Rugged computer manufacturer JLT Mobile Computers is keen to push its prowess in the port sector where reliability is a necessity, not a luxury.
“Ports have become such a big deal for us as reliability is so important,” said chief executive Per Holmberg.
Speaking exclusively with Port Strategy, Mr Holmberg said that it’s JLT’s personal service that sets it apart from other rugged computer manufacturers serving the port industry.
“We have manufacturing and servicing in-house so we can respond quickly to customers’ needs – I don’t think any of our competitors can do that,” he said.
As a key part of its moves in the ports’ sector, JLT recently announced that it has joined the Navis Ready partner program and will initiate validation of its rugged vehicle-mount computers against the Navis N4 terminal operating system.
“Getting approval and validation from Navis to be Navis-ready is important for us as it puts a stamp of approval on our products,” Mr Holmberg said to PS.
“By collaborating with Navis, whose terminal operating system is used by the world’s leading container terminal operators, we can demonstrate that our solutions comply with Navis Ready requirements, providing an extra level of confidence to our customers.”
