Product Data Sheet / Brochure

Designed for use in the toughest distribution center environments, manufacturing facilities
and freight operations, the Thor VM3 is the industry’s most capable full-size vehicle-mounted
mobile computer, delivering unmatched operational efficiencies.
Disruptions in the supply chain are costly, and those best prepared to adapt to these
disruptions have significant competitive advantage. The Thor VM3 computer offers
breakthrough features designed to eliminate downtime and maximize capital investment for the
enterprise. The Smart Dock feature delivers immediate savings on support and maintenance
costs while maximizing efficiency by enabling users to dynamically shift computers as vehicles
fail or workload changes. Incorporating a field-replaceable front panel allows enterprises to
minimize investments in spare costs by substituting spare front panels for spare computers
and saves valuable time and maintenance costs by leveraging in-house support staff to
service the most common breaking point.
With the Thor VM3 computer, you gain the compatibility you need to upgrade to next
generation Windows® operating systems and the power to take advantage of the latest
security and productivity-enhancing features and functionality. The VM3 supports multiple
Windows®-based operating systems, so integration and application development are simple
as business needs grow. For enterprises currently running on the Windows® CE operating
system, the VM3 offers easy implementation and deployment into existing and future IT
infrastructures. With memory expandable up to 4GB RAM and 64GB solid state Disk, the VM3
can run powerful programs and applications to maximize efficiencies in activities such as
case picking, truck loading, putaway and replenishment- giving workers real time access to
information anywhere it is needed.
Whether indoors, outdoors, in a warehouse, on a shop floor, or in intermodal
facilities, the Thor VM3 computer enables enterprises to choose the options needed to
maximize efficiencies in the most demanding environments. The VM3 supports standard
resistive touchscreen or optional capacitive touchscreen for multi-touch applications. A WWAN
radio option allows for use in expansive outdoor operations where a WiFi network can’t be
deployed. The VM3 is built to withstand extreme temperatures and supports an optional
screen defroster for cold storage and freezer environments and a brighter outdoor display for
outdoor applications. An optional screen blanking feature restricts driver access to the screen
when the vehicle is in motion to comply with the highest safety standards.

VM3
Vehicle-Mount Computer
• Smart Dock: Enables mounting and removal in seconds, saving on
support and maintenance costs while maximizing efficiency by allowing
dynamic shifting of computers as workload changes.
• User Field-Replaceable Front Panel: Reduces maintenance cost by
allowing users to service the most wear- and abuse-prone components
themselves rather than returning them to the depot.
• 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 of data-intensive
applications. Plus, the Thor VM3 is Microsoft
®
Windows
®
-based, so
integration and application development are simple.
• Operating System Upgrade Path: Enterprises have an upgrade path
for customers who need backward compatibility to 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, in any IT environment.
