Case Studies

Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) are revolutionizing the way we do business. Automation, data exchange, smart factories, intelligent logistics, Cloud computing – it’s all part of the fourth industrial revolution. There are major gains to be made by embracing this new technological world – but it’s complex, dynamic and continually evolving. So how do you become a part of it?

Patrolling the traffic in all-weather conditions, the Czech Police Department needed to kit its officers with rugged devices that could make their work more efficient and contribute to making the Czech Republic’s roads safer. RuggON offered a solution: the RuggON PM-522 provided them with a device that could not only stand up to the rigours of the job, but offered the data collection and communications functions they needed.

It’s the latest dilemma – do you need a rugged device, or would a consumer equivalent be the right choice? There are plenty of assumptions feeding into this decision. People think rugged is heavier and more expensive but are consumer devices tough enough for working on the move? Which has the more advanced technology? It’s time to cut through the supposition and get to the facts.
