Being able to work on the go with access to systems and information at one’s fingertips has proven to increase productivity and efficiency. This is true for many work environments, including those in hazardous industries and high risk areas.
Industries with hazardous risk include Oil & Gas, PetroChem, Mining and Pharmaceuticals among many others. Basically any work environment that involves flammable atmospheres need equipment specially developed to prevent any spark that could cause gas to ignite. For these areas intrinsically safe mobile devices are required to work where a standard mobile device would usually do the trick.
Intrinsically safe smart phones and tablets have been created with advanced and specialized techniques required to prevent explosions. They combine the features of a modern smart devices with a low energy emissions along with durable casing, thus preventing the device from being a source of ignition while a rugged and shockproof cover protect the device itself.
The Extronics Rough Pro fits the bill of a smart device that meets international safety standards. The Rough Pro range combines the features expected in a modern smartphone or tablet with ATEX and IECEx certification. It also meets MIL-STD-810G and IP68 standards, making it a durable and reliable solution for workers in a variety of hazardous and harsh environments. The Rough Pro is powered by Android, using a quad core processor that makes it highly responsive. Amongst other advantages, an optional 8 MP camera enables images and videos to be captured, whilst the high resolution display is easily readable in a range of conditions. The Rough Pro also comes with several man down sensors as standard, such as the accelerometer, gyro, compass and GPS.
