Choosing the Right Rugged Tablet for Your Industry

1. What type of data will we need to collect?

2. Do we need to track assets and how (barcode, RFID, NFC)?

3. Will the devise be used indoors, outdoors or both?

4. Will a continuous battery be necessary?

5. What wireless communications features will we need? GPS, Bluetooth, LTE?

Once you''ve answered these, it''s a matter of deciding on form factor, operating system, and taking into account the environment in which the tablet will be used.

These are two industrial-grade, rugged tablets that look virtually identical to each other, but are really very different in terms of hardware features and software functionality.

More durable than consumer grade tablets, these 7-inch rugged tablets are built to withstand the harsh industrial environment, surviving drops, liquids, dust, and extreme temperature.
