and traditional barcode scanning applications to be used
on the same unit in cold storage environments.
As with
all of LXE’s products, the MX7CS is “born rugged, not made
rugged.” Specialized plastics absorb impacts; solid-state,
industrialized electronics resist shock and vibration; and a fully
ruggedized display and backlit keyboard can handle the rigors of rough
industrial operations.
