The rugged vehicle computer is no longer a theory or a good idea. Instead, it’s a fact that governs the performance of nearly all vehicles made today
It sounds like a contradiction in terms: a rugged tablet PC. After all, these machines are comprised of tiny electronic circuits, microscopic memory packages and screens based on countless thousands of LED particles to display colour.
When buying a rugged PDA, one must consider the trade-offs between price and performance
Rugged PC owners know that this kind of machine offers real benefits that can make a huge difference. For example, did you know that static charges can fry the internal circuits of a PC? It’s true—but not for a rugged machine.
The rugged panel PC is not commonly known outside of industrial settings, but can be quite important in industrial applications.
Rugged notebook computers are often dismissed as fancy rich man’s toys, or things only of interest to the military and military fanciers. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that such notebook computers offer significant advantages even for the regular working person who has one.
A rugged mobile phone is not something to which most people give their attention in any serious manner. Yet, when one accidentally drops such a phone five feet onto concrete and it is not only externally undamaged but works just fine as well, one may stop to wonder
When people think of a rugged laptop, many think of something to take into a wilderness expedition or the like.
The realities of having a rugged hard drive are a lot more practical and worthy of serious consideration.
People who consider a rugged computer generally think of a tablet or notebook machine; sometimes a PDA or even a smart phone.
A rugged car computer isn’t something one thinks about, yet it’s an absolutely essential component of modern driving.
The default colour of a military tablet PC is green rather than silver or black, and optionally comes with a military power supply rather than a standard household power supply, but are those the only differences? No. The primary thing that makes a tablet PC qualify for the military label is that it conforms to the MIL-STD 461E standard.
It seems obvious that military personnel would use military computers, and non-military personnel would use commercially available computers.
Soldiers and other military personnel need electronics equipment they can rely on regardless of the weather, terrain, or potential battlefield conditions
An in-vehicle computer is an aftermarket computer system that is integrated into the vehicle itself. These systems are used by fire departments, police departments, and emergency medical services.
GIS software is not a topic of casual conversation, at least outside of certain academic and corporate circles. Nevertheless, it governs a surprising range of human activities that are important to our well-being, from transportation to resource development.
GIS hardware is the physical component of a total GIS system. GIS systems are known as geographic information systems. They are designed to capture, store and analyse what is known as geographical data.
Field mobility solutions are not something most people think much about, if at all. Yet they have a vital if little understood importance to the average person’s life.
Field mobility software is a complex sounding phrase that actually refers to something quite common in everyday life. It’s a class of software that governs innumerable decisions made every day by millions of persons when commuting, making deliveries, traveling to appointments, and in general conducting commerce whenever the commerce requires travel.
Electronic forms software has made our lives easier in many, many ways. For example, it is now possible to fill out a complete application for insurance, medical care, employment and the like by typing on the computer and using automatic form filling software that obviates the traditional need to type repetitive information by hand. Now, one can simply have all of this information, whether it be resume information, medical history or the like in one’s own personal computer and then copy and paste it as desirable when filling out forms.
Data collection software is used by people who administer surveys or other large projects that require collecting volumes of similar data from vast numbers of people such as census reports or political polling. There are many software solutions that help to track and administer the questions and answers required by these large projects. However the data collection is a separate piece from either of those aspects.
If you routinely use a laptop in the passenger seat of a vehicle while someone else is driving, or keep your laptop open on the passenger seat while you drive, you know the dangers of rough roads, sudden stops, and sharp turns. Keeping your laptop safely inside a vehicle computer mounting can save it from disaster.
The first thing to know when installing vehicle computer mounts for passenger seat use is that newer mounts are designed to work with the existing rails and bolts in your vehicle which vary by manufacturer and model. As a result, you cannot get a single computer mount that will work in all vehicles.
Dashboard computer mounts seem like they answer a huge problem for users that change vehicles frequently. Unlike standard vehicle computer mounts, which need to be specifically ordered for the make and model of vehicle in which they will be installed, mounts for the dashboard will fit in any vehicle.
Computer vehicle mounts are used to protect your laptop, netbook, or handheld device from shocks due to rough terrain and keep it from flying about the vehicle in the case of sudden stops or sharp turns. Since this is a very important task, it’s necessary to choose the correct mount.
A clean room tablet PC is a special case. Unlike a conventional tablet PC, it absolutely must not emit any particulate matter into the air. On the other hand, unlike a stationary clean room PC this one will be mobile and this poses special challenges. It cannot be easily sealed against the environment by enclosing it within a sealed case or shrink wrapping its interface.
Clean room computers are a special breed of computers. They operate in environments where any pollutants or particles whatsoever must be prohibited. While ordinary computers must be protected from ambient pollution such as dust and pollen, with clean room computers the reverse is generally true.
