Rugged

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.

This makes it the ideal device for mobile communications at dangerous job sites where traditional devices represent major safety hazards.

If you’re thinking about investing in rugged technology for the first time, the chances are that you might have heard some of the myths and misconceptions about what rugged is and isn’t. You might think that it’s heavy and bulky to carry around or that rugged devices cost more than comparable consumer devices without being that different. But before you jump to any conclusions, you need to have the facts. We know rugged technology practically better than anyone, and we’ll set you straight with the facts.

As more and more functions in industry and the workplace become computerised, the use of rugged technology across a wide range of applications has become the norm.

Certainly, there’s no denying that rugged computing products often cost more money than their off-the-shelf counterparts – but the moment you start taking your equipment outside the normal office environment, you’ll find that this extra cost will pay off in the long run.

If you’re looking for the ideal keyboards for industrial applications, the iKey 5K series should be right at the top of your list. These are the No1 rugged keyboards for use in hazardous and harsh environments and they come with a range of specifications and functions to suit every requirement.

Ever since people started to use technology onsite or on the move, there has been a need for rugged versions – but in the early days these were clunky and heavy, and didn’t keep up with state-of-the-art consumer technology. Now that’s all changed and you can find fully rugged pieces of equipment that are every bit as stylish and futuristic as their consumer equivalents.

When you’re looking at rugged technology and trying to decide which device will be right for the job, you’ve probably come across IP ratings – the letters IP, followed by a number, for example IP65 or IP67. So what exactly do they mean and how much notice should you take of them?
