Tablets, since their inception, have blurred the line between toy and tool, novelty and necessity. Even high-end consumer products from famous manufacturers are meant to be half computing portal, and half fashion accessory. Despite being caught up in the crossroads between the desktop PC and the smart phone, the tablet has become a keystone for work place efficiency. By offering a grip into the computing world, tablets have become a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective way to bring connectivity into the hands of employees.
The tablet offers many advantages over its extended family of phones, PDAs, PCs and eReaders. First and foremost is price. There is an immense amount of flexibility in the pricing of tablets, and solid performance can be found across the spectrum. Low priced tablets are great for basic functions like data management, while high end devices can do everything that a comparable laptop can do, but with longer battery life and more portability. This ability to drive productivity on the go has given tablet use a major boost in certain industries. Industrial manufacturing, restaurants, retail, and military are all examples of the wide variety of professional applications that a tablet is suitable for.Outdoor use, by trades from oil riggers to policemen, is a variable that many tablet manufacturers fail to prepare for. Standard tablets offer very limited protection against the elements, and may be unusable in certain predicaments like a rain or dust storm. Because of these limitations, AGDisplays has introduced a portfolio of ruggedized tablets available for use in non-standard situations. These tablets offer all of the specifications of high-end consumer tablets, but with the addition of features that not only protect the device, but extend its lifespan, and expand its capabilities as well. Some of these features, like military grade components, shock and drop testing, and ingress ratings let a ruggedized tablet far exceed the capabilities of a normal “off the shelf” device. These enhancements are developed through months to years of laboratory research and testing, and have a longer overall product lifespan and production cycle than the average 6-month release cycle of consumer tablets. This means that even with a higher potential initial cost, the extra protection and reliability can mean considerable savings in the long run.
AGDisplays rugged tablets have a wide range of potential applications. Our tablets can be used as industrial machine controls, point-of-sale customer interaction, handheld GPS and for real time communication in the field by public workers, police, EMS, and military. Available VESA mounting means there are many standard mounting options, from vehicle dashboards to tabletop brackets, and the ability to pair a new or familiar operating system with the superior durability of a rugged tablet gives access to critical computing power in crucial situations. Our rugged tablets not only give the user the ability to input and track information on the go, but also to access that information on the fly and share it with other workers in the field. Quick communication is key in many environments, and a rugged tablet brings that access right to your fingertips.
Many of our ruggedized tablets feature a modern Windows operating system, which is not only flexible in its potential applications, but easily integrated into existing systems.Other models feature Android OS, which is a reliable interface that can be mastered quickly by the user. Many of our models feature waterproofing, scratch resistance and protective rubber shells, while others forgo some of the more extreme defense in favor of smaller size or lower price. Finding the right tablet for your application is as easy as visiting our website store.agdisplays.com and comparing for yourself!
