Ruggedized electronics are now found in advanced intelligence, communication, navigation, and weapons systems, among other locations in the military’s developing Internet of Things (MIoT). Edge computing is a true force multiplier because it provides superior situational awareness, increased operational capacity, increased safety, and many other benefits to military personnel and commanders – even in the most distant, physically challenging settings.

Rugged Tablets: Solutions to Military’s Asset Management

The military has to keep track of a lot of assets. There are big ticket items like planes, vehicles, fleets, firearms, basic IT equipment and computers. However, as equipment becomes more complex with multiple moving parts from base to field back to base, the task of asset management for defense departments gets more complex as well, which brings challenges associated with asset tracking, warehouse management, shipping/receiving and inventory control. Rugged tablets offer a solution that integrates everything into one place for better efficiency and supply control.
