Applications of Rugged Computing Solutions:
- Automotive Industry: This industry is always an early adopter of innovative technologies. When it comes to rugged solutions, this industry always uses best-in-class devices. The automobile manufacturing plants are always in need of technology that is tough, agile, and simple to use. These plants have a very harsh environment, the temperature varies wildly, machine parts violently whip around, and the air is always chocked with metal shavings, dust, and dirt.
- Oil & Gas Industry: The process of extraction of petroleum consists of upstream, midstream, and downstream components. Each of these components uses industrial computers that are tested and approved for hazardous environments. Different types of these devices are used for extraction, processing, and distribution.
- Military: Rugged computers used in military operations are built to withstand unique environmental and physical requirements. These technologies must be so tough that they must withstand bad weather, data loss events, physical impact and vibration, shocks, etc.
- Healthcare: Rugged Tablets and Rugged Laptops have industrial applications but the healthcare industry has found various use cases for these rugged devices. On daily basis, healthcare professionals are very busy and most of the time situations are so tense that they would need to act fast. During these situations, there are accidental drops of computers or spills can happen. This is where this industry needs rugged solutions. Today, with the rise of mobile ICUs, the demand for rugged tablets has increased mobile units.
There are many other industries that demand these technologies in order to save cost and data. The utility industry, Law Enforcement, Air force, Waste Management, and Construction industries are the heavy users of these solutions.
