Understanding the Mobility Challenge

The Growing Need for Data Access Everywhere

The race toward smart factories, connected logistics, and edge automation has fuelled an unprecedented need for real-time data access. Whether you’re monitoring operations on the factory floor, managing inventory in warehouses, or inspecting assets in demanding environments, reliable technology is mandatory to reduce downtime and improve decision-making.

However, the tools available to field workers often fall short of the task, particularly in harsh conditions. Many industries rely on front-line teams to use Mobile Enterprise Software (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), or Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools. Yet consumer-grade devices struggle with durability, reliability, and compatibility in environments with extreme temperatures, heavy vibrations, or exposure to dust and moisture

Consumer Devices Fall Short

• Fragility: Breakdowns due to drops, extreme temperatures, or water damage are common.
• Limited Functionality: Consumer devices often lack the rugged performance and integration required for industrial tools, such as barcode scanning or GIS applications.
• Short Lifecycles: Frequent replacements increase downtime and costs in environments where continuity is critical.
• Limited Warranty Period and Coverage: Most consumer devices offer only 12-month limited warranties and do not cover accidental damage, leaving businesses to absorb unexpected repair and replacement costs.
• High Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): While consumer devices may appear cheaper upfront, hidden costs, like frequent repairs, replacements, lost productivity, and system incompatibility, significantly increase the long-term investment, making them less cost-effective for enterprise use.

The Artsys and Getac equips enterprises with rugged mobility solutions

Artsys Automation and Getac have united to bridge these gaps, equipping enterprises with comprehensive, rugged mobility solutions that empower field operations under the harshest conditions.

Rugged Technology by Design

Unlike consumer devices that attempt to offer “rugged options,” Getac designs its tablets and laptops rugged from the ground up. These devices meet MIL-STD certifications, ensuring they’re watertight, dustproof, shock-resistant, and operational in extreme temperatures ranging from -29°C to +63°C.

Key Features of Getac Devices:

• Hot-swappable dual batteries for uninterrupted 24/7 uptime.
• Certified to drop survival from heights of up to 6 feet.
• Customisable I/O ports like RS232, LAN, Thunderbolt, and USB-C to work seamlessly with legacy and modern systems.
• Advanced edge-AI readiness with modular hardware for sensor integration, NVIDIA GPUs, and much more.
• Complete mounting solutions for vehicles, forklifts, and drones with shock absorption.
• A 3-Year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty, covering even accidental damage.

An Integrated Ecosystem by Getac:

Beyond robust hardware, Getac offers a unified ecosystem of solutions tailored to the demands of field workers and industrial applications, including:

• Getac Select Solutions is pre-configured for specific verticals like defence, utilities, and public safety.
• GDMS, a device monitoring system for proactive maintenance.
• Getac deployXpress, for quick and large-scale device setups.
• KeyWedge barcode software for high-speed asset tracking.

With these capabilities, businesses no longer need to patch together multiple systems; they gain an end-to-end solution optimised for their workflows.
