In industries like logistics, manufacturing, and field services, downtime can cost companies thousands of pounds each day. That’s why many businesses are turning to industrial rugged tablets to keep operations running smoothly. Whether you’re monitoring inventory in a warehouse, overseeing operations on an oil rig, or managing repairs in remote locations, rugged tablets offer a reliable, high-performance solution that standard devices simply can’t match.
If you’re still using consumer-grade tablets for your industrial operations, it’s time for an upgrade. Let’s take a closer look at the features that make industrial rugged tablets the go-to tech solution for businesses that operate in demanding environments.
What Makes Industrial Rugged Tablets Stand Out?

Built Tough for Tough Environments
Industrial rugged tablets are designed to thrive in environments where normal tablets would fail. They come with MIL-STD-810G certification, meaning they’ve passed military-grade testing for shock, vibration, and drop resistance. For example, Relec Electronics’ MAA series from MACTRON Group can survive falls from up to six feet and continue working flawlessly. Add to that the IP65 or higher waterproof and dustproof ratings, and you’ve got a device that can handle just about anything—from factory floors to extreme weather conditions in the field.
Advanced Connectivity Options
Staying connected is crucial in any industry, especially for those managing remote operations. Industrial rugged tablets are equipped with Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and Bluetooth capabilities, allowing teams to communicate, update data in real time, and monitor operations from virtually anywhere. Some models even come with GPS and NFC for added functionality in industries like logistics and transportation, where real-time tracking and asset management are essential.
Sunlight-Readable Displays for Any Condition
Industrial work often takes place in bright environments where traditional screens can be hard to see. Luckily, many of Relec Electronics’ range of rugged tablets come with sunlight-readable displays that ensure you can see what’s on the screen, no matter how bright it is outside. These high-brightness displays include crystal-clear visibility whether you’re under direct sunlight on a construction site or in a well-lit manufacturing facility.
This enhanced visibility keeps workers productive without the need to shade the screen or struggle with glare, making rugged tablets ideal for outdoor use.

Thermal Management for Extreme Conditions
From freezing warehouses to scorching outdoor environments, industrial operations aren’t always conducted in climate-controlled spaces. That’s why thermal management is so important. Industrial rugged tablets are designed to function in extreme temperatures, so whether you’re working in -20°C or +60°C, you won’t experience lag or shutdowns. For example, the MAS series operates flawlessly across this temperature range, making it a great choice for industries like oil and gas, construction, and agriculture.
