The newly released DT Research DT361AM Tablet is a lightweight, durable six-inch tablet that is perfect for on-the-go industries where having an ultra-portable mini-computer is a necessity. Industries such as law enforcement, military, government, first responders, utility workers, warehouses, construction, and field workers who need something that can easily be carried in the hand while in the field, yet has the power to quickly log documents and input data while saving information in real-time so anyone with network access can access information at the same time it is uploaded.
The show must go on… theme parks are an active, fast-paced environment where many moving departments and parts need to be tracked on a daily basis. One of the most important assets to theme parks are their performers and the shows in which are produced every day. However, managing all of the assets for each show, times employees check out materials, and which costumes went where can be an overwhelming task; without the proper systems and processes in place can lead to lost assets and misplaced materials, ultimately costing the theme park thousands per year to replace.
Rugged tablets assist this process by making it easy for team members to checkout assets easily and quickly, so they are tracked no matter where they are. Rugged tablets are portable, handheld computers that scan and track park assets organizing data showing who checked out the item, what show it went to, and when it is returned.
Rugged tablets log data in real-time, meaning an employee or manager from any department can log in and see information as soon as it is entered into the system. This allows employees who may need a costume later that day to have access to when it has been returned so they can go pick it up. Or if a piece is missing to a costume, a manager can log in to the system and see what employee had it last, and where and when it was returned so they can try to track down the missing piece.
As long as the team member has the right access to the network, they are able to see information as it is logged and recorded in real-time. CAC readers are integrated into our rugged tablets for extra security features so employee badges can be scanned for access to only the information level they are authorized to see.
This also helps speed the process along for asset checkout so team members can scan the asset and go. Rugged tablets are durable and can withstand extreme temperatures both hot and cold. If dropped, the rugged tablet, unlike other tablets, will not shatter and break, thereby reducing technology maintenance costs. Behind sets can get crowded and accidents happen, if something is spilled or the tablet is laid down in a dusty or sandy environment it will continue working with no downtime or need for replacement.
Rugged tablets are an easy-to-use tool for theme parks that need to track asset checkouts, which could include uniforms, tools for technicians, costumes for performers, diagnostic equipment for technicians who work on the rides or any other assets that may need to be checked out and returned with their location throughout tracked at the time it is being used. Rugged tablets easily integrate with software systems and can be moved from one location to another accommodating multiple locations throughout the park or if one location needs to be moved, the tablet can be mobile and move with it.
Rugged tablets make the perfect technology tool for theme parks to manage their assets for an efficient and smooth environment that improves productivity and project flow with team members, by offering a quick and reliable way for employees to easily and effortlessly check out and check in the items they need, so the show can go on.
Rugged tablets are designed and manufactured for harsh environments, built to withstand outdoor use and extreme temperatures with high reliability for critical applications, especially in the military field. When choosing the most suitable military-grade tablet, there are key considerations for field and base use.
Military-grade tablets are not all built equal. To qualify for military-grade, standards must be met in order to be used in the field. Small handheld devices need to pass through a series of tests that qualify them to be military ready.
Top military rugged tablets are usually designed from the ground up, including the circuitry, operating system, and packaging. The DT361AM military-grade tablet features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, cellular modem, automatic screen rotation and adjustable display brightness control, touchscreen input, internal battery charging, and sensors such as accelerometer and magnetometer. The operating system can be customized to enhance and boot into an application.
DT Research presents the DT361AM/ DT361AD Rugged Tablet featuring the integration of a 6″ capacitive touch screen and a high performance, energy-efficient Intel® 10th Generation Core™ i processor within a slim, lightweight, durable package. It has a built-in smart card reader/ SD card reader, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth offering seamless information capture and transmission for improved workflow. Rated IP65 and MIL-STD-810G, the DT361AM/ DT361AD Rugged Tablet provide reliable operation in harsh, mission-critical environments.
One of the key differences of the DT361AM tablet is its walkie-talkie communication capability. This feature allows personnel the ability to communicate with each other via immediate verbal communication rather than having to upload data and access the network. Departments such as maintenance and inventory management can talk to each other through this feature to make quick decisions or ask questions for clarification about a needed item. This improves internal communication between personnel in real-time over a secure network.
The military is constantly evolving its standards and is reflected in its technological advancements and higher standards for communication. DT Research’s DT361AM/ DT361AD Rugged Tablet’s walkie-talkie capability allows for the military to have a closed, secured network, and real-time information sharing. The screen is easy to view in all light environments with optional night vision NVIS function allowing the military to view the screen with the naked eye or with NVGs even in dark environments.
By using rugged tablets and devices within a secure network, military personnel can effectively relay information and minimize manual data dissemination from administration offices to and from deployed field commanders and staff.
Companies across multiple industries are rethinking the way they do business. As 2020 came and passed, unveiling flaws within operational systems across industries worldwide, companies are now left with exposed areas of the business that need to be looked at and corrected. As 2021 is well underway businesses are looking to make data-driven business decisions to improve internal operations, team communications, and holes in the business that weren’t previously seen.
Theme parks, theatres, and movie sets require their employees to check out costumes and assets required to do their job; those assets need to be tracked and managed as they are used and returned to ensure none are lost. Mismanagement of costumes and assets could be expensive to replace if they are lost, costing the company thousands per year and time to replace items.
