In the dynamic landscape of industrial IoT (IIoT) and edge computing, reliability and durability are non-negotiable. This is particularly true when deploying systems in harsh environments where traditional consumer-grade devices would quickly fail. At GITEX Asia & Japan IT Week 2026, ONERUGGED showcased their lineup of rugged tablet PCs, emphasizing their ability to withstand extreme conditions while delivering robust performance.
Dusty Workspaces IP65 Rating
Dust and debris are common in manufacturing and construction sites, posing significant risks to electronic devices. The IP65 rating of ONERUGGED's tablets ensures that they can handle dust ingress and water jets without malfunction. This makes them ideal for environments where cleanliness is not always guaranteed.
Thermal Throttling MIL-STD-810H Certification
Thermal throttling can severely impact the performance of devices in high-temperature settings. ONERUGGED's tablets meet the MIL-STD-810H standard, which includes rigorous testing for temperature extremes. This ensures that the devices maintain optimal performance even in challenging climates.
Vibration-Resistant ISO-Certified Mounts
Vibration is a common issue in transportation and logistics industries, where vehicles and machinery operate in constant motion. The ISO-certified mounts of ONERUGGED's tablets provide robust protection against vibration, ensuring uninterrupted operation during transit.
Explosion-Proof Capabilities for Hazardous Zones
Working in hazardous zones requires specialized equipment to prevent explosions. ONERUGGED's T1 tablet is equipped with explosion-proof capabilities, making it suitable for use in chemical plants and other high-risk areas. This feature ensures both safety and operational efficiency.
