Transforming the way the automotive industry works
Whether in research and development for engines or vehicles, for computer simulations and optimization, for measuring, recording and evaluating telematic data during test drives - Toughbooks, equipped with Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor, are the ideal tool for all areas in the automotive industry.
With their rugged, fanless design and seals for the external ports, the units of our fully ruggedized series are resistant against dust and water, as well as vibrations and shocks (MIL-STD 810G and IP65)¹,². They are also weatherproof for outdoor vehicle diagnosis at site, and withstand drops and shocks on bumpy test tracks as well as dirty conditions in workshops.
Ideal for the rental industry
At all stages of the vehicle rental process – before during and after – Toughbooks are perfectly suited to deliver previously unachievable levels of performance, at the point of service. Thanks to world-leading wireless connectivity, integrated data collection features and their ability to perform outdoors, the use of a Toughbook means a customer can receive exceptional service, often without ever needing to venture further than the forecourt.
Reliable and durable
The rugged design with features such as flexible mounted LCDs, strong hinges and shock-protected HDDs makes Toughbooks extraordinarily long-lasting and impassible against failures, breakdowns and expensive repairs. Therefore, their accumulated cost over the entire life-cycle is on a considerably lower level than conventional mobile devices (Total Cost of Ownership).
But those are the technical facts. What we’d like to show you now is how Toughbooks can work with you.
How they’re already helping other organizations similar to yours. And how they can help you overcome the main challenges you face.
¹Tested by a national independent third party test lab following MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6 Procedure IV for transit drop test.
²Tested by a national independent third party test lab following IEC 60529 Sections 13.4, 13.6.2, 14.2.5 and 14.3.
Working in the field means screen visibility in sunlight can be a serious obstacle. Toughbooks come equipped with cutting-edge display technology for brilliant presentation under direct sunlight and background illumination for working at night.
Integrated HSPA, GPS and other application-specific module options. They make even the smallest form factor Toughbooks the mobile multifunctional tool for the most demanding working conditions.
Even our smallest machines meet the challenges of field working in the automotive sector. Take the Toughbook ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) CF-U1. At 1060 grams, the unit can withstand falls from 120 cm. What’s more, some of our models are up to IP65 compliant for dust and moisture resistance².
Toughbooks have a newly designed battery and specially adapted power management system. This allows up to 8 hours of running time from a single battery charge.
