Why we need rugged laptops, tablets and pc’s in a digital economy?

Status updates, consultation at the construction site, requesting technical plans and response on the basis of real-time changes have become commonplace. In addition, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) will ensure a subsequent explosion of data and opportunities. But is the standard equipment suitable for the ever increasing use of devices outside office walls? Think of, for instance, service engineers, construction personnel en what about couriers who need to use these devices on a daily basis. These profession are in need of solid materials, also for their communication. The enhanced computers by Getac were developed especially for these types of operations.

Common Smartphones and tablets too vulnerable for tougher tasks

In the workplace, laptops, tablets or mobile phones are often affected by harsh working conditions. Dust, moisture, shocks and even dropping. The vulnerable smartphones and tablets have a hard time coping with that. Dropping such devices once is often enough to have them depreciated, which makes them a rather high cost resource for a company. When exposed to sunlight, the screen can hardly be read. And last, but not least: is it sensible to have them used by people who have their hands full most of the time, or need to work in laborious conditions? It is likely that the equipment will fall short. Providing a laptop, tablet or mobile with a shock absorbing piece of rubber is an often applied resource, yet it won’t suffice for the rugged user and is certainly no competition for Getac equipment, which can be delivered by Microtron. The Getac devices therefore are a suitable alternative. The functionalities are similar, for daily use. Just like a smartphone, the rugged computers by Getac are fitted with fast wireless connectivity and ensure convenient use.

Ideal for servicemen, couriers and builders

With the rise of remote data communication, also the demand for rugged pc’s is increasing. Service engineers are always available, thanks to their enhanced tablets and they can pass on real-time information. Their customers receive a notice stating an estimated time of arrival. Thanks to a reinforced computer, which is being taken everywhere, the technicians are able to ensure immediate updates of, for instance, electronic home appliances.

Couriers will take similar actions when passing on delivery notes. With an enhanced mobile at hand, they can request a digital signature from the customer after which the administrative handling is automatically carried out within the system.

Inspectors on-site will be able to instantly enter their findings and synchronize with the back-office systems. A builder or engineer carrying out excavation work on streets or public places, can request digital maps from the government, while on the work location. This way they make sure that they start working in the right place, being able to effectively lay the cables and connect the tubes. Also this is a prefect method to prevent hitting gas pipelines or water mains, which unfortunately still too often happens.

Rugged pc’s with docking stations

Considering effectivity is no longer required. The joint service provided by Microtron and Getac ensures peace of mind, certainty, time gain and of course a clear ROI. The devices have a three year warranty. Also there is the possibility to connect the rugged pc’s to docking stations, which can be built into the vehicles. Are you seeking assurance and the guarantee that your business projects can continue uninterrupted, while being outdoors as well? Then by all means, check the customised possibilities that the rugged computers have to offer!
