As the world’s leading steel and mining company, ArcelorMittal aims to produce ever smarter steels that have a positive effect on people and the planet. Steels made using innovative processes that consume less energy emit much less carbon and reduce costs, resulting in cleaner, stronger and reusable steels. The company also produces steels for electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructures that will support societies in their transformation over the coming decades.
By equipping itself with the Getac F110 and A140 total solutions for the past three years, ArcelorMittal France has benefitted from IT solutions and accessories such as docking stations, chargers and remote antennas, as well as Getac’s Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, including accidental damage as standard. The total solution also includes technical service project monitoring to adapt the solutions to changing needs.
Indeed, the fully rugged Getac F110 tablet enables ArcelorMittal users to work effectively in a difficult operating environment, thanks to its data storage capacity, autonomy and fast connectivity for transferring data quickly and efficiently.
In addition, the Getac A140 fully rugged tablet boasts a 14-inch screen, giving ArcelorMittal France’s workers the ability to access large amounts of information simultaneously, while its dual removable and hot-swappable battery design further boosts productivity.
“The Getac tablets have considerably improved the availability of our slab handling application and equipment. In fact, they have eliminated equipment-related network loss problems, as they can connect to the 4G/5G network,” explains Sébastien Denisselle, Decarbo Digital Project Manager, ArcelorMittal France Dunkerque.
This robust connectivity ensures that the operations are not disrupted by communication problems, which is essential in this operating environment. Furthermore, the tablets offer a user-friendly, intuitive interface that makes it easy to view and use the various applications, considerably improving the efficiency of teams in the field. This ease of use also enables operators to adopt the technology quickly.
“We’re very proud to support a major group like ArcelorMittal in its digital transformation and its drive to improve working conditions by equipping its teams with high-performance, mobile Getac rugged solutions,” says Jimmy Lin, Getac Technology France Director.
The Getac rugged solutions selected by ArcelorMittal offer a number of advantages:
“The flexibility of Getac tablets is a major advantage in busy operational environments. The ability to interchange tablets between different machines while remaining operational is a precious asset. This enables us to react quickly to changing needs in the field and optimise the use of our resources. Getac tablets play a key role in improving our productivity, efficiency, and ability to maintain high-performance operations, even in the most demanding situations,” adds Sébastien Denisselle from ArcelorMittal France.
