Customer Needs
AttriX’s clients operate under challenging conditions and require robust equipment to support their operations. Changing weather, rough handling, and constant travel demand devices that can withstand rugged conditions while providing secure, real-time data access for seamless telematics integration. Additionally, drivers need support for key compliance and workflow tasks, such as pre-trip inspections and documentation, without compromising operational continuity. A device that is rugged, user-friendly, and designed to operate efficiently in various environments is essential to meet these demands and improve overall fleet productivity.
Solution
Built for Tough Conditions
AttriX partnered with Samsung to implement the Galaxy Tab Active5 and Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro devices designed to endure challenging environments. With IP68-rated¹ water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810H certification², these rugged tablets withstand frequent drops, severe temperatures, and rough handling, all common in the heavy-duty transportation industry. Glove Mode allows drivers to operate the devices without removing their gloves, simplifying pre-trip inspections and other essential tasks, especially in cold weather. Additionally, No Battery Mode enables continuous power via vehicle connection, ensuring devices stay active during extended trips and shifts.
Reliable Connectivity and Data Management for Real-Time Operations
The Galaxy Tab Active5 and Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro, equipped with 5G and Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, provide drivers with seamless access to telematics data and fleet management applications. In areas where connectivity is limited, these tablets’ processing power allows them to save data locally, ensuring that critical information is securely stored and accessible until a connection is restored. And high-resolution cameras on the tablets enable drivers to capture and store documents as they work, streamlining reporting processes by allowing data to be uploaded automatically when connectivity resumes. These features facilitate real-time fleet monitoring and efficient route planning, even in challenging network conditions.
Operational Efficiency with Streamlined IT Management
Samsung’s remote management capabilities allow AttriX to handle firmware and security updates seamlessly, keeping each device secure without requiring on-site IT support. Swappable batteries maximize device uptime by allowing quick battery replacements during long shifts, allowing for continuous device operation in demanding fleet environments. Remote updates keep each device up-to-date, enabling fleet managers to focus on optimizing operations rather than managing software.
