The Android migration opportunity
Many businesses are thinking of an Android migration of their systems. Here's rugged computer expert Conrad H. Blickenstorfer's thoughts on the subject.
Thoughts about the rugged computer “drop spec”
In this guest blog, we focus on the importance of drop resistance and have a look at procedures in the new MIL-STD-810H Test Method Standard.
The drone in your future
In this article I will provide a brief overview of drone technology, and the application and impact it may have on field operations. Because, believe it or not, drones may well become part of your job.
Let’s talk about the “drop spec”
In rugged computing circles, the “drop spec” refers to testing a device in accordance with the MIL-STD-810G test standards. But how is it really done?
How bright is your screen? (Lumens, Nits and Watts)
When using a handheld computer or a tablet outdoors, it's really important to see what's on the screen clear enough to actually use the computer.
Why ruggedness testing matters
In this guestblog, the importance of ruggedness testing gets highlighted as well as what you should look for within certain classifications.
Product testing: Why we take things apart
When it comes to tests of rugged computers, many only want to see how much abuse a device can take. But RuggedPCReview rather takes devices apart to look for faults that could indicate on a non-rugged device.
Product Testing: What we look for in handheld device specs
Ruggedness specs should include, as a minimum, what kind of fall a device can survive while it's on, what temperature range it can reliably operate in, how well protected it is against dust and liquids, how much vibration it can handle.
