As technology impacts more and more in our lives, the need for screens to get jobs done efficiently seems to be growing exponentially as time goes. We’ve moved from huge power devices to a smartphone that can fit perfectly in our pockets.
Though, the durability of mobile devices nowadays is an important area of concern, especially for most business industries. Therefore, it is important for companies operating in severe conditions like in the manufacturing, oil, or mining industry to build and utilized rugged devices.
There are different types of rugged devices, like rugged tablets or rugged laptops, but let’s just talk about the handheld. These devices are used for real-time communications and applications solutions. These devices will have many features and functions integrated, making them a one-piece mobile solution.
But if you’re still not convinced, take a look at more of the benefits of rugged handheld.
- Portability, Connectivity and High Performance
Handhelds are like mobile phones. We are all aware that mobile phones these days are on the high spectrum when it comes to mobility.
For example, in the manufacturing industry, all components of a company must be informed about everything with one another. They need to know which items are available, which ones are out of stock, which orders are still in the delivery process, etc. They all need to stay on continuous updates at various touchpoints with real-time information.
With the compact design of the handheld, users can stay connected at all times. In this way, businesses save time when accessing real-time data and running projects.
- Unique Features
Many rugged tablets now come with unique features not found in regular devices such as barcode scanning, fingerprint reading and much more. These advantageous features make rugged handhelds the ideal device for business use.
- Durability and Longevity
This benefit may be the most evident one. Rugged handhelds allow businesses to stay connected, respond to real-time online data, scan barcodes and other business stuff even in meticulous environments and tough conditions where the device will be dropping, exposed to elevated areas, water or in extreme temperatures.
Rugged handhelds also continue performing even past their lifespan because they contain a tough internal system.
When it comes to battery, these devices resemble the old days when those Nokia mobile phones had weeks of battery life. Businesses can enjoy an extremely long service life from the devices.
