From an empty plot of land to a full-blown structure, there are a million and a half steps that construction companies go through to reach success. Construction is complicated and therefore requires an equally complex piece of technology to keep everything and everyone organized within the mass of moving parts.
This is where DT Researchs purpose-built rugged tablets enter the market.
While our tablet is not the first, DT Researchs physical component and integrated technology are at the top of the market for construction and manufacturing. We have released a variety of models that each have a different set of features to meet companies specific needs.
Here are the most in-demand features for the construction and manufacturing industry that our rugged tablets support:
Barcode Scanner
Daily, companies in the construction and manufacturing industry receive shipments of materials, tools, and other related products and supplies. With each one having a specific purpose and meeting an important need for the company and their various projects, organized storage of shipments and efficient tracking of what is coming, where it is going, and what is missing is critical. With an embedded barcode scanner, DT Researchs rugged tablets allow inventory managers and other related personnel the ability to quickly scan incoming shipments, properly log that information, safely store it and have easy access to it in the future.
This way, all shipments that come into any of the companys storage facilities, warehouses, and headquarters are documented on one system that can be accessed from any location with the right access clearance on the network. A worker can be scanning in glass panes for windows in Idaho at the same time another worker is scanning in plywood in California onto the same, connected system.
Long Range Bluetooth
No matter the size of the construction company, its very likely youll often have personnel in spread-out locations who need to collaborate or track assets that are tough to scan due to their location. This is where DT Researchs rugged tablets with long-range Bluetooth become key. With this feature, location wont inhibit your ability to be successful on a project. Additionally, personnel with tablets can easily access databases and key information while on site.
RTK GNSS
With a Global Navigation Satellite System integrated into DT Researchs rugged tablets, the crew can accurately pinpoint important positions for builds from even remote locations. The onsite crew can give coordinates which can be checked by the manager back in the office to make sure everyone on the team has the same coordinates and that all is proceeding as it should.
Outdoor Viewable Touch Screen
It goes without saying that touchscreen is a must-have for any technological device with the goal of making industry professionals lives easer. DT Researchs touch screen takes convenience to the next level with a capacitive touch screen that can detect any pressure that is different from air. For example, even workers who are wearing gloves or other hands protective gear will be able to easily use the rugged tablet. With 800 NITs, it is easy to read in direct sunlight and the backlight provides readability for dim lighting, making it possible to work both day and night without being affected by the lighting.
3D Camera
With the optional Intel RealSense 3D camera, the crew can efficiently capture assets for design documentation and other needs, ideal for establishing the condition of the assets and their surroundings before and during implementation. The rugged tablet with 3D technology shortens the project cycle time, getting the infrastructure up quickly, expediting payments, and reducing risks.
