ST. PAUL, Minn. - (Business Wire) Nagasaki IPC announced that they have provided Intelligent Devices with over 100 touch screen units for Intelligent Devices Mobile Data Collection System (MDC) for the State of South Dakotas MDC snow plow pilot project. The MDC interface will provide the snow plow driver with current road condition information and the best salt/sand/chemical mixture given the current road conditions. Each snow plow equipped with the MDC will be able to transmit road conditions, mixture information, truck location through GPS, lane selection, and plow blade positioning information back to the home office of the department of transportation.

The MDC integrates proprietary software, GPS technology, and LED technology. Scott Romuld, President of Nagasaki IPC commented, The fanless panel PC with LED technology provides a brighter user interface, consumes less power, emits less heat, and last 30% longer than traditional systems. More important than the inner workings of the technology is the fact that the system will optimize road treatment mixtures based on specific conditions,resulting in an expense reduction by reducing mixture component waste. Most importantly, the proper mixture helps to ensure the roadways in South Dakota are as safe as possible.

Working with Nagasaki IPC enabled us to provide South Dakota with a low-powered, rugged, reliable, military grade solution. Its been a pleasure working with Nagasaki IPC. They have been receptive to all our needs and the system has complied with our MDC controller specifications. I look forward to working with them on future projects, said Mark Neill, Operations Manager for Intelligent Devices, Inc.
