Thor VM3

Tough full size vehicle mount for freight, manufacturing and distribution

We designed the Thor VM3 computer for the toughest distribution center environments, manufacturing facilities and freight operations. In fact, it’s the industry’s most capable full-size vehicle-mounted mobile computer. The VM3 computer combines a 30.73 cm (12.1 in) display with breakthrough innovations that deliver rapid value for your workflows.

• Smart Dock
  Lets you mount and remove the VM3 in seconds, saving on support and maintenance costs while maximizing efficiency.
• Field-Replaceable Front Panel
  Reduces maintenance cost by allowing you to service the most wear- and abuse-prone components yourself.
• Ignition Control
  Eliminates the maintenance expense and lost productivity caused by a dead vehicle battery.
• Powerful, Versatile Platform
  The Intel® x86 architecture and Dual Core 1.5GHz processor enable superior performance with data-intensive applications.
• Simple Integration and Deployment
  Supports multiple Microsoft® Windows®-based operating systems, so integration and application development are simple.
• O/S Upgrade Path
  Upgradeable for customers who need backward compatibility with their Windows® CE installed base now, but want to upgrade in the future.
• Versatile
  Can be deployed in multiple application environments – from dry goods to cold storage, indoor or outdoor, in-premise or in intermodal facilities.
• Rugged
  Backed by a durable IP66-rated design, the Thor VM3 computer is engineered to withstand the shock, vibration and ruggedness demands only a forklift can create.
• Optional Screen Blanking
  Restricts driver access to the screen when the vehicle is moving to comply with the highest safety standards.

Product Details:

Disruptions in the supply chain are costly. Are you prepared to adapt? Organizations that are have a significant competitive advantage. Equipped with the Thor VM3 Vehicle-Mount Computer, you’ll be ready.

• The Smart Dock delivers immediate savings on support and maintenance costs while maximizing efficiency – undock the unit from one forklift and redock it on another vehicle in seconds, dynamically shifting workers and computers as the workload changes.
• The field-replaceable front panel reduces your capital and maintenance cost by integrating the two most wear and abuse prone components, the keyboard and touchscreen, into a user-replaceable part. A screwdriver is all you need. This feature also reduces capital costs by letting you substitute spare front panels for spare computers.
• The ignition control allows you to set power management preferences to save startup time and extend vehicle battery life.

The Thor VM3 computer supports multiple Windows®-based operating systems, so integration and application development are simple as your business needs grow. Case picking, truck loading, putaway and replenishment… the VM3 computer equips you to get the job done more efficiently.
And the VM3 computer lets you choose the options you need to maximize efficiencies in the most demanding environments – indoors, outdoors, in a warehouse, on a shop floor, or in intermodal facilities.
