ECOM PRESENTS THE TAB-EX® 03, THE THIRD GENERATION OF ITS 8-INCH ANDROID TABLET SERIES
The Pepperl+Fuchs brand ECOM Instruments continues the success story of its 8-inch Tab-Ex® series with the intrinsically safe Tab-Ex® 03 tablet in the DZ2 (for Zone 2/22 & Division 2) and D2 (for Division 2) variants. The successor model to the Tab-Ex® 02 is thus the third generation of Samsung devices in variants for industrial use in hazardous areas. Based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3, the Tab-Ex® 03 offers state-of-the-art technology for harsh environments as well as Android 11 with update guarantee. Samsung Knox ensures high security for data and devices. The Samsung DeX feature supports a quick switch to the desktop version. In addition, the tablet offers more RAM and external storage than the previous models.
Tab-Ex® 03 DZ2 and D2 delivers industry-leading performance in mobile devices for hazardous areas with a slim and lightweight design. It is easy to operate with gloves or the S Pen stylus. A desktop version as well as peripherals for industrial use make the Tab-Ex® 03 the perfect companion for the modern mobile worker. Digital products and services from ECOM complete the all-round solution. Thus, the Tab-Ex® 03 can be fully adapted to individual requirements and offers optimal support for everyday work.
Increased security for employees and companies
Compared to the previous version, the new Tablet Tab-Ex® 03 provides enhanced data protection and device security, for example through the new Enterprise Edition of Samsung Knox. As with all Knox-certified devices, it supports functions such as mobile login, configuration, management and E-FOTA (Enterprise Firmware-Over-The-Air) via a separately purchased license. Knox also provides basic protection against malware and data protection hacks.
To simplify access, biometric authentication methods via facial recognition or fingerprint scanner can be used for user authentication with the Tab-Ex® 03.
Like other mobile devices from ECOM, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3, as the base device of the Tab-Ex® 03, is part of the Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) program, which ensures consistent, easy deployment and management of mobile solutions through hardware and operating system support, as well as guaranteed Android upgrades and regular security patches within 90 days of release by Google. This way, users save time and money on device deployment and maintenance.
Increased efficiency and productivity for mobile workers
With the Tab-Ex® 03, mobile workers get a tablet with the latest specifications, which enables significant time and cost savings in the completion of their daily work - whether in the field or in the office. With the included S Pen stylus, users can make precise entries, quickly create notes, highlight texts or digitally sign documents - for example via Air Command or the Samsung Notes app. The S Pen writes like a real pen thanks to high pressure sensitivity, a 0.7 mm tip and 4,096 pressure levels. Its IP68-certification ensures its reliability under all conditions.
For taking photos and videos, the Tab-Ex® 03 is equipped with a 13-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash on the back as well as a 5-megapixel camera in the front. An optional version without camera is also available.
With integrated Google ARCore, the tablet is designed for comprehensive Industry 4.0 augmented reality applications, including environment recognition or object identification, e. g. for plant management or predictive maintenance of devices. This ensures a high level of quality, accelerates processes and minimizes risks.
Like other ECOM hardware solutions, the new tablet also has a Pogo pin for power supply and data transfer. The replaceable battery with a capacity of 5,050 mAh ensures flawless operation and a long operating time with a runtime of up to 11 hours.
Flexible use combined with high performance
Like other ECOM devices, the new tablet comes with a useful feature for office use: Via the Samsung DeX function, users can connect the tablet with a large screen and a keyboard and thus turn it into a desktop device. This quickly and easily turns the tablet for field use into a device for the office or home office. By replacing the desktop PC with the tablet, companies can implement a "one-device" strategy, saving significant costs for hardware, software and administration.
Users in the field benefit from the sleek and lightweight design of the handy 8-inch tablet. Thanks to a display resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixel, visualizations of e. g. construction drawings can be viewed with more detail and in a larger size compared to smartphones. An Exynos 9810 processor as well as an improved working memory of 4 GB contribute to an overall better performance. The internal memory of 64 GB can be expanded by up to 1 TB via a microSD card.
Like all ECOM devices, the Tab-Ex® 03 is also equipped with an individually programmable button, for example for a quick and effective alarm, emergency calls or push-to-talk (PTT).
Easy administration, global service and support
ECOM's Digital Products & Services division enables the staging, management and real-time monitoring of the Tab-Ex® 03, combining automated pre-configuration with comprehensive mobile device management and device analytics. This means that the tablet is not only easy to set up and manage, but can also be updated at any time - even over-the-air. Historical data analysis is possible at any time and supports the visualization of security-critical processes. The device can be used as a fully-fledged enterprise mobility management system. This helps to reduce the workload of IT departments and increase security during ongoing operations.
Global support by Pepperl+Fuchs and Samsung provides operational security and rapid assistance. Local contact persons and application engineers are available to answer questions, solve problems or carry out repairs as quickly as possible.
The Tab-Ex® 03 is available immediately in the DZ2 (for Zone 2/22 and Division 2) and D2 (for Division 2) variants, with the DZ1 (for Zone 1/21 and Division 1) variant following in mid-2022.
