Deploying Rugged Computing Solutions in Manufacturing: Architecture and Benefits

How Rugged Computing Solutions Reduce TCO in Manufacturing by 30%

Onerugged offers a range of rugged computing solutions designed specifically for the manufacturing industry, ensuring that your enterprise architecture is robust and optimized for efficiency. These devices, certified to MIL-STD-810G and up to IP68 standards, are built to withstand the harshest environments, thereby reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Real-Time Access

The rugged notebook and tablet PCs from Onerugged provide constant connectivity through 4G LTE/5G and Wi-Fi, enabling real-time communication between workers and factory management systems. This feature is crucial for efficient workforce management and ensures that all team members can access critical information instantly.

One-Handed Operation With Stylus

  • Onerugged’s rugged tablets are designed with one-handed operation in mind, making them ideal for professionals who need a lightweight and durable solution. The stylus allows for seamless digital record-keeping, eliminating the need for traditional pen and paper.
  • The built-in camera further enhances data capture capabilities, reducing the reliance on verbal descriptions and making data transfer faster and more accurate.

Industry Use Cases

Polar Expedition Scenario

In the Arctic, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and winds howl at speeds over 100 km/h, the rugged computing solutions from Onerugged play a vital role. The harsh environmental conditions pose significant challenges to traditional computing devices, leading to frequent downtime and maintenance issues. With Onerugged’s devices, the pain point of unreliable technology in such extreme climates is addressed. Workers can perform real-time equipment management and safety inspections without worrying about device failures. The coordinated operation of these rugged devices with the information management system ensures that all data is collected accurately and transmitted reliably, optimizing workflow and reducing downtime.

Metallurgical Blast Furnace Scenario

In a metallurgical blast furnace, the intense heat and constant exposure to dust and smoke create a challenging working environment for conventional computing devices. The Onerugged industrial Rugged Tablet PCs, with their IP65 protection level, are deployed to overcome these specific environmental challenges. These devices are used for compliance inspections, data collection, and real-time MES/ERP sync, which is essential for maintaining operational efficiency. By ensuring that these devices can operate without interruption, Onerugged helps manufacturers cut costs and boost flexibility, ultimately enhancing productivity in this demanding setting.

One-Stop Integrated Solution

Through the integration of rugged devices with the corresponding information management system, Onerugged provides a comprehensive solution that optimizes data collection, information recognition, route planning, and work status supervision. This coordination ensures that all operations run smoothly, reducing the need for manual interventions and improving overall efficiency.

Cutting Costs, Boosting Flexibility

By working with mobile computer carts, the rugged computing solutions from Onerugged offer greater mobility and reduced cost inputs. These carts are equipped with storage space, allowing for easy movement of materials, which is particularly beneficial in large-scale manufacturing environments where logistics optimization is key.

Unstoppable Productivity

The protection level of Onerugged’s rugged tablet can reach IP65, ensuring that it can operate in dusty and wet conditions without failure. A full charge can provide up to 12 hours of continuous operation, making it an indispensable tool for workers who need to maintain productivity even during extended shifts or in remote areas.
