Your Customized Rugged Computers Checklist
There are many ways to customize rugged computers to best suite your needs. Daisy Data Displays (Daisy) is committed to provide unique, personalized design to meet our customers’ needs. We encourage you to discuss the custom capabilities with our experts to find the right fit.
As you are preparing to delve into custom options for your rugged computers, here are a few things to consider:
Do You Have Industry-Specific Compliances?
Consider the special environmental requirements and compliances you may have, such as those from the NRTL in hazardous scenarios or IECEx, NFPA 496 and ATEX standards.
What Are Your Hardware Needs?
Identify your hardware needs. Here are some things to consider:
- How many hard drives do you need?
- What power method will you use?
- What slots and ports do you need?
- What are the size requirements of your chassis?
- What redundancies do you require?
- Do you interface with other systems continuously such as barcode scanners?
Once you know the hardware elements that best suite your needs, Daisy will put together the right form factor for your business.
What Special Circumstances Does Your Application Experience?
List the specific environments and exposures your equipment may face, and make sure to consider whether you need to meet extremes in:
- Temperature
- Shock
- Vibration
- Salt, acids, alkaline and other elements
- Water exposure
- Impacts
- Others
Support for Other Equipment and Systems
Daisy can help you determine the requirements you need to integrate your PC with many of today’s modern IT systems. Sometimes it is as simple as securing the right ports and interface options. It may also require internal hardware or a need to come preinstalled with proprietary software so they can be deployed in the field right away.
Long-Term Use or Special Power Situations
Do you have a unique deployment that requires a longer use cycle or wants to minimize power consumption because your equipment is away from chargers for a long period of time?
At Daisy, we can help by engineering the right low-power solution or creating a custom multi-bay battery option that can charge and maintain your equipment in constant use for the long haul.
What Matters Most to You?
Each industry has one application that is either most common or most dangerous. Daisy offers customized rugged computers to address each problem. It can be as simple as placing commonly used ports in places that are easy to access or as complex as developing a casing that can withstand harsh environments but won’t block signals so your RFID scanner only needs a second to take a reading.
Our engineering experts have worked in your field, and that puts Daisy in the best position to create a custom solution for you. Learn why so many companies needing a unique product come to us to Make it Daisy.
