Hazardous Environments Digitalization: Strategies for Efficiently Transforming Rugged Tablet Use
Durabook Unveils Rugged, ATEX-Certified Tablets for Hazardous Industries
Durabook, a subsidiary of Twinhead International Corp. based in Taiwan, has announced the launch of two new tablets designed specifically for use in potentially explosive areas within the process industry. The U11I-EX and R8-EX tablets offer a range of features aimed at enhancing safety and productivity in tasks such as maintenance, plant inspection, and logistics.
The U11I-EX boasts a larger 11.6-inch display, more computing power, and numerous connectivity options including Thunderbolt 4. The R8-EX, on the other hand, features an 8-inch display, is light and compact, and offers powerful 12th generation Intel Core processors with a battery life of up to 16 hours.
Both tablets are ATEX Zone 2/22 certified, guaranteeing no ignition sources, hot surfaces, or electrical discharges in potentially explosive atmospheres. They also comply with the military standard MIL-STD-810H, are IP66 certified, can withstand drops from heights of up to 1.8 meters, and function reliably at extreme temperatures between -29 °C and +63 °C.
In addition to their ATEX certification, the tablets feature a fanless design for added security in hazardous areas. They also use Durabook's Coolfinity Technology to reduce the risk of explosion and Coolfinity thermal solution for passive cooling, dissipating heat via the housing.
The chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which prioritise digitalization to address a skills shortage and remain competitive, are particularly well-suited for these durable tablets. Durabook's proprietary DynaVue® technology ensures high screen brightness for optimal readability in various lighting conditions, making the tablets ideal for use in factories and plants.
Hot-swappable batteries in Durabook tablets enable continuous operation in multi-shift scenarios, while the extensive interfaces such as USB 3.2, LAN, RS232, HDMI, and optional barcode scanners facilitate seamless integration into existing systems.
Special devices are required for use in ATEX zones to offer external support, record and retrieve critical information, and perform diagnostics with high accuracy. Durabook's tablets, with their robust design and advanced features, are well-equipped to meet these needs.
In conclusion, Durabook's new tablets, the U11I-EX and R8-EX, offer a reliable solution for industries seeking to digitize their operations in potentially explosive areas. With their ATEX certification, fanless design, and advanced features, these tablets are set to revolutionize safety and productivity in the process industry.
