Saica Group utilises forklifts equipped with tablets to transfer materials and products across its manufacturing and logistics operations. Tablets docked in these forklifts must withstand demanding temperature conditions, vibration and rough handling, while remaining resistant to dust. Saica also requires dedicated software to be pre-installed on the devices to help minimise driver distractions.

Rheinmetall Electronics GmbH, based in Bremen Germany, is one of Europe’s leading system integrators for networked soldier systems. As a subsidiary of the Rheinmetall Group – a global technology and defence company with over 30,000 employees and an annual turnover of around 10 billion euros – Rheinmetall Electronics, as the prime contractor, bears system responsibility for the German Armed Forces’ (German Bundeswehr) ‘Future Soldier – Extended System’ (IdZ-ES).

The RFEDA required a rugged tablet that could integrate with SICCOM while delivering strong processing performance, sufficient memory, and an integrated NFC reader. In addition, the device had to be able to withstand rain, dust and temperature changes, provide excellent sunlight readability and have enough battery life to last the whole day, without failures or shutdowns in the middle of a race.

Cojali offers professional diagnostic solutions for industrial vehicles, agricultural and construction machinery, material handling equipment, and marine vessels. Its customers operate in workshops and industrial environments where dust, moisture, impacts, and temperature fluctuations are constant. In this context, consumer devices cannot guarantee the necessary reliability; so a rugged solution is needed to ensure safe and uninterrupted operations.

Energienetze Offenbach (ENO) is responsible ofthe network infrastructure for electricity, gas, water and district heating in the Offenbach region. The demanding working environment requires devices that can withstand heat, splashing water, falls and long working shifts. Efficient on-site documentation is crucial for minimising time spent in locations such as remote heating shafts, also ensuring the smooth operation of complex GIS and maintenance applications. Employees must be protected in accordance with the highest quality and safety standards.

The Paderborn Fire Department needed a reliable mobile device that would work both in stand-alone mode and when stationary in their emergency vehicles. It was important that the tablet could withstand vibrations while driving and could be used flexibly between different vehicles and emergency teams. In addition, it had to be able to support Windows-based emergency management software to enable smooth emergency documentation and situation overview.
