Battery Powered Mobile Workstations That Seamlessly Bring Technology to the Point of Task

A mobile computer workstation is a battery-powered, wheeled cart that brings computers, barcode scanners, printers, and other essential devices directly to where work happens on the warehouse floor. Instead of employees walking back to a fixed workstation after every scan or pick, a mobile workstation cart travels with them, eliminating motion waste and keeping workers productive at the point of task. DTG’s mobile computer workstations are powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, the safest and most reliable battery chemistry available for industrial environments, delivering up to 24 hours of continuous runtime per charge.

DTG manufactures a full range of battery-powered carts for warehouse, logistics, and distribution operations:
‍
Problem Solver PowerStations: Mobile computer workstation carts available in X300 (300Wh), X600 (600Wh), and F1500 (1,500Wh) configurations, supporting laptops or display monitors plus printers and scanners
Workbench PowerStations: Fixed-height and motorized adjustable-height powered industrial carts for order picking, mobilized assembly, and data collection
RFID PowerStation: A specialized mobile power cart custom-designed for inventory and asset tracking using RFID technology
Machine Vision PowerStation: A mobile picking cart integrated with Zebra machine vision cameras for automated quality control
OEM & Custom Solutions: Fully custom-engineered industrial mobile carts built to client specifications

DTG’s MPower LFP battery systems deliver up to 24 hours of runtime on a single charge, depending on the workstation model and device configuration. Standard configurations powering a laptop, thermal printer, and barcode scanner typically run 12–16 hours, well beyond a standard warehouse shift. The MPower X300 provides 300Wh of capacity, the X600 provides 600Wh, and the F1500 delivers 1,500Wh for high-demand setups with industrial printers. Recharge time is just 2–3 hours.

For 24/7 warehouse operations, DTG’s hot-swappable battery design allows workers to replace a depleted battery with a fully charged one in seconds, with zero downtime. The system’s patented Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) keeps all connected devices running continuously during the swap.

LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate, or LiFePO₄) is a lithium battery chemistry recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the most thermally stable lithium-ion chemistries available. DTG uses 100% LFP technology across all battery-powered computer carts and powered mobile carts. Here’s how LFP compares to the lead-acid batteries used by many competitors:

Cycle life: LFP delivers 3,500+ charge cycles versus 300–500 for lead-acid, a 7× to 10× advantage
Efficiency: LFP operates at roughly 95% energy efficiency versus approximately 50% for lead-acid
Weight: LFP weighs roughly one-third less than an equivalent lead-acid battery
Charge speed: LFP charges up to four times faster, 2–3 hours versus 8–10 hours for lead-acid
Usable capacity: Over 85% of LFP capacity is usable, while lead-acid should not discharge below 50% to preserve lifespan
Safety: LFP has near-zero risk of thermal runaway, making it the safest chemistry for indoor warehouse environments

DTG has delivered over 100 million lifetime battery cycles with a 99.99% failure-free record across more than 200,000 daily active users.

Mobile computer workstations eliminate the single largest source of warehouse labor waste: unnecessary walking. According to a study published by the Material Handling Institute (MHI), warehouse workers in facilities without mobile workstations can spend up to 60–70% of their shift walking between fixed stations and work areas. By bringing technology to the point of task, mobile workstations convert that wasted motion into productive time.

Documented efficiency gains from DTG warehouse deployments include:
DHL achieved full ROI in just 15 days by deploying DTG carts in shipping and receiving
TJX recovered thousands of wasted steps per shift and measurably increased efficiency
WebstaurantStore eliminated the cost of unproductive steps in its pick-and-pack process

Across all deployments, DTG’s mobile computer workstation carts have helped clients save over $1 billion in cumulative labor costs. DTG guarantees measurable ROI within 12 months or your purchase is fully refunded.

ROI on warehouse computer workstation carts is typically realized within 3–12 months, depending on facility size and deployment scope. DTG guarantees ROI within 12 months or provides a full refund, and many clients achieve payback far sooner. DHL, for example, achieved ROI in just 15 days after deploying DTG mobile workstations in its receiving process.

The ROI comes from several measurable sources:
Reduced motion waste: Eliminating unnecessary walking saves 1–3 hours of productive labor per worker per shift
Faster order fulfillment: Scanning, labeling, and WMS updates happen at the point of pick instead of at a fixed station, increasing picks per hour
Lower error rates: On-the-spot verification reduces mislabeling and mispick rates, which  can significantly improve picking accuracy
Eliminated infrastructure costs: No electrical outlets, extension cords, or fixed station buildouts required
Extended battery lifespan: LFP batteries last 7–10 years with 3,500+ cycles, eliminating the frequent replacement costs of lead-acid systems

DTG’s mobile laptop workstations and mobile computer workstation carts are designed to power any combination of standard warehouse technology, including:
‍
Laptop computers or micro PCs with LCD displays
Thermal label printers, both small-format and large industrial
Document printers
Barcode scanners
RFID readers
Zebra machine vision cameras
Tablets and handheld device charging cradles

The MPower battery system supports configurations ranging from 300Wh (120W output) for standard setups with a laptop and small printer, up to 1,500Wh for demanding configurations running multiple displays, an industrial printer, and a scanner simultaneously. All DTG mobile computer workstations with battery power support hot-swapping to maintain 100% uptime across multi-shift operations.

Battery-powered mobile workstations from DTG are deployed across every major warehouse workflow:
Shipping and receiving: Scan, label, and process inbound and outbound shipments at the dock door without walking to a fixed station. DHL achieved ROI in 15 days using DTG carts for receiving.
Order picking: Mobile picking carts bring scanners, labels, and WMS access directly to the pick face, increasing picks per hour and reducing mispicks.
Inventory management: Perform cycle counts, stock audits, and inventory adjustments on the warehouse floor in real time.
Quality control: DTG’s Machine Vision PowerStation uses Zebra AI-powered cameras for automated inspection at the point of pack.
Supervising: Supervisors use powered mobile carts to monitor workflows, resolve exceptions, and manage labor from anywhere in the facility.
Mobilized assembly: Workbench PowerStations bring tools and technology to assembly tasks in manufacturing and kitting operations.

DTG mobile powered workstations with rechargeable battery systems support all of these applications with up to 24 hours of runtime and hot-swappable batteries for continuous, multi-shift operation.
