For the transportation specialist

Media Cards Toggle Actions Published Panasonic TOUGHBOOK is the european market leader for rugged notebooks and tablets.

We work in partnership with rail, road, air, sea and maintenance organisations around the world to deliver fit-for-purpose vehicle-mounted and rugged mobile computing solutions, enabling field workers and engineers to be fully digitally connected wherever they are, come wind, rain, shine or snow.

Mobile working – particularly outdoors – can present its own unique challenges. But giving your workforce specialised rugged solutions can dramatically boost their efficiency, while delivering significant ROI benefits to your business.

"The collaboration with Panasonic has been particularly great; from answering all our questions and queries to loaning devices for the trial and listening to feedback about specific use cases.*"

Rail, road and maintenance organisations look to TOUGHBOOK when they are:

Facing high rates of device failures out in the field, impacting on their ability to deliver the best possible service to customers
Experiencing connectivity issues, and struggling to access critical applications and data in real-time when on the go
Frustrated with the performance of their current mobile computing solution
Looking to transition to next-generation mobile working.

Superior connectivity

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK is the one of the only rugged PC manufacturers that designs and builds its own antennas.

It allows us to optimise each device for the best possible connectivity. Even in low coverage areas your field workers and engineers will be able to access vital information and cloud applications remotely, without disruption and downtime.

Unrivalled durability

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK PCs are eight times more reliable than average industry notebooks without rugged features*

TOUGHBOOK devices operate where other technology fails. Military-grade durability, reliability and performance mean they’re ready to go whenever and wherever you need them – whatever the environment – maximising the productivity of your workforce.

Our devices are used in the most inhospitable conditions by transport professionals all over the world.

Decreased unplanned downtime

With our new Smart Battery technology and specially-adapted power management systems, TOUGHBOOK PCs and tablets are made for all-day working on just a single charge.

But battery life inevitably deteriorates over the lifecycle of a device. So we also offer our new Smart Battery Monitor software, which monitors the health of the battery to pre-empt potential issues before they arise.

And with our Smart Battery Warranty Replacement batteries can be sent directly to your field worker, wherever they are, before any disruption to their working day occurs.

A collaborative, end-to-end, tailored approach

From analysis and conception, to production, installation and beyond, our experts can work with you every step of the way to create the perfect, cost-effective and efficiency-boosting docking solution for your organisation.

Rapid concept to completion

With in-house TOUGHBOOK prototyping, we can realise your personalised solution concepts accurately…and fast. And with our concept in a day service, we can take your initial ideas through to concept in just 24 hours.

No compromising on passenger safety

Every TOUGHBOOK dock is put through comprehensive stress and vehicle impact testing, and comes with Panasonic certification.
