WOODBURY, N.Y., June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Janam Technologies LLC, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly, announced today that Trunks & Leaves, a non-profit organization focused on the ecology and conservation of wild Asian elephants, is using the Android-powered XT1 rugged mini-tablet from Janam to more efficiently capture data about how human activities affect wild elephants in Sri Lanka.
Fifty percent of all wild Asian elephants have disappeared within the last 75 years. Trunks & Leaves supports the Uda Walawe Elephant Research Project (UWERP) which collects vital data about the social lives of elephants and assesses the consequences of the increasing resource demands of the human population. Janam's XT1 allows Trunks & Leaves research biologists to work more efficiently – ultimately generating faster results and providing more time for additional data gathering and analysis.
KEY FACTS
- Trunks & Leaves selected Janam's XT1 rugged mini-tablet because it combines best-in-class technologies with a sleek and rugged design, providing researchers with the ability to efficiently capture mission-critical data at the point of activity.
- Trunks & Leaves requires a fast, reliable and rugged device that can withstand the rigors of the Sri Lankan wilderness. The XT1 incorporates features like IP54 sealing to protect it from rain and dust, along with hardened touch screen glass to help ensure resistance to damage.
- The XT1's battery is also a game changer for Trunks & Leaves. With researchers out in the field for days at a time with inconsistent access to power supplies, it is essential that their data capture device provide long-lasting battery life.
- Janam's XT1 is critical to the collection of data that provides fundamental insights into Asian elephant social organization, assesses whether elephants exhibit the types of complex relationships generally associated with primates, whales, and dolphins, and explores human-elephant conflict points such as crop raiding behaviors in the hopes of uncovering potential solutions.
