Rugged Tablets
Rugged terminals and tablets for field operations, vehicles, plants and demanding environments.
Overview
Rugged tablet use cases
Rugged tablets give field and plant teams a large screen for forms, drawings and maps in conditions that would damage a consumer device: heat, dust, vibration, rain and drops.
Requirements such as outdoor-readable screens, glove use, vehicle mounting and hazardous-area certification are reviewed against the site before options are coordinated with technology partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
01What makes a tablet rugged?
A rugged tablet is engineered to withstand drops, dust, water and temperature extremes, stated by the manufacturer through IP ratings, drop and vibration specifications. It typically also offers a sunlight-readable screen, hot-swappable or long-life batteries and docking accessories.
02Can rugged tablets be used in hazardous areas?
Only devices specifically certified for the relevant hazardous-area classification may be used there. Certification must be confirmed against the official certificate for the exact model and the site classification.
