Asset and supply tracking is crucial for military bases so they can accurately know how many supplies they have and when they could run out, for proper ordering dates. Military personnel responsible for asset tracking depend on reliable technology to help them track and manage the assets that keep missions moving forward.
Assets could include vehicles, personnel gear, computing equipment, vessel parts, office and base technology, medical supplies, and base supplies. Each asset category needs to be managed, recorded, and tracked to ensure military bases have enough supplies, know where their tech tools are at all times, and ensure operational vehicles can be located at all times.
Military-grade rugged tablets enable military bases and personnel to record, track and manage all assets efficiently and effectively in real-time. Features of the rugged tablet include benefits that allow for GPS tracking as well as built-in WiFi for use even when cell towers aren’t in range.
Built-in GPS
Rugged tablets with built-in GPS to track asset locations in field deployments where they may be out of range to contact, the rugged tablet can be used to find and locate the exact location while in the field. Rugged tablets also have built-in WiFi so the tablet is never technically offline, it can be located even when assets are in the field, whether the tablet is in a vehicle or on a person. Rugged tablets with built-in GPS tracking are an investment that gives reliable details exactly when needed.
Base Logistics
If supplies are not managed properly, they could run out without notice, leaving a military base short on food, medical supplies, or other pertinent materials. This shortage could send operations into peril, therefore supply management is crucial to ensure logistics teams have their eyes on all needed supplies – when they are ordered, when they are forecasted to run out, and how many are on hand.
Built-In RFID
Rugged tablets automatically track all of the supplies listed in the system, while also managing accurate forecasts for when products need to be replenished. Integrated RFID scanners make it easy to scan inventory in warehouses, even those that are stored up high. Long-range RFID readers mean RFID tags can be read and tracked even before the shipment gets inside the warehouse from the loading area outside. All inventory is accounted for in real-time, for anyone with network access to login and access as long as they have proper security clearance and credentials.
Advanced Security Features
Whether a team member is logging in from the base or in the field, advanced security features such as CAC readers, night vision screen features, and encrypted hardware to prevent data breaches. This ensures that only members with the appropriate credentials can access information pertinent to mission-critical operations.
High bright and dimmable capacitive touch screens allow for advanced security at night with a night vision feature that blocks people from a distance from being able to see the tablet light even with night goggles on. The dimmer switch allows screen brightness to be brightened for daytime viewing in direct sunlight.
Military-grade tablets are the perfect asset for asset tracking, they flexibly can be used on the base in a warehouse or vehicle repair shop or in the field in a direct mission. Rugged tablets provide automatic tracking as well real-time updating so everyone on the team has access to pertinent information when they need it to make mission-critical decisions on the fly with accurate information.
