Leading rugged mobile
computing manufacturer
Getac, has been selected by
the BMW Group to supply rugged
mobile devices and solutions across
its global network for a wide range
of applications including R&D,
production, warehouse logistics and
workshop diagnostics.
The announcement expands on
an existing technology partnership
between the two companies, which
has seen Getac supply rugged
equipment to the BMW Group for
vehicle and application testing over
the last six years.
With the partnership renewed,
Getac has received a large new order
from the BMW Group for its S410,
V110, F110, A140, UX10 and T800
series rugged notebooks and tablets.
In order to provide solutions that
meet the BMW Group’s complex
requirements, Getac has adapted its
equipment to the individual needs
of the various user groups within
the company. In the area of research
and development, security and the
protection of sensitive data is of
paramount importance.
In logistics, when using the
internal BVIS picking system, the
Getac A140’s clear, 14-inch display
and optional barcode and RFID
readers make recording key data
simple and efficient.
Every Getac notebook and tablet
offers high reliability and powerful
performance, allowing users to
perform complex tasks as efficiently
as possible. They are also from IP52
and up to IP65 rated for water and
dust resistance, offering peace of
mind in harsh environments and
helping to meet the high-quality
standards of the automotive
industry.
At the BMW Group, the semirugged
S410 notebook is being used
to perform international vehicle
diagnostics. Key features include
wireless and wired connectivity
for direct access to diagnostic
data and rapid vehicle tests, while
Getac’s LumiBond 2.0 touchscreen
technology provides brilliant
readability, even in direct sunlight.
Four advanced touch modes offer
efficient handling of service orders,
for high-quality operations and
short delivery times.
Under the key areas of “Industry
4.0” and digital transformation,
Getac’s rugged solutions help open
up new ways of optimizing the
entire value chain for automotive
production.
