As military personnel knows, the U.S. Airforce does not simply fly planes all day. In truth, its not an overstatement to say that their responsibilities span wider than the sky.
In fact, while the airforce does focus on flying, only a small fraction of personnel actually get up in the sky. The majority of airmen and airwomen are on the ground conducting flight support, handling base affairs, protecting bases, constructing airstrips, protecting sites, and transporting cargo between bases of all branches.
With such critical responsibilities, the air force is in a position of requiring technology that not only meets their diverse needs but also increases efficiency across the grid.
Here is a thorough examination of how rugged tablets support two of the Air Forces key operations:
Fleet Management
The Air Force utilizes thousands of vehicles for their varied and complex operations. These vehicles include both grounded and airborne machines that require regular maintenance, scheduled repairs, and continual overall management.
The Airforces own website states that fleet management utilizes the latest computer technology in all their operations.
Some of the latest computer technology is DT Research military rugged tablets.
The core of fleet management is ensuring that aircrafts and ground vehicles are always working and ready to go when they are needed, and rugged tablets are ready to go at any time with Intel 8 Generation iCore processors, able to input, process, and analyze real-time data as well as provide seamless communication.
With military rugged tablet capabilities, specialists can both deliver and receive paperless technical orders in real-time and automatically digitally store, categorize, and schedule those orders. This creates an efficient workflow for repair and maintenance orders ensuring that each task is completed when it needs to be. As a technician is working on a repair, they can easily input data pertaining to the issue being addressed, order new parts, and any other issues that may arise without delaying the order completion. With rugged tablets, specialists can send all of this data and communicate, both in real-time, with superiors or other team members that need to have access to this information. At any time, Air Force personnel with the appropriate access can check up on the status of a vehicle as well as any data that needs to be addressed.
Additionally, specialists can use rugged tablets Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and high-speed processing capabilities to access the Air Force Enhanced Technical Information Management System in a moment for any of the information they might need.
All of the ways military-grade rugged tablets support fleet management creates an efficient environment for the Air Force where all vehicle operations are meticulously managed to set the foundation for successful operations.
Cargo Transportation
By handling cargo transportation, not only between bases but between bases of separate branches, the Air Force has a critical responsibility on its shoulders.
DT Researchs military rugged tablets create a system that can be relied upon by both the Air Force teams organizing and delivering the cargo and the bases receiving the necessary supplies.
With easy access to data organizational systems, rugged tablets can hold detailed documentation of inventory as well as quickly integrate new data whether it’s the addition or subtraction of inventory.
Being that rugged tablets can track inventory in real-time, the Airforce can rely upon the information that informs their decisions about cargo transportation.
As well, personnel can immediately receive supply requests, process them, and put them into action. Using the real-time communication capabilities, they are also able to confirm with fleet management technicians that the specific vehicles are ready to go and in the schedule.
Once the shipment is in motion, carriers can use the GPS capabilities to route their transportation and cargo managers are able to track the shipment from the base. On the flip side of that, the base receiving the shipment is aware of where the shipment is and exactly when it will arrive even when its thousands of feet in the air.
When it comes to both fleet management and cargo transportation in the Air Force, the advantage of rugged tablets is undeniable due to the fact that these efficient computing solutions assist the entire process each step of the way.
