As tough as the conditions you work in, these tablets withstand drops, grime, and heavy use. Impact- and scratch-resistant glass along with a reinforced housing, corners, and edges make these stronger than your typical tablet. A combination of their robust design and sealed ports means they’re sturdy enough to pass the highest military performance tests for temperature, shock, and vibration resistance. Because they’re sealed and their internal components have water-resistant coatings, these tablets are IP rated to protect against dirt, dust, and light rinses. From the extreme cold of freezers to the sweltering heat of foundries, they'll stay reliable and won't lag or crash in a wide range of temperatures.

Versatile companions to make your job easier, they’re great for anything from internet access and inventory management to inspection and data analysis. To enhance their helpfulness, download compatible apps from the Google Play store.

Samsung tablets connect to apps from the Samsung Knox suite for extra features, such as remote device monitoring and management, data analytics, and camera-based barcode scanning. This suite is optional and requires a paid subscription. They’re IP68 rated, so even if you drop them in water or use them in the rain, they’ll keep working. The touchscreen works with most gloves, but very thick gloves might not work. Choose those with a cellular data connection to access the internet outside of your facility. Just add your own SIM card. They’re compatible with all major cellular networks.

Zebra tablets have a built-in barcode scanner that reads 1D and 2D barcodes, so you can scan everything from UPC and Code 39 to QR codes. One thing to keep in mind, their touchscreen won’t work with gloves unless they’re designed for touchscreens. They’re UL listed, C-UL certified, and CE marked to meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards. These tablets require a charger and USB cord (both sold separately).
