In demanding industrial environments, standard consumer devices often fall short when faced with harsh conditions. This is where rugged mobile tablets shine, offering unparalleled durability and performance in the most challenging environments. As a leader in rugged computing solutions, Estone Technology understands the specialized needs of industries requiring robust mobile computing devices. Our high-end durable tablet computers are designed to meet these demanding requirements.

IP rating (Ingress Protection) is an important standard for evaluating the dust and water resistance of equipment. This standard is developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to provide a unified protection level assessment for electrical equipment. The first number in the IP code indicates the ability to protect against the entry of solid foreign objects, such as fingers or dust, and ranges from 0 to 6; The second number indicates protection against liquid intrusion and ranges from 0 to 9.

Waterproofing is defined by an IP rating of IP65 or greater. Monitors rated IP66 or IP67 must accomplish two key objectives: Resist water on external surfaces; Prevent water from infiltrating internal components

Hot swapping is typically possible when the removed component is not essential to the device’s function. However, for crucial components like hard drives, hot swapping can be enabled through data duplication or redundant insertion points

The trend has shown an uptick in searches and inquiries for Tablet PCs and Panel PCs with Linux Operating Systems.  The bulk of those searches are for Linux Tablet PCs.  With industrial panel PCs that handle Linux natively and rugged tablet PCs that can utilize Linux as a custom ODM or OEM project, Estone Technology explored potential causes for this uptick in search.
