Handheld will be at Distributech Feb 27-29 in Orlando to showcase our rugged handhelds. Handheld’s ultra-rugged tablets and PDAs are being used in utilities to improve all aspects of work, including inventory management, real-time asset monitoring, work orders, repair scheduling, safety audits and compliance reporting. With their ruggedness, powerful processing, connectivity and communication capabilities, today’s rugged computers make utility fieldwork vastly more efficient, allowing utility technicians to perform tasks in the field that previously could only be completed in an office.

Read more about how various utility companies are using our rugged handhelds for meter data collection, meter replacements, communications, infrastructure GIS mapping, infrastructure inspections, asset life cycle, workflow enhancement and customer service. Case studies showcase a New Zealand utility that employed rugged computers to upgrade 220,000 electrical meters to smart technology, and a small North Carolina town that used our rugged PDAs with custom software to monitor stormwater assets in compliance with federal environmental permit regulations, and went from performing 35 inspections per day to logging 21 inspections per hour.
