FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GammaTech Computer Corporation offers the railroad industry a complete DURABOOK line of rugged computing solutions to improve productivity, including inspections; maintenance and repair; crew management; safety and regulatory compliance; RFID locomotive and yard resource tracking; mapping; computer-aided dispatch; cargo and inventory management, and more.

The DURABOOK rugged computers are built to stringent MIL-STD-810G guidelines for drop, shock, spill, and dust protection, with many models having an IP65 rating, ensuring they are sealed tight from damaging water and dust intrusion. Their magnesium alloy case is 20 times stronger than ABS plastic, while their C face – including keyboard, keypad, buttons, and indicators – is designed for exceptional spill protection. Many models include enhanced wireless and communication capability with 4G, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connectivity; a daylight visible screen for bright outdoor situations; and an optional backlit keyboard for working in dark environments.

"GammaTech offers a full line of rugged computers that not only survive, but thrive on the rails and in a rail yard environment," commented Tom Wang, GammaTech president. "We offer portable and vehicle-mounted solutions to address the wide variety of needs found throughout the railroad industry. Rail car inspections and maintenance, to name a few, are ideal applications for our DURABOOK notebook and tablet computers."

Why DURABOOK Rugged Computing Devices
Access to real time information is vital to the railroad industry. Accuracy and efficiency are a must. The DURABOOK rugged notebook and tablet devices are built to operate and survive in work environments other computers can't match. The magnesium alloy casing is manufactured to resist vibration and shock, whether rumbling on a set of tracks or being manhandled out in the rail yard. The hard drive is shock mounted to protect vital data. An internal GPS feature enables pin-point location, and the multiple wireless connectivity options keep engineers and work crews in touch with their supervisors, no matter where the job takes them.
