How A Rugged Tablet PC Full With Multiple Data Collection Abilities Boosts Work Efficiency?

Rugged tablet pc has opened up a world of possibilities for users worldwide. A rugged tablet pc has numerous advantages and its ruggedized character makes it a great fit for the harsh environment applications, such as industrial automation usages, manufacturing processing and so on.

MACTRON GROUP’s mobile tablet pc is ruggedly designed with industrial grade quality. It is portable, durable, full of flexibilities and ready to give you the ultimate performance and enhance your work efficiency.

RFID technology is one of the data collection abilities MACTRON GROUP’s mobile tablet pc supports with. Let’s have a look to see what kinds of applications we can apply with.

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It has become much more common across a number of industries and there are different types of RFID technology based on its frequency they use to communicate data: low frequency(LF), high frequency(HF) and ultra-high frequency(UHF). Usually the lower frequency of the RFID system means the slower data read rate and shorter read range.

MACTRON GROUP’s Rugged Tablet PC With RFID Improves Logistics Efficiency

Rugged tablet pc improves processes for the logistics industries with its multiple data collection abilities such as RFID technology. Inventory is managed more easily and data is made more readily available to the workers so the decisions can be executed quickly.

What is RFID?

RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. It is a wireless, contactless communication technology. It allows RFID tags to be read without a line of sight and therefore it is useful especially when your assets are located at where is hard to reach.

Benefits of RFID

1. Optimizing your inventory management
   Because RFID allows data to be captured in real-time as inventory is moved. You can have up-to-date management information for planning purposes.
2. Multiple RFID tags scanned at once
   Thanks for that. It enables the entire pallet-load of products to be checked simultaneously instead of checking it manually one by one.

Feature products: MCA0802

Applications

One of the most common uses of RFID is inventory tracking in the logistics industry.

RFID is a great fit for users that need to identify many assets in a given area, especially when the assets are hard to reach. Because RFID tags don’t require a reader that is in the same line of sight, it eliminates the need for the workers to manually scan each box.

Using MACTRON GROUP’s MCA Series Rugged Tablet PC with RFID readers, companies in the logistics industry can improve their inventory management efficiency and reduce the potential human error while operating.

TPM 2.0 : Your Data Safeguard

You may often hear about Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as a security feature for computers, but you may not know what it is or why it is useful.

Trusted Computing Group (TCG) introduced TPM in 2009. It has been updated over the years, and its most recent release is TPM 2.0, which was released in 2014.

What is TPM?

The TPM is a chip that’s part of your computer’s motherboard. This chip provides hardware-based authentication and tamper detection, so an attacker can’t attempt to remove the chip and place it on another motherboard, or tamper with the motherboard itself to attempt to bypass the encryption.

What does a TPM do?

TPM chip uses a mix of software and hardware to protect any important passwords or encryption keys when they are sent in the unencrypted form. In this way, it ensures that no unintended users gain access to your data by either stealing your computer or hard drive or via a software attack.

What can you do with a TPM?

TPM can be used in high-risk industrial devices. It prevents hackers from getting sensitive data about your business, and it also prevents them from manipulating or freezing your devices.

In the business commercial industry, TPM is important for protecting customer data. It can provide an extra level of security if your computer is stolen or lost and it protects your IT infrastructure from unauthorized users.

MACTRON GROUP’s 21.5-Inch Touch All-In-One System PPC WCP2157 supports TPM and Intel vPro, your business deserves better data protection.

Panel PC is widely applied as HMI in system control and as a building block of the POS system in the commercial segment. The "W" letter stands for "Wall-Mounted" and "A" letter stands for "Industrial automation" in our WAP series as a panel pc often be wall-mounted in the cabinet and the commercial area.

Feature products: MAS/MAA Series

The 2nd letter stands for the corresponding market segment of this product and the 3rd letter can be recognized as a system platform in our PPC (Panel PC) line and MTP (Mobile Tablet PC) line.

Industrial Computers VS Commercial Computers

Feature products: WAP Series, TAS Series and BAS Series

Industrial PCs are designed for use in environments where commercial-grade PCs are not suitable. Industrial PCs provide numerous benefits including durability, expandability/ flexibility, extended temperatures of operation and a lower overall cost of ownership.

Most Common Enclosure Materials For Industrial PCs

There are several different enclosure materials available for industrial PCs. For metal enclosures, you can find aluminum and stainless steel in there and plastic is also popular to manufactured in. What is the difference between them? Let’s break down a little bit to find out their pros and cons.

Pros & Cons of Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Plastic

Metal enclosures provide many benefits that other materials don't. Let’s focus on aluminum and stainless steel comparison at first.

1. Strength and Weight. Aluminum is typically not as strong as stainless steel, but it is almost one-third of the weight of stainless steel. This is why an aluminum alloy enclosure is usually lighter than the stainless steel one.
   
   
   
   
2. Corrosion. Aluminum has a high oxidation and corrosion resistance mainly due to its passivation layer while stainless steel contains chromium which has corrosion resistance properties. Usually, an aluminum alloy enclosure is more suitable for industry requiring chemistry resistant abilities.
   
   
   
   
3. Thermal Conductivity. Aluminum has a much better thermal conductivity than stainless steel and that gives it a better heat dissipation efficiency.
   
   Feature products: BCE Series
   
   
4. Cost. Aluminum is typically cheaper than stainless steel.
   
   

What about plastic enclosure when it is compared to a metal enclosure?

Pros for plastic enclosures:

Plastic enclosures are less expensive and lighter than metal so it's cost-effective. Plastics have a clean, smooth surface that tends to be easy to clean, look professional and work well where they have high visibility and aesthetics are important.

Cons of plastic enclosures:

Plastics have limited chemical resistance relative to metal so it is less suitable for a chemical-related industry where needs lots of chemistry cleaning.

How Different Industrial PCs Are Applied In Industry

You can find Industrial PCs in different systems such as Panel PC, Embedded Box PC, Rugged Tablet PC, Touch Display Monitors and so on.

A Panel PC is a perfect solution for digital signage as an advertising strategy to attract customer's attention. MTG's WCS Series is featured with its galvanized metal housing and it can protect the system from rusting for being exposed to moisture, it is a great fit for indoor wayfinding signage, POS system and self-service kiosk.
