Why We Don't Fear Customization Requests: The Making Of The World's Most Rugged Tablets

By Todd McCracken, Xplore Technologies

Xplore has always been focused on serving the “walking while working” mobile customers. That has taught us a lot over the last 15 years about what is needed for service techs, manufacturing and logistics workers, public safety officers and even military personnel to do their jobs effectively on the front lines.

We’ve learned that any slate tablet we develop must be rugged, mobile, readable in sunlight, and able to withstand rain, dust and extreme hot and cold temperatures. We’ve been driven by customer feedback to make everything from the fully rugged R12 to the ultra rugged XC6, and many variations in between. We have added lots of standard I/O on our tablets, and introduced lots of accessories to support the individual needs of our customers.

And because we have not settled with a one-size-fits-all approach to rugged mobility, Xplore now offers the widest range of rugged tablets in the industry and the most rugged tablets on earth.

Because we have listened to our customers consistently for 15 years, our tablets’ features are better aligned to meet their needs than any other lineup in the industry. That is also why, in most cases, our customers find a perfect fit for their workflow with one of our many existing tablet architectures. But not always.
