Quick Release Mobile Docking

Mobile Applications

Highly reliable docking is critical for many field computing systems to function properly. Xplore's integrated docking systems have been designed as a key component of the entire GeneSys II System. The patented docking mechanism is the foundation for Xplore's innovative mobile docking systems.

Xplore's QR Mobile Docking Systems have been designed for applications where the GeneSys II will be docked and undocked on a daily basis, for instance in a vehicle, cart or forklift.

The "QR Dock " utilizes a unique levered docking mechanism that makes a smooth, highly reliable docking action while maintaining a solid connection. A single connection at the back of the rugged GeneSys II Computer connects to the Dock Head, providing a seamless system connection.

The inherent strength of the GeneSys II product family is that the computer and docking stations each have elements of the other designed right into their electrical and mechanical structures. This configuration allows the GeneSys II computer to be "docked" and "undocked" on demand.

The QR Docks provide instant access to a variety of I/O ports, as well as wireless radios and GPS systems. Customers have cited Xplore's Docking as the most integrated, functional and reliable docking system available."

Xplore's QR Dock can be mounted to a variety of third-party pedestals in vehicle-mounting hardware. Xplore has created vehicle mounting systems for law enforcement, utility, and other primary customer applications.

Additional Mounting Hardware

It is important to note that Xplore supports complete vehicle, cart or forklift docking systems. This includes Xplore's proprietary hardware (QR Dock), third-party mounting hardware, surge protectors and other in-vehicle requirements. Xplore has designed complete in-vehicle systems for law enforcement, EMS, utility and field service applications. The key to its superb functionality is that Xplore hardware is flexible, and we often work in conjunction with one of our docking partners to custom-design in-vehicle configurations.

• Mounting hardware: pedestal mounts, quick release mechanisms, tilt/swivel functions for LCD, keyboard trays that tilt and swivel, etc.
• Surge Protectors: third party surge protectors that "clean the power source from the battery" and protect both the battery and mobile computing equipment from surges and power spikes
• Vehicle Audits: work with customer to complete a vehicle audit, which ensures that the optimal in-vehicle hardware and electronic configuration is completed for the project
• Installation: in conjunction with a contracted Xplore partner, installation is part of a comprehensive deployment project
• Custom: Xplore often works with its installation, hardware docking, and wireless partners in order to customize many in-vehicle solutions
