What is a vehicle-mount terminal?
There are many names for vehicle-mounted terminals. Vehicle Mounted Terminal, Vehicle Mounted Computer, Vehicle Mounted Unit. While the last term is essentially interchangeable, the main takeaway is that they are all installed in one type of vehicle. On-board computers have powerful computer capabilities in an easy-to-use configuration. They are specifically designed to withstand the vibrations of forklifts, delivery trucks and many other vehicles. On-board units help increase productivity and reduce errors. These units are also very durable, as they typically have an IP65/IP67 rating.
In-vehicle PC or rugged tablet? Which is right for you?
The answer is simple - it depends on how you use the units. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. On-board terminals tend to be more stationary, as they are usually attached to forklifts or other vehicles. A rugged tablet can be mounted to the vehicle, but it is also easier to remove from the mount than a standard vehicle-mounted computer. Are you working in a refrigerated environment? In this case, you need to use an in-vehicle terminal. rugged Tablets do not have a heated battery or a heated screen capable of preventing condensation. In-vehicle computers are still more durable than rugged tablets. Rugged tablets offer more features, but in-car computers are more durable.
