View Additional ProfilesAUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xplore Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:XLRT), a leader in the design and development of rugged mobile computers, today announced it has received significant orders totaling over $1 million from a major pharmaceutical company for its iX104C4 Tablet PCs. Many of the devices will be utilized in clean room environments.
Mark Holleran, President of Xplore Technologies, made the announcement, noting that it represents the first time that Xplore tablets have been specifically developed for clean room use. "Clean rooms require computers that are sterile," Holleran explained. He said that for this particular order, the company created a design in which the units are "completely sealed with no holes. We also customized the computer and docking station so that there would be no area where liquid can pool and cause contamination, which would be absolutely unacceptable in a clean room environment."
Clean rooms are environments that are specifically designed to avoid any sort of contamination and prevent any foreign particles from entering the manufacturing process. Such environments are familiar to consumers in their use in the chip manufacturing process, but have expanded rapidly in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. "This represents a significant opportunity for Xplore as we move forward, and we believe our work on the iX104C4 for this particular application is valuable for the industry -- a rugged computer designed specifically for use in a clean room," Holleran said.
