Transforming the way utilities work

Mobile working in the utilities sector presents its own unique challenges.

There’s the need to give your field staff access to digital information, whilst carrying out inspection and maintenance in remote or difficult locations. The requirement to ensure safe working conditions maybe? And the demand for efficient asset management or the need to work where power sources are unavailable and the elements are a constant enemy.

That’s where Toughbook, equipped with Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor, comes into its own.

Thanks to world-class connectivity, performance, portability and unrivalled durability, they are enabling professionals in the utilities sector to achieve far more in the field than ever before. Paperwork is being rendered unnecessary. Weather conditions – it could be rain or snow, or bright sunshine – don’t hamper progress or cause unnecessary downtime. The need for multiple devices is no longer relevant.

Quite simply, Toughbooks are helping utilities providers become more productive, more efficient and more profitable.

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.

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 utilities 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 resistance¹.

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.
