Digitisation in ATEX zones requires the right technology choice
Many organisations are taking steps in digitalising their processes in ATEX environments. In practice however, not every mobile solution aligns equally well with existing workflows.
For applications such as inspections, scanning and communication Android devices often provide an efficient solution. But in situations where intensive use is made of Windows software, OneDrive and existing IT infrastructures, limitations may arise in compatibility and ease of use.
The result. Delays in processes, additional actions and frustration among engineers in the field.
The IS945 Windows tablet from i.safe MOBILE is developed for exactly these situations. An explosion proof tablet that connects seamlessly to Windows based working environments without compromising safety.
Full Windows integration in the field
The IS945 runs on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise and connects directly to existing systems, applications and cloud environments such as OneDrive. Engineers therefore work with the same software and files as in the office, without workarounds or compatibility issues.
With the Qualcomm QCM6490 Octa Core processor, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage that is expandable to 512 GB the tablet is suitable for:
- Realtime monitoring
- Asset management
- Digital inspections and reporting
- Process automation
The 10.1 inch display with Gorilla Glass remains operable with gloves and is designed for intensive industrial use. Thanks to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi 6 the connection remains stable even in complex installations.
Designed for heavy industrial conditions
- IP68 and MIL-STD-810H certified
- Resistant to water, dust and shocks
- Operates at temperatures from minus 20 to plus 55 degrees Celsius
- Replaceable 8160 mAh battery for long shifts
- 12 MP camera for inspections and documentation
Integrated sensors such as a gyroscope, light sensor and pressure sensor enable the tablet to be used within advanced industrial applications.
One device for mobile and stationary use
With the IS MOP1B.1 docking station the IS945.1 easily transforms from a mobile tablet into a fixed operating point. This offers organisations:
- One uniform working environment
- Fewer devices and less complexity
- Continuity between field and control room
When the tablet is removed from the docking station the work can immediately continue in mobile form without interruption.
Flexible deployment per ATEX zone
- IS945.1 → suitable for ATEX Zone 1/21
- IS945.2 → suitable for ATEX Zone 2/22
Both models deliver the same performance allowing organisations to choose the right certification per zone without compromising functionality or user experience.
The right choice per application
- Android → ideal for standardised apps, scanning and communication
- Windows → ideal for full integration with existing IT systems and software
The IS945 Windows tablet specifically addresses situations where that deep integration is required and therefore forms a powerful addition within the total device portfolio.
Conclusion
The IS945 Windows tablet gives organisations the ability to extend their digitalisation into ATEX zones without limitations from software or infrastructure.
Through the combination of explosion safety and full Windows integration engineers can work more efficiently, reduce errors and accelerate processes.
A future proof solution for organisations that want to get the most out of their digital working environment even in the most critical environments.
