Rugged Mobile Computing Redefined: How To Maximize Business Efficiency With Modern Solutions

For mission-critical field applications, mobile computing solutions are a key part of ensuring that employees at the very edge of the enterprise can maintain their productivity whether they are in a vehicle, working at a re- mote customer site, or repairing equipment in harsh weather conditions.

Maximizing productivity in these challenging work environments is not easy, and that’s why selecting the right mobile computing solution is crucial. It’s not enough to simply hand your workers or technicians any mobile device; if the hardware can’t operate reliably in their typical work environment, they might as well be working with pen and paper.

Without reliable mobile technology, front-line employees will face a number of challenges. For technicians working in remote areas — utility or telecom employees work- ing on rural assets; technicians repairing equipment on an offshore oil platform; airline ground crews fixing an airplane on a runway far from the terminal — mobile computers are essential tools to provide visibility into work order information and repair history, and generate real-time updates for managers and customers.
