SteelCloud 'Delivers' for the U.S. Postal Service

SteelCloud, Inc., a manufacturer of embedded integrated computing systems, announced today it successfully completed the October 2007 delivery of more than 1,600 ruggedized systems as part of its approximately USD 8 million contract with the United States Postal Service. The U.S. Postal Service Flats Recognition Improvement Program (FRIP) required SteelCloud to design, manufacture and ship embedded integrated computing systems that incorporate upgraded processing capability as well as active cooling and filtration techniques into the chassis in order to cope with significant industrial environment intrusion such as mail nap, paper dust and heat. In addition, the SteelCloud specialized servers were designed to withstand shock and vibration normally found in industrial automation applications.

“This was a significant accomplishment of our Engineering and Manufacturing Teams over a very short period of time. The recent delivery of our very reliable ruggedized systems is the latest chapter in our ongoing commitment to the U.S. Postal Service. Over the last several years SteelCloud has delivered over 25,000 purpose-built ruggedized servers in support of multiple postal automation applications within the United States Postal Service,” said Robert Frick, SteelCloud president and CEO. “Successful execution of this challenging project is a testament to our ISO certified Quality Management System and our program lifecycle management process which distinguishes SteelCloud from its competitors.”
