Edge AI (the use of AI algorithms on devices located at the edge of a network) and machine learning (ML) work together to bring the power of artificial intelligence to local devices, enabling them to perform intelligent tasks without relying on constant internet connectivity or external cloud servers. Edge AI involves deploying ML models directly…
Technology has come such a long way that it has become standard for many electronic devices we’re accustomed to using to have some sort of water resistance—from watches and phones to tablets and other touch screens. In specific industrial applications where the environment’s temperatures can range from hot to freezing, or moist to dehydrating, it…
The battery life of medical grade tablets or rugged tablets can vary significantly depending on factors such as the tablet’s specifications, usage patterns, and the tasks it’s being used for. In some industries, the life of a battery can mean the world of difference in terms of delivery effective and prompt services. Hot-swappable batteries for…
Rugged tablets—not your off-the-shelf product (COTS)—but handheld computers that are versatile, powerful, tough, and portable. Ruggedize, military-grade tablets are often found in healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, construction, and utilities. In warehouse management, rugged tablets offer a more flexible and reliable solution, with lower failure rates compared to nonrugged devices. They are especially appealing as IoT…
