Durability, Mobility, And Security: Samsung Highlights The Advancement Of Rugged Devices In Field Operations

With a three-year warranty and integration into the Samsung ecosystem, the solutions support the digitization of operations in logistics, construction, retail, and industry.

Mexico City /PRNewswire/ - Digital transformation in the corporate environment has already moved beyond offices and administrative centers. In sectors such as logistics, construction, services, retail, and manufacturing, mobility is an essential part of operations, demanding devices prepared for outdoor environments, intense routines, and critical field activities. In this scenario, Samsung's Galaxy Rugged line is gaining ground among Latin American companies seeking greater connectivity, productivity, and operational continuity.

Technology designed for extreme conditions
According to recent studies, the rugged device market has grown globally. Considering only tablets in this category, Fortune Business Insights ^{[ 1 ]} indicates that this growth should reach approximately $946 million, driven primarily by sectors such as logistics, construction, retail, services, and manufacturing.

Currently, Samsung's portfolio includes solutions such as the Galaxy XCover7 smartphone and the Galaxy Tab Active5 and Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablets ^{[ 2 ]}. In addition to physical durability, one of the line's differentiators is the three-year warranty offered by Samsung for the devices, providing greater predictability for companies that rely on continuously available equipment in their operations.

"Corporate mobility is no longer restricted to the office environment. Today, field teams, regardless of the sector in which they operate, need devices prepared for intensive, connected, and increasingly digital operations. The Rugged line responds to this need, offering durability, security, and integration with the Samsung ecosystem to guarantee operational continuity even in the most challenging environments," says André Peixoto, Senior Director of Integrated B2B Offering for Samsung Latin America.

Unlike conventional models, Samsung's rugged devices are designed to withstand drops, dust, humidity, vibrations, and temperature variations, offering greater durability for extended field use. They can also be operated with gloves, feature removable batteries, and are compatible with accessories specifically designed for industrial and corporate environments.

How rugged devices can support different industries
In practice, these devices can be used in various corporate scenarios:

• In logistics operations: they help transport and warehouse teams maintain real-time tracking and communication.
• In construction: they support inspections, report preparation and monitoring of works directly in the field.
• In the field services and inspection sector: they allow remote access to information and systems even in external or hard-to-reach environments

Secure information and communication, regardless of location
In addition to its physical durability, another key differentiator is its integration with Samsung's enterprise solutions. With resources like Samsung Knox Suite, a platform developed for managing and protecting corporate devices, companies can perform remote configurations, monitoring, application control, system updates, and large-scale security policy enforcement, simplifying the management of devices used in the field.

"Ruggedness is only one part of the equation. What companies are looking for today is a device that can integrate mobility, connectivity, management, and security into a single solution. That's why, when combined with the Samsung ecosystem, Rugged devices help companies reduce operational disruptions, improve communication between teams, and increase efficiency in different types of operations," Peixoto emphasizes.

With a portfolio geared towards the corporate market, Samsung seeks to position Rugged Devices as part of a broader enterprise mobility strategy, connecting hardware, security, management and productivity in different sectors of the economy.
