Client Overview / Case Study : A Modern Home Textile EnterpriseÂ
In the bustling world of home textiles, one modern enterprise is redefining excellence. This isn’t just a company that makes comforters, bedding sets, and window coverings; it’s an integrated powerhouse driving research and development, production, and sales to new heights. With products gracing homes in both local and international markets, their secret lies in a relentless pursuit of improvement. By embracing intelligent equipment and a streamlined production system, they’re not just manufacturing textiles – they’re consistently elevating product quality and operational efficiency, setting a new standard for the industry.
Operational Challenges Faced? Â
- Legacy Equipment Bottlenecks
Our client faced a critical juncture in their warehouse operations. As demands for higher efficiency, accuracy, and intelligence intensified, their existing rugged vehicle PCs, once sufficient, were falling short. This created a clear bottleneck, highlighting the urgent need for a more advanced and robust computing solution capable of meeting the evolving complexities of a modern, data-driven warehouse environment.Â
- Processor Limitations
Our client discovered that their older rugged vehicle PCs were creating an unacceptable drag on productivity. The core issue? Their original device processors couldn’t keep up with updated software requirements, resulting in persistent lag and sluggish response times. This wasn’t just an inconvenience; it was a significant disruption to critical workflows, making the case for a more powerful and compatible computing solution undeniable.Â
- Thermal Vulnerability
Reliability is non-negotiable in demanding environments, yet our client’s existing rugged vehicle PCs presented a critical vulnerability. Poor heat dissipation meant that during prolonged operational use, these devices were prone to overheating. This wasn’t merely uncomfortable; it directly translated into significant system instability and occasional, workflow-crippling crashes, undermining productivity and trust in their technology.Â
- Inefficient Cooling Workarounds
Desperate times called for desperate measures, but our client’s solution to overheating proved to be a new problem. Relying on external USB fans for cooling introduced a host of unintended consequences. Not only did these fans compromise the device’s appearance and usability, but the tangle of cables also led to power instability and potential safety risks due to interference. This stopgap solution highlighted a critical need for an integrated and robust cooling system.Â
Rugged SA Revolutionizing the Warehouse : A Smart Upgrade with ONERugged V10JÂ
With the ONERugged V10J Vehicle PC, our client upgraded to a system that tackled every previous pain point.
The V10J, featuring the advanced Intel® Jasper Lake N5100 processor, directly tackled critical pain points in our client’s warehouse. Gone are the days of inconvenient operation, frustrating system lag, and unreliable performance due to poor heat dissipation. This new device has significantly enhanced operational efficiency and system stability, providing the robust foundation their modern warehouse demands.Â
Engineered for Efficiency: Seamless Integration and Ergonomics
Seamlessly integrated into their workflow, the V10J is securely mounted within the cabin of a TCM electric forklift using specialized ball holders and shafts. This thoughtful design allows for flexible multi-angle adjustments, ensuring operators can easily optimize viewing angles and usability for maximum comfort and productivity during long shifts. Operators benefited from:

Real-Time Operations, Real-World Impact
The V10J connects directly to the Warehouse Management System (WMS) via Wi-Fi. Operators receive task instructions instantly and update job statuses in real-time.
Key features include:
• Live GPS tracking for optimal route planning
• Bluetooth barcode scanning for instant data collection
• Wi-Fi uploads of completed task statuses for a closed-loop operation
This streamlined digital interface drastically reduces delays, manual errors, and paperwork, enhancing decision-making across the floor.
This holistic approach, powered by the ONERugged V10J, has not only optimized their warehouse operations but has also set a new standard for intelligent logistics within the home textile industry.
Like we mentioned before , the V10J’s real power shines during daily operations, connected to the backend system in real-time via Wi-Fi, forklift operators can effortlessly log into the Warehouse Management System (WMS). This direct link provides instant access to crucial task instructions, detailed inventory information, and real-time cargo status, eliminating delays and improving decision-making.Â
