The Surface range of tablets is a productivity powerhouse. More than adequate for excel, coding and basic office tasks. At a desk or in your bed, the Windows hardware is arguably the best on market.
But, outside the office the big shiny screens and sleek, sexy hinges are a magnet for operational issues, screen glare and pain to charge. Just overall impractical for manual tasks.
However, when paired with MobileWorxs Expertise in Rugged Mobile Technology, Surface really can be used anyway. The Surface offers complete diversity with a 2-in-1 experience, providing the functionality of a laptop and tablet.
#1 Field Service
The internals of any Surface Tablet are more than capable of the basic needs of field service. Though these units take a battering. Wrapped in our MIL-STD 810G xCase, the Surface is rated for 22 repeated drops from 1.2M (hitting all angles of the case).
Therefore, you can confidently use the Surface with the rugged xCase in a variety of outdoor scenarios. You can securely carry the device, thanks to the integrated back hand strap and briefcase handle. This reduces the chances of dropping the Surface. The rugged xCase has a range of compatible solutions. For field workers, the magnetic snap mount enables easy & quick mounting almost anywhere.
#2 Warehouse & Stock Management
Pairing Bluetooth scanners of having cables hanging around are a recipe for disaster in a busy warehouse. Our Barcode Scanning case gets rid of all of those giving your operators a simple all-in-one solution, that can scan at the press of a button. With all the same rugged-ability as the standard case.
#3 Shipping & Logistics
Manually measuring and entering information is time-consuming & prone to errors. What if you could take a picture of a box and automatically have the dimensions loaded into your ERP? The optional 3D camera is perfect for users that don’t have time to calculate measurements. Using the xDim 3D camera solution attached to the Surface you can scan a box or warehouse space to calculate the dimensions quickly and accurately with consistent growing demand in e-commerce, it’s essential to have efficient, automated warehouse processes.
Well, using the xDIM & the Intel Real Sense Camera is now possible! With an additional Bluetooth scale you can capture your weights at the same time
#4 POS Payment & Queue Busting
POS Tills have been left behind in the wake of technological advancement. Self-Service Check Outs lack the Personal Touch.
MobileWorxs has a fully integrated POS system built into the case to protect your Surface device. As well as, being mounted to your standard till it can be popped off for Queue busting & table ordering. Reducing wait times & increasing revenue.
#5 All of the above
The secret source for Surface comes when you have one device which can do all of the above. IT teams love that Microsoft is the OEM and know instead of having to juggle multiple vendors and support streams they can have one.
Boots on the ground love the fact they only need training on one device. They can go from a stock check to queue busting without missing a beat.
Instead of having a different device for each use case you can standardise and reduce your total fleet at the same time.
