Beastly good: Basel Zoo and the WINDBOX III Advanced

Task

In a zoo as unique as Basel, it doesn't get boring very quickly.
But that doesn't just apply to the millions of visitors. There is a lot for the employees and helpers of the Zolli to do on an area of almost 16 soccer pitches. Day and night. From documentation work to organizational matters and animal care. It goes without saying that the latter in particular is a top priority in the zoological garden. Twenty-four hours a day, keepers read every wish from the eyes of the Zolli's animal inhabitants and ensure that they want for nothing. The staff are supported by security cameras, among other things, which allow the keepers to keep an eye on their animals around the clock. In this case, heavy-duty industrial PCs are used to control the cameras. They are able to keep a cool head, or cool hardware as in this case, even in tropical climates in enclosures.

Product solution

The spo-book WINDBOX III Advanced: The mini PC not only ensures sufficient security at Basel Zoo, but is also used as a time recording unit and for everyday office purposes. In its robust metal housing, the passively cooled system feels right at home even in the somewhat warmer and sometimes humid enclosures of the Zolli. An i5 processor with Broadwell core and up to 2.7 gigahertz, a RAM capacity of up to 16 gigabytes and a wide range of interfaces make the spo-book WINDBOX III Advanced a flexible contemporary.

Conclusion

The cooperation with Basel Zoo is a special kind of experience for spo-comm GmbH - also for the spo-book WINDBOX III Advanced. After all, who has the opportunity to see an elephant enclosure from the inside?
