FAQ on Rugged Tablets

A rugged tablet is a mobile tablet specifically engineered for use in harsh environments. Unlike consumer tablets, it features reinforced enclosures, increased protection classes (e.g., IP65/IP67), drop and vibration protection, and is suitable for industrial or outdoor use.

Rugged tablets are used for mobile data acquisition, process visualization, and control in demanding environments. Typical applications include: Manufacturing, logistics, field service, construction and assembly, warehouse management, or vehicle integration – anywhere standard tablets quickly fail.

Rugged tablets are significantly more durable, long-lasting, and designed for continuous use under challenging conditions. They offer higher protection ratings against dust and water, are more resistant to drops, impacts, vibration, and extreme temperatures – which reduces their failure and maintenance costs.

Important criteria are: Protection class (e.g., IP65, IP67), drop and vibration certifications (e.g., MIL-STD-810), display brightness (for outdoor use), touch mode (glove, rain), variety of ports, and wireless modules. For example, outdoor tablets often need to offer a brightness of $>1000$ nits and function with glove operation.

Typical protection classes include IP65 (dust-tight, protected against water jets) or IP67 (dust-tight, protected against temporary immersion). Many rugged tablets also meet military standards such as MIL-STD-810G or MIL-STD-810H for drop and vibration resistance.

For rugged use, touchscreens are required that function with gloves, in wet conditions, or rain. Outdoor use necessitates high brightness and often anti-reflective displays. Furthermore, robust glass like Gorilla Glass is common.

Rugged tablets can be used as handheld/carrying devices, built into vehicles or machinery via a docking station, or mounted on arms. Mounting options such as VESA, carrying straps, or tethering attachments are possible – depending on the application.

Rugged tablets typically support Android, Windows, or specialized Embedded OS. They are suitable for software solutions such as logistics apps, maintenance, IoT edge applications, or machine operation.

Rugged tablets are designed for multi-year use, with robust components, extended support, and spare parts availability. This makes them more long-term investment-proof than consumer devices, which often only last a few years.

Yes – many models offer configuration options for display size, wireless modules (LTE, 5G, GPS), interfaces (USB, RS-232, CAN), accessory equipment (scanner, RFID), or batteries with hot-swap capability. This allows them to be optimally adapted to specific usage scenarios.
