Winmate Releases M700DQ8-EX ATEX Rugged Android PDA for Potentially Explosive Zone 2 Applications

Mobile working environments and mobile device requirements for the chemical, energy, oil, and gas industries are increasingly critical. Many experienced specialists in vital sectors will retire soon, and there is a lack of qualified junior employees to fill this void. As a result, fewer staff must handle even more work. Consequently, effortless, meticulous electronic data collection and documentation are critical. This compiled data can evaluate or improve the process, and preserve the experts’ experience.

Mobile Makes You Independent

In areas with dangerous emissions, protective functions are essential – like a call to emergency and rescue services that can be automatically sent in a crisis. The fundamental benefits listed below also speak in favor of mobile devices:

• Rapid decision-making with direct communication capabilities
• Employees no longer have to intervene mechanically and physically during measurement and control. This brings significant reductions in error rates, and time savings during data collection through digitized operations
• Increased efficiency and cooperation in staff assignments, without location-related functional constraints
• Enhanced safety, as the best decisions are made based on the availability of accurate information

Winmate, a rugged computing industry leader, offers rugged computing solutions for use in Zone 2 or Class 1 Division 2. Comprehensive certifications guarantee worldwide use.
