Touch-screen PC uses enhanced LED technology

American Industrial Systems (AIS) has introduced a lightweight 10.4in semi-rugged touch-screen tablet PC utilising a low-power, high-efficiency 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor.

The large touch-screen display features enhanced transflective LED technology providing vibrant colour and sharp text in all environments, including direct outdoor sunlight, for running applications, reading documents and surfing the web.

Connection options include a built-in 802.11 b/g/n WLAN module, Bluetooth v2.0 +EDR, and available 3G and GPS modules for increased range and tracking information.

Everything is packaged within a chassis weighing 2.6lb, which features IP54-rated water/dustproof resistance, multiple 3ft-drop rated, plus enhanced shock and vibration protection.

Mobile reporting, logging and POS ordering can be performed in a variety of environments including, rain, dust and in vehicle.

The unit is completely sealed, including the I/O connections, to an IP54 dust/waterproof rating.

The rugged housing with rubber bumpers provides enhanced shock protection and vibration-resistant operation.

Optional standard and glass-film-glass (GFG) resistive touch screens are also available for durability during heavy commercial usage that would wear out standard touch screens.

A complete line of optional accessories are custom designed to attach onto the rugged tablet PC to extend the use of the outdoor tablet to many applications.

GPS, 3G cellular wireless, MSR (magnetic swipe reader) credit card reader, barcode scanner, shock-absorbing rubber bumpers, upright stand, second battery and charging cradle are all currently available.

Mixing and matching optional modules such as the MSR credit card reader, barcode scanner and 3G wireless can turn the semi-rugged tablet PC into a mobile POS station, which is said to be suitable for amusement parks, drive through, mobile field sales automation, event parking and outdoor exhibits.

The custom engineered hot-swappable second battery is designed to allow 24/7 continuous operation without any downtime.

The primary and secondary battery combine for up to six hours operating time while running the Intel Atom Z530 processor.

The fanless processor provides silent operation and high reliability, with long lifetime support from Intel.

Windows XP Embedded Professional and XP Embedded operating systems are both supported.

The AIS 3G and GPS enabled semi-rugged tablet PC provides a mobile automation, mobile communication and mobile terminal to industrial, commercial and retail environments where reliability, quality, flexibility and service are paramount.
