Tablets

Rugged industrial tablets are used for mobile data capture using Barcode and RFID technology, inspections, WIP (work-in-progress) tracking, equipment diagnostics, electronic batch records, and warehouse workflows — all without returning to a fixed workstation. BCI's industrial tablets support both Android and Windows platforms, letting teams run enterprise applications like WMS, MES, LIMS, and ESOP directly on the shop floor or in the warehouse. Their IP-rated, drop-resistant build means they continue to work in the harsh conditions where consumer tablets fail.

Rugged tablets are purpose-built for physically demanding environments — they carry IP ratings for dust and water resistance, are tested for drops, and include models certified for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous locations. These enterprise tablets have hot-swappable batteries and are optimised for business-critical applications, focusing on security, device management, and long-term OS support, but without the same level of physical hardening. BCI offers both types — the right choice depends on the environment's severity and whether explosive atmosphere certification is required.

Yes. BCI's rugged tablet range includes models certified for Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous locations, making them deployable in environments with explosive atmospheres — including certain areas in pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical plants, and oil & gas facilities. In cleanrooms, they provide contamination-controlled access to electronic SOPs, batch records, and validated applications without compromising the controlled environment.

Yes. Industrial tablets from BCI integrate with WMS (Warehouse Management System), ERP platforms (including SAP), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), LIMS, and SCADA systems. They support real-time scanning, data entry, and system updates directly from the warehouse floor or production line. BCI provides device configuration and software integration as part of its deployment support, so tablets are set up and ready to connect with existing enterprise systems.

BCI's industrial tablets support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GSM/LTE connectivity, ensuring teams stay connected while moving through large facilities. Both GSM and non-GSM variants are available. Long-lasting batteries are standard to support full-shift operation without interruption, and advanced connectivity ensures real-time sync with backend enterprise systems.

BCI's tablets are available in both Android and Windows variants. Android is typically preferred for warehouse and operational scanning workflows due to its ecosystem of enterprise apps and Zebra's Android-first strategy. Windows is preferred where existing enterprise software is Windows-dependent or where users need desktop-grade applications.

Yes. BCI provides end-to-end implementation support, including device configuration, software integration, on-site deployment, and user training. BCI also supplies genuine spare parts and provides on-site service — helping extend device life and ensuring consistent performance across enterprise-scale deployments. Our support team is available to extend post-sales support for device repair or maintenance.
