RuggON Fully Rugged Tablet Checks All the Boxes for T3RRA Terrain-Management Software

RuggON and T3RRA Now Offer a Complete Solution to Farmers and Others Who are Experts in Terraforming That Minimizes Downtime

RuggON, an international maker of ruggedized mobile solutions, and T3RRA, an international developer of easy-to-use, powerful terrain-management software, recently joined forces to provide the agricultural community with a total software-digital system compatible with the state-of-the-art John Deere technology and equipment that farmers use. While other manufacturers' tablets could satisfy much of T3RRA's needs, only the RuggOn PX501 included a serial port capable of handling the fast communication being sent and received by users of their software on equipment in the field.


"We pride ourselves in providing awesome software for awesome farmers," commented Gwen Brittain, Manager, North American Operations for T3RRA. "So, we needed an awesome rugged tablet to partner with. The RuggOn PX501 was it. It literally had everything we wanted. And having a serial port was like double icing on the cake. Our customers love how rugged and substantial the unit is, as it aids them in avoiding costly downtime. We're glad to be working with RuggOn and look forward to our relationship."

The RuggON PX501 10.1" tablet is fully rugged, meeting IP65, MIL-STD-810G, and MIL-STD-461G standards; is water and vibration resistant, making it perfect for in-cab use; supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise; and has multiple I/O ports, including an RS-232 serial port.

Its high-resolution WUXGA (1920x1200) and 1000 nits brightness sunlight-readable display is perfect for bright sunny days in the field. The unit is paired with an IP54 digitizer pen to ensure accurate touchscreen interaction. In addition, a quick-release function makes removing the tablet from the in-cab mount easy when it's quitting time.

The unit has many options and accessories: an optional ruggedized keyboard, docking station, in-cab 12V power adaptors and chargers, and more. RuggON also developed a pigtail to change the 12V to a 3-pin convenience-outlet option, making the PX501 even better and more practical for many users.

"We were thrilled when T3RRA told us the PX501 was everything they had been looking for and everything necessary to keep the John Deere equipment humming along, literally, out in the field," stated Tom Wang, RuggON North America CEO. "Farming has become a very technologically focused industry. The software T3RRA develops to help farmers get the most out of their land is truly amazing. Though we play a small part in the grand scheme of things, we feel blessed to have a role in providing food for the world."

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
