Rugged Products

If you’re looking for a motion control system for embedding in factory production applications, we’d suggest taking a look at the MAI602-M4D80 from iBASE. This has been designed for use in a number of manufacturing processes such as automated optical inspection, semiconductor wafer handling, packaging and material handling systems. But don’t just take our word for it – check out the specifications below.

When lives depend on it, maritime ICT needs to be robust, fit for purpose and durable. There are no spare parts depots in the middle of the ocean and if your technology fails it can put your crew in danger.

Forklift trucks are the driving force behind effective warehouse logistics – and if you operate a forklift fleet, rugged onboard computers are an absolute necessity

When it comes to choosing a medical keyboard, it’s certainly not a matter of one size fits all. At Rugged, we stock a wide range of different medical keyboards, and while they all comply with the essentials – fully sealed, waterproof, robust and easily cleanable – there are different levels of functionality, different layouts and different materials to choose between.

In sectors such as the military, marine, industrial and energy, harsh environments demand the most robust equipment. Dirt, dust, moisture, vibration and knocks mean that consumer-grade technology simply isn’t up to the job, and when it comes to displays, you need to know that they’re not going to crack under pressure.

Finding joysticks that can withstand the rigours of harsh industrial and environmental conditions can present a challenge. You’re looking for the ideal combination – on the one hand they need to be tough and resilient to the conditions, but on the other, they need to offer precise control and accurate movement. Our recommendation would be to take a look the Megatron range of rugged and industrial joysticks – with over 37 designs to choose from, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

Technology never stands still, and rugged technology is no exception to this. Rugged devices continue to evolve quickly and with each new innovation they become more effective and efficient for working in the most hostile of environments. New levels of functionality combined with a lower cost of ownership are making rugged computing not only more accessible but also more desirable.

There’s nothing worse than production grinding to halt because of a problem with your computer system. Finding a fix takes time and money – but the real cost is the resulting business disruption. Your operation might be held up for an hour or for a day. It will hit your bottom line and you could also lose customers as a result of the failure. In this post, we’ll take a look at the types of cost you are likely to incur and how you can avoid them.
