Six Real-Life Rugged Tablet Problems

Rugged tablets are meant to solve problems, not cause them. Unfortunately, real life doesn’t always work that way. You can buy tablets that won’t be a pain-in-the neck. Drawing on 32+ years of experience of selling rugged tablets, AMREL professionals describe six real-life problems and how to avoid them.

Weak Remote
Management

The inability to properly manage remote workers from a central location is a big one. Some rugged tablets are just not designed for this task.

Solution

Look for three key features in your rugged tablet:

1. Multiple wireless connectivity & I/O options
2. Numerous data capture choices
3. Wide coverage Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)

The Sun Shines &
Rain Falls

Nature has no respect for advanced electronic technology. Bright sunlight can wash out your display and render it unreadable. Water can make your touch display unresponsive.

Solution

1. Sunlight readable screen

    Brilliant Display

    – 1000 nits (before touch screen)
    – Optical bonding
       • Reduces sunlight reflection
       • Increases LCD backlight transmission
2. Advanced capacitive touch & digitizer

The Battery Dies

Everyone hates it when their tablet’s battery dies, but it is especially annoying when doing field work at a remote location.

Solution

For field work applications, be sure your tablet:

1. Has a long battery life
2. Is hot swappable
3. Can be charged fast

The Tablet Dies

Rugged tablets aren’t supposed to die! That is the whole reason for their existence!

Too many people have found out that their tablet “ruggedness” is only theoretical. For remote applications, especially ones in which lives are at stake, tablets need to be truly tough.

Solution

1.  Proven & Tested Ruggedness

2.  Don’t take a chance. Make sure your tablet is certified for the following ruggedness standards:

Hard to Use

Some rugged tablets are designed by geniuses so that only another genius can use it. Your end-users have better things to do that fuss with a hard-to-use, overly complicated tablet.

Solution

Make sure your rugged tablet has a user-friendly, intuitive dash utility (dashboard) with a low learning curve and a quick set-up.

No Accessories

Lack of accessories sounds like something that only a fashion model complains about, but proper support equipment can make a real impact on the usefulness of rugged tablets. For example, having a car adapter for charging can make the difference between a wasted trip and a successful work day.

Solution

Before you buy a rugged tablet, check out its full line of accessories. Does it have the support equipment that your application needs?
