Panasonic’s Toughbook portfolio offers automotive service workers and management a unique and rugged way to get the job done. Ultra-mobile Toughbooks ensure maximum uptime by keeping service personnel in the field constantly connected for easier access to information with the ability to service automobiles in even the most hostile weather and field conditions. Built to go wherever crews need to go — whether in a tow truck to the scene of an accident, showroom floor of a dealership or under the hood of a car in the service bay — the Toughbook gives mobile workers the integrated features, portability and options required to make real-time decisions.
From the chassis in the service bay to the back-office parts department, the lightweight, portable Toughbook proves to be an unmatched rugged mobility strategy which can be carried to any point on the floor. Supported by a durable base strap, the handheld devices enable automotive field workers to work more efficiently without the hassle of going back-and-forth between safe and danger zones. As a global leader in lithium ion batteries, Panasonic’s Toughbooks are inevitably equipped with the highest-performance enterprise-grade li-ion batteries for 8-hour, full-shift operations, without downtime or delays due to recharging issues.
In the face of an emergency roadside assistance call or heavy maintenance service bays, Panasonic’s fully-rugged, magnesium alloy-reinforced Toughbook lineup is engineered to withstand drops, shocks, vibration, dust, water, and high- and low- temperatures. Enabled with 4G/LTE broadband connectivity, the integrated wireless antennas offer reliable mobile operation for rapid information delivery, through the reinforced walls of a service bay to claims vehicles and tow trucks on-the-road. Information can be directly uploaded from the tablet to the server via data connectivity and wirelessly communicated between the road and bay. The daylight-readable, water- and dust-resistant, sealed LCD screens deliver optimum visibility amongst the grime of a busy service shop, the side of a rush-hour freeway, or a dealership lot on a rainy day.
