When we talk about the user who uses our products, or the people who will be the end users of all our projects at the "usability" level, we always ask ourselves the same question.
Will we be reaching 100% of their needs?
It is something that our team of engineers always puts in value, since, in cases like this, that the needs are dedicated to engineers in the mining field, you always have to check all the environmental factors that have in their environment to use what kind of products.
But what does a mining engineer actually do?
A Mining Engineer, does what refers to the projection, organization and direction of the necessary work to perform the extraction from the earth of minerals, which are considered as solid, as well as metallic or non-metallic. And through techniques and what is called mining works, he/she is directed to carry out the extraction of the resources that are minerals.
So, after this first observation, from Tempel Group, we reviewed the main features to incorporate into this project, in which the resource had to be ergonomic, technical and fast in navigation speed, and most importantly, suitable and certified for explosion work. Nothing better than the Getac S410 ruggedized computer, for this.
About the Atex and IECEX certificates that Getac offers on many of its products:
The ATEX Directive, which has emerged and is applicable worldwide, describes what type of equipment and environment is permitted for work in an explosive atmosphere. This regulation applies to all equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres, whether mechanical or electrical, including protection systems.
IECEx is a system that facilitates international trade in equipment and services for use in explosive environments. It is a globally mandatory standard to ensure that explosion-proof equipment and systems are safe for use in IECEx countries. IECEx has numerous conformity assessment systems.
About the best product for the mining field:
For this project, our Tempel Group Technical Engineering team was clear from the start; we had to provide the best rugged computer with a wide operating temperature range (-29°C to +63°C) that would maintain productivity in all environments and state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for faster and more reliable wireless transmission than ever before.
About Getac S410:
The S410 has been designed to make work less cumbersome and to adapt to the way each user works. Its new 14-inch display and a brightness of 1000 nets with nets® 2.0 makes it easy to read in direct sunlight, while the various touchscreen input options, whether with your fingers, a stylus or gloves, mean you always have the right tool at hand for data entry. In addition, if ambient light is low, the S410 features a backlit keyboard that, together with our new larger touch panel, minimizes potential typing and other data entry errors while working in the dark.
