As the portable computer market evolves, an ever growing number of vendors claim to have "ruggedised" computers. As such how can decision makers tell how rugged a computer really is?
- Truly rugged computer devices are engineered, inside and out, to operate in a range of hostile environments. Their design encompasses the external housing, internal components, special coatings, and seals amoung others allowing them to function correctly in operating environments ranging from challenging to extreme.
- Mobile workers that are required to operate outside of a controlled office environment are ideal candidates for a rugged PC.
Customers have to rely on a product's specifications and warranty statements to evaluate the amount of ruggedisation included in the product's design. Since specifications vary from product to product a number of ratings and standards established by various government agencies and industry associations such as the Military Standards for Environmental Testing (MIL-STD-810F) are available to help even out the evaluation process and provide a better assessment of a product's ruggedisation.Because certain ratings, standards and test methods are subject to interpretation closer scrutiny of a vendor's claims is recommended. To clearly understand a device's ability to perform where it will be used it is important to obtain detailed testing information (validated by an independent body) and warranty statements from the manufacturer to verify a product's ability to operate in those environments.
