What is rugged?
Before we discuss the reasons why a ruggedized tablet or touchscreen display are more expensive in the short run but cheaper in the long run, let us define what is rugged or ruggedized.
“A rugged (ruggedized or ruggedised) tablet or touchscreen display is a tablet computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh environments and conditions, such as outside under the sun, where there are constantly strong vibrations, under extreme temperatures and wet or dusty conditions.” Wikipedia
In general, a rugged tablet or small touchscreen display meets the military standards of MIL-STD 810 (harsh environmental conditions) and sometimes MIL-STD 461 (electromagnetic interference). They also have a high Ingress Protection (IP) Rating, which indicates safeguards against solid particulates and liquids.
Some computing platforms are designated “business rugged,” “semi-rugged,” or “having been built to MIL-STD.” These platforms may or may not have rugged features; “semi-rugged” is a marketing, not an engineering term. The only reliable indication of true ruggedness is independent 3rd party testing & certifications of meeting the relevant standards.
Truly rugged tablet or small touchscreen display are built from the ground up with a durable frame, shielded connectors, reinforced corners, and other strengthening/tough features. Some try to ruggedize their tablet or touchscreen displays by buying protective casings or sleeves.
The effectiveness of these casings can be charitably described as “variable.” They may offer some protection, but they do not make your non-rugged computer as reliable as one that has been independently tested and certified to military and ruggedized industry standards that are accepted by your industry or system integration project.
Do you need a rugged tablet computer or rugged LCD monitor or rugged touchscreen display?
Reasons for buying rugged tablet or touchscreen displays include: the breakdown of the “fat server/thin client” model, growing utilization of “mobility” computers for business purposes, distrust of the cloud, need for support/repair services, working in hazardous environments, and more convenient, ever-smaller rugged form factors such as the ones Xenarc Technologies manufactures (7", 8", 9", 10", 12", 15", 18", 24").
Is a rugged tablet or touchscreen display right for you? Before you decide, consider the factors described above:
- Do you work or live in an environment that is likely to subject your mobile device to damaging trauma?
- Do you operate your rugged device indoor/outdoor for business purposes?
- How important is your data? How much do you trust the cloud?
- How valuable is your time? For most businesses, lost productivity, lost data, lack of repair/support, and the need for frequent purchases are more expensive than the initial higher cost of a rugged computer. Is this true for you?
- The DB6 can run full Windows; smartphones usually have limited OS like Windows CE. Do you use business applications that require full Windows environments?
While the above checklist may be helpful, only you can decide if you need a rugged tablet or small touchscreen or small montior display. If you do buy a rugged tablet or small touchscreen or small montior, you will discover that you need not compromise on ease-of-use, mobility, or economy. Whether you’re a soldier in theater, an engineer in the field, or a top executive making billion dollar deals, a fully rugged tablet or touchscreen display provides you the power, convenience, and peace of mind that you require.
