What is Rugged Computing?

 

A rugged computing is a computer specifically designed to reliably operate in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as

  • Drops and shocks
  • Strong vibrations
  • Extreme temperatures
  • Liquid spills
  • Dust
 

Truly rugged computing devices are engineered, inside and out, to operate in a range of hostile environments. Their design encompasses the external housing, internal components, special coatings, and seals among others allowing them to function correctly in operating environments ranging from challenging to extreme.


Drop
The operator drops the computer from chest height (when holding the device in the crook of the arm) while collecting or processing data. (Free Drop)
Shock
The operator drops the computer from chest height (when holding the device in the crook of the arm) while collecting or processing data. The operator accidentally drops the computer while moving between work areas as part of a daily routine.
The computer sustains unexpected force when mounted in a vehicle and that vehicle is involved in a collision or the computer is struck when in operation.
Vibration

The computer is constantly shaken from the low level vibration associated with engine noise while mounted in vehicle (car, truck, fork lift)
The computer is exposed to vibration extremes as part of everyday use ie. bumpy or unpaved roads, speed bumps etc.

Temperature
The computer is used by operators in all kind of variable temperature environments for instance if may be left sitting mounted in a vehicle with summer sun beating in while the operator is at lunch. It must resume operation when the operator returns to the vehicle.
Liquid spills Dust
The computer is used to complete mission critical tasks in varying environments that include rain or dusty works sites such as paper mills, industrial warehouses or construction sites.
