A rugged tablet pc is a type of tablet that is shock and drop resistant, and it is also water and dust resistant, hence the name rugged tablet.
The cost of a rugged tablet is multifaceted. The first phase requires a lot of investment in research and development costs, mold development costs, and labor costs; later need to invest enough marketing costs, and service fees; in addition, the rugged tablet has “three high a strict” characteristics, but also increased the cost of each tablet.
What is The difference between a rugged tablet PC and an ordinary tablet PC?
Why CHOOSE rugged tablets?
The lack of risk resistance of consumer tablets, in some of the application scenarios of harsher environments, such as easy to drop, high air humidity, dust, and other environments, life will be greatly reduced, in the long run, the cost of anti-risk rather higher.
The stability of the consumer tablet is not enough, which will affect productivity.
Rugged tablet PC can expand a variety of special features, such as wet hand touch, glove touch, BeiDou high-precision positioning, etc. You can also choose to scan head, RFID, NFC, ID card, Ministry of Public Security fingerprints, and many other special modules, which are not available in the consumer tablet. A rugged tablet pc can also be called three proof ruggedized tablet pc.
Emdoor not only has normal windows 7 tablets and even windows 10 rugged tablets, android rugged tablets. They are all three proof ruggedized tablet pc. At the same time, rugged tablets with intel are also provided.
What tests will be done for rugged tablet PC?
Paper tape wear test
It is a test of the wear resistance of the tablet shell, a test of plastic, hardware spraying, silk-screening, and pad printing. After the test is completed, check the test piece coating without oil removal and no exposed substrate is qualified.
Color temperature test
Test the stability of the white point color temperature of the monitor at different brightness, and test the performance of the display color superiority.
Two-dimensional test
Measure the two-dimensional plane size, measure the creepage distance and electrical gap of the circuit board, and the pictures of certain parts are used to analyze the cause of the defect.
Spindle life test
Test the durability of the spindle of the three-proof notebook, an experiment a total of 20,000 times, the end of the test to remove the sample mainly to check its electrical performance, no INT or open circuit and other abnormalities and no open circuit during the test for qualified.
Vibration test
Simulate the harsh environment in transit, vibration with changing frequency, X.Y.Z axis each test a cycle, each cycle 30mins, after the completion of vibration test, check the packaging is not damaged, no damage to the appearance of the solid tablet PC is qualified.
TP drop ball test
Test the screen impact resistance, let the weight of 64g steel ball from 110cm height drop hit the screen, no LCD / touch TP rupture damage, no sharp crack corner is qualified.
Drop test
Verify the drop performance of the tablet, refer to the U.S. military standard 810G standard, under the premise of inserting SIM card / TF card, tablet playback video, let the machine’s 6 sides, 8 corners and 12 angles from 122cm height drop, a total of 26 times.
Roller test
Verify the external force resistance of the rugged tablet PC, according to the U.S. military standard MIL-STD-810F standard for testing, the requirements of the test are completed without rupture, deformation of the shell, the normal functions of the machine, disassembling the machine to check the fastening parts without deformation, broken, loose.
Wet hand glove touch test
Simulate the wet, oily environment and the application scenario of the industrial field where gloves need to be worn to achieve wet hand touch and glove touch function.
Waterproof test
Verify the IP67 waterproof grade, immerse all parts of the product that need airtightness into the water, and keep it for 30 minutes to ensure that the rugged tablet PC does not enter the water.
High temperature and high humidity test
Simulate high temperature and high humidity environment, continuous testing for 4 hours, in the test process, no loss of function when the rugged tablet PC under test is operated, and no abnormalities in the appearance and structure of the prototype after the test is completed as qualified.
What scenarios are rugged tablet PCs used in?
The application field of rugged tablet PC is very wide, can give a basket of examples: intelligent factory, intelligent robot, intelligent storage, ocean-going ships, outdoor inspection, satellite communication, pipeline detection, education, medical, drone control, customs inspection, car maintenance, logistics, oil exploration, military police, mapping, vision system, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, aerospace up to the sky and into the ground, almost everything. I pick two typical cases to say a little.
For example, in the oil exploration, and pipeline measurement process, it is often necessary to use a solid plate control terminal. One is to collect data and transmit data, and the other is to assist in vehicle positioning and navigation, to achieve remote management of personnel, etc.
For example, car detection, as a control terminal, with a rich data interface, can be a rapid analysis of car failure. It also supports real-time data interaction and connects with the cloud platform of major car manufacturers to quickly access the resource base for accurate analysis of different models of cars.
