What Is an Industrial Tablet PC?

An industrial tablet PC is a computer with a touch screen, designed for portable use and industrial operating conditions. Unlike standard tablets, depending on the model, it can be more resistant to shocks, vibration, dust, water and wide temperature ranges.

Industrial tablets are used in applications such as field service, warehouse management, production tracking, logistics, maintenance operations and mobile data collection. Features such as a barcode reader, RFID reader, camera and wireless communication may be available on some models.

What should you consider when choosing an industrial tablet?

• Screen size, brightness and touch characteristics
• Processor, RAM and storage capacity
• Battery life and charging method
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular connectivity and GPS requirements
• IP protection rating and shock resistance
• Compatibility with the software and operating system to be used

When choosing an industrial tablet, not only durability but also the performance and connectivity features the application needs should be evaluated.
