Reduced TCO

Yes, rugged devices initially cost more than commerical and traditional consumer offerings. But the extremely low failure rates and tailored productivity-enhancing festures of TOUGHBOOK mobile devices mean an altogether lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for your business.

Researach under taken by industry analyst firm IDCm shows that many organisations would significantly benefit by investing in rugged notebooks, tabets and handhelds for their workforce. Studies show that Total Cost of Ownership savings could be as much 15% over a five-year period using rugged mobile devices through reduced failure rates and extended periods of use.

The challenge is convincing IT decision makers to invest now in order to save in the long term.

Specialist Engineering

Unlike our competitors, Panasonic Toughbooks aren’t built using third-party components. We design and build every part of a Toughbook ourselves. So every form, feature and function is built specifically for purpose and quality control is unrivalled.

Approximately 50% of all damage to notebooks is the result of accidents on the road such as drops and other impacts. The display, casing and hard drive are most frequently affected, which is why we developed our Toughbooks so that they are impact and shock resistant. Toughbook casings are made of a magnesium alloy making the strength of the case several times greater than standard hard plastic casings.

Using flexible suspension and magnesium alloy thickener on all displays protects the screen and absorbs any impact. The hard drives are embedded in a newly developed material, offering first class impact and shock resistance.

All Fully Ruggedised models comply with the MIL-Standard (MIL-STD 810G)¹ on impact resistance and additionally meet the ingress protection norm IP65 on water and dust resistance².

In doing, so we allow organisations to overcome many of the usual barriers to data and application access encountered in the field.
