The tablet PC is currently mostly used by domestic users in the home or on the move for internet access, media consumption, emailing, gaming and watching films. However, tablet PCs are finding serious applications within industrial and commercial sectors, espcially in the field, where a rugged tablet PC is a key tool used in architectural and construction project delivery.
Less than two years ago there was only the bulky laptop or netbook available for limited access to internet, company files and data needed in the field, especially when fast research was suddenly required. Construction design technology software has rapidly evolved within the office and studio / workshop environment but lacked fast, versatile access on the move or on site.
The field-optimised handheld PC has transformed expectations, performance and communications in the architectural and construction sectors and related large scale urban development industries. Construction field personnel, project managers, general and field superintendents and engineers now have instant available access via their tablet PC for key data operations.
Rugged tablets PCs provide a range of toughened glass screen displays up to 13 in, anti-glare and readable outdoors in bright sunlight. Some large display sizes greater than 10 in at 1024 x 768 pixels supply construction field personnel, such as superintendents and field engineers, enhanced access to vital markup construction documents, such as plans and specifications.
Weighing only around 3 lbs and easily portable, rugged tablets are encased in IP rated, MIL-STD compliant body, both dust and moisture proof. With an extended battery life and integrated communications and components, such as WiFi, Mobile Broadband and Bluetooth, many vital field / outdoor /onsite / on the road communications and data accessing can be quickly and easily carried out.
Undoubtedly, the ability of a rugged handheld computer to stand up to the toughest working conditions of extreme temperatures or to withstand vibrations and impact from force of movement is a highly desirable data-gathering tool to be used in the open air environments of architectural survey, construction and aviation. Rugged tablets are custom built to withstand harsh working conditions to approved IP66 rating and are securely sealed against moisture, dust, mud and other impurities from entering the body of the unit.
In predominantly field based applications, the necessity for possessing instant real-time access to critical information, for example, work ordering or remote parts management, assembly diagrams, project design /spec, and inevitable trouble-shooting provides invaluable, instant decision-making capability to react quickly to unforeseen project developments.
 
Designed for field service application, rugged tablet PCs will simplify tasks and provide instantaneous access to critical information where,previously, this was not possible. No working day is alike, so fast, easy access to an operation standardisation application available through field service software will streamline workflow solutions, even under the most unpredictable of circumstances.
Rugged tablet PCs are the indispensable, robust but flexible and versatile connection between base and field. They facilitate essential communication and multi-data access between a formerly unavailable or disparate and time-constrained project management and workforce, customer and client.
