In remote oil and gas fields, engineers travel hours to reach sites where they face dust, vibration, heat and cold. Devices act as lifelines, enabling them to capture data, coordinate with their teams and complete critical work. Three in four oil and gas workers say their devices are critical to their jobs and use them for more than five hours each day, yet 40 percent experienced three or more failures in the past year¹. In places where the nearest road is five hours away, crews know how important their device’s functionality on site is.

Oilfield teams struggle with devices that break under pressure. Dust and moisture damage ports, cracked screens appear after routine drops and batteries drain before shifts end. Nearly two-thirds of workers reported delays of more than an hour due to device failures, with many losing entire days traveling back for replacements². Devices without the ability to handle tough conditions cannot be taken onto volatile sites, leaving workers without tools in the moments they need them most.

Rugged design

Devices meet MIL-STD-810H³ standards and withstand dust, water, drops and extreme temperatures⁴. Workers can rest easy knowing their Rugged devices will be there during their toughest shifts⁵.

Safe to carry into volatile sites

Devices that allow teams to bring them into sensitive environments without hesitation. This keeps crews focused on the task ahead.

Configured for remote workflows

Programmable keys and customizable software let engineers access critical apps instantly. Launching schematics, logging data or pulling up site reports happens in seconds, saving valuable time when every minute counts.

Power that keeps crews in the Field

Replaceable and hot-swap batteries⁶ prevent devices from powering down during long shifts. With 95 percent of workers saying batteries must last their entire shift, this capability means crews stay operational all day without wasting trips back to base⁷.

Field teams using Rugged devices are confident their devices function through dust, cold and shocks while staying powered for the entire shift. Programmable keys help teams communicate more effectively to ensure full alignment and coordination when completing a complex task.

In an industry where nearly 40 percent of workers experienced three or more device failures last year⁹, Samsung Rugged devices will help teams stay productive and connected even in remote and harsh conditions.
