What is a rugged or reinforced computer?


A fully rugged computer is designed to withstand the extreme conditions of all four seasons - frost, rain, heat and sudden temperature changes. They can also withstand the drops, vibration and shocks that occur in many demanding working environments.

When talking about rugged devices, the level of dust and water protection (IP rating) and the MIL standard (MIL-STD), as defined by the US military, are often mentioned as indicators of the level of protection and durability of the device.

Full-rugged Panasonic TOUGHBOOK laptops and tablets offer the highest level of protection. Semi-rugged models combine lighter protection with the durability required for mobile work.

For which industries is Panasonic TOUGHBOOK the best choice?

Panasonic TOUGHBOOKs are designed to last and perform flawlessly in any industry where work is done on the move and conditions can be demanding. Rugged notebooks and tablets are used in industries such as:

  • Automotive - maintenance, diagnostics and field work in mobile units
  • Industry, manufacturing and energy - sustainable solutions for production, maintenance and field service
  • Logistics and warehousing - for use in vehicles, forklifts and collection work
  • Ports and intermodal transport - all-weather and heavy-duty operation
  • Law enforcement and security - police, border control and rescue services
  • Military and demanding field conditions - mission-critical communications and data processing
  • Healthcare and pharmaceuticals - patient data processing and traceability of medicines
  • Retail and customer service - shop floor, warehouse and mobile sales solutions

Backed by more than 20 years of experience, our devices are no longer just for the most challenging environments - they are reliable everyday tools for anyone who needs performance and durability in one package. We offer models in a range of sizes, as well as a variety of accessories and modular solutions that can be tailored to any industry and job description.

What makes TOUGHBOOK the strongest?

Panasonic has more than 25 years of experience in developing rugged laptops and tablets. Solid electronics design expertise and an understanding of user needs ensure that at the heart of every TOUGHBOOK is the reliable and durable technology that has become its trademark.

Passes the toughest tests

The lowest failure rates on the market are no coincidence. TOUGHBOOKs undergo rigorous testing to military standards (MIL-STD) and industry requirements, ensuring resistance to drops, shock, water, vibration, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference and many other challenges.

 

Batteries that last

What makes TOUGHBOOK batteries unique? The video explains how they are designed to support long shifts and last for years of use - and how the design and technology ensure maximum safety, whatever the environment or conditions.

Ruggedised tablets offer plenty of performance and connectivity

Rugged tablets can deliver performance on par with laptops, while offering a wider range of essential ports than consumer-grade tablets. Their batteries are swappable, with high-capacity options and external chargers available.

In a compact package, a rugged tablet combines a touchscreen with full PC functionality and can be docked securely in a vehicle. Bright displays, low power consumption and the flexibility of quick release make them excellent in-vehicle computers for work machinery as well as cars and trucks.

In many logistics applications, barcodes and RFID tags are part of daily operations. By integrating the readers directly into the tablet, workflows become simpler, productivity improves, and the number of separate devices workers need to carry is reduced.

Real-time situational awareness is the foundation of public safety

When every moment can be critical, devices, applications and connections must be absolutely reliable and durable. Real-time transmission of video, audio and location data ensures that both management and field personnel share the same up-to-date situational awareness – a prerequisite for the safety of employees, customers and bystanders. Effective use of geolocation supports task coordination and enables rapid response in emergency situations.

Panasonic Toughbook laptops and tablets are built for field conditions, withstanding vibration, weather and other demanding environments. They integrate seamlessly into vehicle systems and can be quickly detached for use in different tasks. Fast replacement with a preconfigured spare device minimises downtime and keeps operations running. Vehicle installations are designed with user ergonomics and vehicle requirements in mind, while accessories such as mobile printers and ergonomic mounts improve usability and extend device lifecycles.


Rugged solutions overcome the challenges of fieldwork
The worker has to carry several pieces of equipment

panasonic toughbook performance

Many mobile workers carry multiple devices, which slows down their work and increases their workload. Panasonic TOUGHBOOK hybrid devices can replace these with one durable device that provides the connectivity, bright screen and vehicle storage you need. This makes work easier, improves ergonomics and increases productivity.

The challenge of mobile work: poor ergonomics

TOUGHBOOK54-2

Toughbook carrying cases, straps and docks make the devices easier to use and reduce strain in the field. The high-brightness display (500–1200 cd) is designed to remain clear even in direct sunlight or glare from snow. Vehicle, machinery and forklift docks ensure stability, connectivity and charging, making daily work smoother and more ergonomic.

Work stops when tech fails - Toughbook lasts

toughbook 40 mk2 tactical

In mobile work, ordinary laptops are easily affected by vibration, temperature fluctuations and humidity, which can lead to breakdowns and interruptions in production - up to 18% need repair each year. The Toughbook is designed to withstand these conditions thanks to its robust structure and resistance to temperature and humidity, so operations can continue.

The device runs out of battery in the middle of a working day

panasonic toughbook mobility

In mobile work, constant screen use, network searches, Bluetooth accessories and cold weather can all drain the battery faster and risk cutting tasks short. With Toughbook’s long-lasting batteries, hot-swap capability and energy-efficient connectivity, you can rely on your device to keep going through the entire shift without charging breaks.
