Rugged Tablet for Food Processing and Warehouse Operations
Discover how the MUNBYN IRT10 rugged Windows tablet can support digital workflows in fresh food processing, warehouse management, and distribution environments through touchscreen computing and integrated 2D barcode scanning.
Case Study: Bolthouse Fresh
Bolthouse Fresh, also known as Bolthouse Farms, is a major North American producer and distributor of fresh carrots and other fresh food products. Headquartered in Bakersfield, California, the company operates across the fresh produce supply chain, with products spanning fresh vegetables, prepared produce, and beverages.
From agricultural production and food processing to warehousing and distribution, fresh food businesses rely on coordinated operational workflows to manage products, inventory, and shipments. Mobile computing devices can support these processes by helping staff capture data, access business applications, and identify products throughout daily operations.
MUNBYN provides industrial computing solutions designed for demanding business environments. Bolthouse Fresh selected the MUNBYN IRT10 rugged Windows tablet with an integrated 2D barcode scanner, providing a hardware platform for compatible business applications and barcode-based workflows.
The Challenge
1. Managing Inventory Across the Supply Chain
Fresh food operations involve the movement of products between processing, storage, and distribution stages. Accurate product identification and inventory records are important for organizing stock and supporting warehouse coordination.
Barcode-enabled mobile devices can help staff capture product information and record inventory movements through compatible business systems.
2. Supporting Digital Data Collection in Processing Environments
Food processing operations involve multiple activities, including production recording, product identification, quality documentation, and packaging coordination. Access to digital forms and business applications can help staff record operational information closer to where work takes place.
A rugged tablet provides a larger touchscreen interface than a conventional handheld scanner, making it a potential option for workflows that require both data entry and barcode scanning.
3. Improving Information Access in Warehouse and Distribution Workflows
Warehouse and distribution teams may need to check product details, verify inventory, and record incoming or outgoing goods. A mobile computing platform can help bring relevant digital information to operational work areas, subject to application and network availability.
The MUNBYN Solution
MUNBYN IRT10 Rugged Windows Tablet with 2D Barcode Scanner
The MUNBYN IRT10 is a rugged Windows tablet designed for business and industrial applications. It combines a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Windows-based computing, and an integrated 2D barcode scanning configuration to support compatible enterprise workflows.
1. Barcode-Based Inventory Management
The integrated 2D scanner allows users to capture supported barcodes directly with the tablet. When connected to compatible inventory or warehouse management software, the IRT10 can support product identification, stock verification, and inventory data entry.
This configuration brings barcode capture and computing together in one device, helping simplify hardware setup for supported workflows.
2. Touchscreen Data Entry for Operational Tasks
The 10.1-inch touchscreen provides a practical interface for compatible business applications, including digital forms, inventory records, and operational data entry.
Compared with a scanning-only device, a tablet can be useful for workflows that require staff to review information, complete multiple fields, or interact with more complex application interfaces.
3. Rugged Design for Industrial Environments
With an IP65-rated enclosure, the IRT10 is designed to provide protection against dust and water jets under specified test conditions. Its rugged construction makes it a potential option for suitable processing, warehouse, and distribution environments.
Actual suitability depends on the operating conditions, including exposure to moisture, cleaning chemicals, impact, and temperature. The device should be evaluated against the site’s specific food processing or warehouse requirements.
4. Flexible Deployment for Business Applications
Running Windows, the IRT10 supports compatible enterprise software and peripherals. Depending on the application and installation requirements, it can be evaluated for fixed workstations, mobile operational tasks, or supported vehicle-mounted workflows.
Its suitability for a particular deployment depends on software compatibility, network coverage, mounting arrangements, and environmental conditions.
