Rugged Tablet for Field Use
Xplore Technologies recently launched its latest rugged tablet, the XSLATE R12, what it calls a “next generation detachable rugged tablet PC.” Xplore incorporated specific customer feedback into its 12.5″ rugged tablet design to deliver a new mobility solution that is both powerful and reliable for public safety, manufacturing, utility, insurance and construction industry professionals. The optional SlateMate module with a Barcode Scanner, HF RFID reader and serial port will provide integrated functionality that will boost the productivity of the user. Having these capabilities included with the tablet means not having to carry additional data collection hardware. A user can quickly pull information about an asset in the field using the barcode scanner or RFID reader. The integrated serial port also allows users to connect specialized legacy hardware to the tablet, making past data easily retrievable.
