WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization
technologies, today announced that one of Latin America’s Top 10
airlines has selected the ToughWriter® 640 narrow format flight deck
printer for its future fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
“This latest commitment from one of the largest airlines in Latin
America is a great endorsement of the many operational benefits provided
by our new narrow format ToughWriter printers,” said AstroNova President
and CEO Greg Woods.
The ToughWriter 640 brings several performance and operational benefits
to the B737 aircraft. Compared with competitive offerings, the
ToughWriter 640 provides a weight reduction of nearly 50 percent, a
significant improvement in reliability, lower power consumption and a
compact form factor. The ToughWriter 640 offers a number of industry
firsts, including full graphical printing and Ethernet connectivity.
AstroNova announced the addition of the ToughWriter 640 to the B737
catalog in April. The ToughWriter 640 is used to print flight planning
data, ground communications and messages transmitted over the ACARS
digital datalink system. AstroNova is scheduled to begin delivering the
printer to Boeing early in 2018.
