Overview & Product Guide
What is Rugged Computing?
Rugged computing is a computer specifically designed to reliably operate
in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as
- Drops and shocks
- Strong vibrations
- Extreme temperatures
- Liquid spills
- Dust
Truly rugged computing devices are engineered, inside and out, to
operate in a range of hostile environments. Their design encompasses
the external housing, internal components, special coatings, and seals
among others allowing them to function correctly in operating environments
ranging from challenging to extreme.
Drop |
The operator
drops the computer from chest height (when holding the device
in the crook of the arm) while collecting or processing
data. (Free Drop) |
Shock |
The operator drops the computer from
chest height (when holding the device in the crook of the
arm) while collecting or processing data. The operator accidentally
drops the computer while moving between work areas as part
of a daily routine.
The computer sustains unexpected force when mounted in a
vehicle and that vehicle is involved in a collision or the
computer is struck when in operation. |
Vibration |
The computer is constantly
shaken from the low level vibration associated with engine
noise while mounted in vehicle (car, truck, fork lift)
The computer is exposed to vibration extremes as part
of everyday use ie. bumpy or unpaved roads, speed bumps
etc. |
Temperature |
The computer is used by
operators in all kind of variable temperature environments
for instance if may be left sitting mounted in a vehicle
with summer sun beating in while the operator is at lunch.
It must resume operation when the operator returns to the
vehicle. |
Liquid
spills Dust |
The computer is used to
complete mission critical tasks in varying environments
that include rain or dusty works sites such as paper mills,
industrial warehouses or construction sites.
