Rugged Medical Tablets are Revolutionizing Emergency Medical Services

EMS, or emergency medical services, is just one component of a larger network of services and systems aiming to maintain and boost public health and safety. To be effective, EMS must entail elements such as communication and transportation networks, trauma systems, and highly-trained professionals. Without the proper equipment, EMS teams are left at a disadvantage when it comes to seamless communication with other entities, as well as leveraging the latest GPS and data retrieval technologies.

Streamlining Construction Site Efficiency with Rugged Technology

The integration of rugged technology boasts an increase in efficiency for many industries. This is especially important for the construction industry, however, in that streamlined efficiency results in safer working environments. By connecting every process and providing transparency for all parties, managers and other leaders can make decisions based on a better understanding of the variables at play. For an industry known for its inherent safety risks, any means to reduce that risk is a powerful and necessary tool.

How Cities Use Rugged Tech to Support Infrastructure

Today’s urban planners and city governments are faced with three major infrastructure challenges: building structures that are more likely to withstand hazardous weather, integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) to shift towards the not-so-distant future of smart cities, and accommodating the rapidly increasing population of cities. More people mean more houses, schools, roads, and businesses, leading city officials to move quickly. And as these urban settings are growing, urban planners must consider how these areas will satisfy the incorporation of new technologies projected to alter city life, as well as how they’ll stand up against commonly-occurring natural disasters, like flooding and wildfires.

5 Unexpected Industries That Benefit From Rugged Technology

On the Group Mobile blog, we often discuss the various benefits of rugged technology for industries, such as warehouse management, public safety, and construction, with applications more obvious for workers in harsh settings. It’s unsurprising that work taking place in severe environments with exposure to technology-damaging elements would be a good candidate for leveraging tougher mobile devices. What’s less obvious, however, are the unexpected industries that could benefit from not just tougher devices, but the advanced applications, superior connectivity, and mobility of rugged technology.
