Reamda
builds its remote-controlled robotic solutions around Getac’s UX10 fully rugged tablet
Challenge
Reamda designs and manufactures innovative remote-controlled robotic solutions for complex tasks including bomb disposal/de-mining, demolition and surveillance. The company initially produced every component of its solutions in-house, including the tablets used in its remote-control units, but the high costs involved led the company to seek out a more practical COTS alternative.
Solution
Following an extensive review of the market, the only device that ticked all Reamda’s boxes was the Getac UX10 fully rugged tablet. Key features include a powerful Intel® processor, ergonomic 10” screen, fully rugged reliability, light weight, and matte black finish – an essential requirement for its customers in the military and defence industries.
Benefits
Since implementing the UX10 at the heart of its universal controller unit two years ago, feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Getac’s engineers also worked closely with Reamda at the outset to ensure the UX10 interfaced seamlessly with the company’s controllers, resulting in a streamlined and cost effective manufacturing process from day one.
“Implementing the UX10 has taken a complex part of our solution and made it much simpler. The controller interface is now COTS across the board, making it easy to build and maintain, while offering both significant cost savings and increased reliability in the long run.”
