The Construction industry needs further digitization

Rugged devices in Construction

The construction industry has a unique challenges which many other sectors do not face. One requirement, the need for many drawings and notes to be accessed at any given time, is an opportunity to take advantage of rugged mobile computers.

Investment in frontline tech

Construction sites are often harsh environments which has made consumer technology nonviable.

Paperwork on a construction site is fraught with difficulty. This is where Handheld rugged devices come in. Handheld offers a variety of devices suited for almost all work sites.

The main benefit a construction worker would get from rugged device is durability and toughness. The fact that they are able to withstand so much more than consumer devices can makes them much more desirable and usable.

Predicting the weather

Rugged devices from Handheld are known for their durable qualities. They will survive drops, shock, dust, dirt, and other extreme environments thanks to their rating of at least IP65. This is obviously beneficial for the construction industry, as it’s difficult to predict the type of weather or environment on specific construction sites which workers will be in on a day-to-day basis.

Why should you choose Handhelds devices?

It’s easy to carry around

Construction workers are required to move around quite a bit at the construction site which places emphasis on functionality and mobility. Moving around large stacks of paper is impractical, a PDA, phablet or a tablet are a great way around this.

Reducing the cost of ownership

In the construction industry, clients, owners and operators wan to to keep the costs down to make the business as profitable as possible. When a device breaks it doesn’t only cost money to repair it, it also creates downtime when the device isn’t usable. Handheld devices not only fails less frequently but they also have replaceable batteries and a significantly longer lifespan than non-rugged mobile computers. Handheld also offers a value extended warranty option called MaxCare on all devices.
