Rugged Computers

Rugged (or ruggedized, ruggedised) computers are specifically designed to reliably operate in environments and conditions that aren’t optimal for computer usage. Rugged computer systems have the ability to be used in places with a lot of wet, dust or dirt, have extremely low/high temperatures or strong vibrations.

Rugged industrial computers

come in many different forms; rugged workstations, ruggedised desk top units (or ruggedized pcs), rackmount systems, rugged laptops and wearable rugged systems . Ruggedized computers are designed from their inception for the type of rough use that harsh conditions entail. Rugged hardware, rugged devices and mobile rugged units are usually made poorly when commercial units are upgraded for the same purpose. They are computers incorporating certain design features providing additional protection against abrasive environmental conditions which would cause a regular, non-rugged, office grade system to be non-functional.

Made from magnesium alloy materials that are 20 times stronger than standard plastic found on commercial laptops, rugged notebooks, rugged tablets, ruggedized laptops, rugged UMPCs (ultra-mobile personal computers) and other mobile rugged units have hard disc drives that are shock mounted with foam or reinforcing material to withstand vibrations. Public safety vehicles and utility trucks are well suited for rugged computers as the vibration and jolts would cause failures in typical portable computers.
