Advantech’s DLT-V72 Rugged Vehicle-Mounted Terminals Now Available with Industrial Android OS

Germering, February 18, 2019 – Advantech, a leading provider of industrial computing platforms, has announced that its DLT-V72 series of vehicle-mounted terminals are now available with Advantech’s industrial Android OS. With the Android operating system claiming an 87.7% market share of consumer-grade mobile devices worldwide, the trend for handheld devices and vehicle-mounted terminals used for industrial logistics applications has been to replace Windows CE with Android as the standard OS. IT managers and system integrators are increasingly looking to unify the operating system for handheld devices and vehicle-mounted terminals in an effort to reduce maintenance and increase productivity through intuitive operation of a familiar OS. In keeping with this trend, Advantech has equipped its DLT-V72 series of vehicle-mounted terminals with its industrial Android OS in order to provide cutting-edge mobile computing solutions. The recent system update also allows Advantech’s DLT-V72 series terminals to support Android 7.1.

 Designed for diverse logistics and warehouse applications, Advantech’s DLT-V72 terminals support multiple OS, including Windows, Linux, and Android, allowing customers to migrate from one OS to another with no extra hardware investment. Equipped with an Intel® Atom™ E3845 quad-core processor and an abrasion-resistant touchscreen with resistive or projected capacitive (P-CAP) touch control, DLT-V72 terminals support a wide operating temperature (-30 ~ 50 °C/-22 ~ 122 °F) for operation in extreme industrial environments (from hot and humid, to dry freezer environments). The Advantech Android OS is a true industrial non-Google Mobile Services (GMS) board support package (BSP) that has no backdoors for Google to access the system, thereby providing enhanced security for industrial applications. Available with different screen sizes (10” and 12”), all DLT-V72 terminals feature enhanced Wi-Fi roaming capabilities for real-time communication and uninterrupted data transmissions, IP66-rated protection from water and dust ingress, and 5M3 certification for shock and vibration tolerance. Moreover, DLT-V72 terminals can be integrated with an optional defroster for melting ice and frost and eliminating condensation to ensure maximum reliability and performance even in sub-zero temperatures. Additionally, Advantech also provides a variety of value-added tools, including DLoG MDevice and SOTI, to enable seamless software deployment and system migration for enhanced device management.
