Frequently Asked Questions

A rugged handheld is a compact mobile computer designed for front-line workers who need reliable data capture outside an office environment. Unlike consumer smartphones, rugged handhelds combine a reinforced housing, IP-rated dust and water protection, drop resistance, a physical scan trigger and an integrated 1D/2D barcode scanner, so they can be used continuously in warehouses, vehicles, yards and outdoor sites.

A rugged handheld is a pocket-sized, one-handed device of roughly 5 to 6.5 inches, optimised for scanning and quick data entry. A rugged tablet has an 8-inch or larger screen and is better suited to viewing documents, drawings, dashboards or applications that need more display area. Many projects deploy both: handhelds for picking and scanning, tablets for inspection, dashboards and field reporting.

Rugged handhelds are widely used in warehouse and logistics operations, manufacturing and material traceability, retail store management, transportation and fleet delivery, field service and inspection, public safety, and utilities and energy. Their small size and integrated scanning make them the default tool wherever workers record data while standing, walking or driving.

TERVEX rugged handhelds are designed with IP65 or IP68 dust and water protection and tested for 1.5m drop resistance, with selected models certified to MIL-STD-810G or MIL-STD-810H for vibration, shock and temperature range. The exact rating differs by model and configuration, so users should review the product specifications for their intended application.

The choice depends on your software and IT policy. Android handhelds are usually preferred for mobile scanning workflows, custom apps and lower deployment and management costs. Windows handhelds are often selected when existing WMS, ERP or legacy enterprise software must run natively on the device, or when desktop-class peripheral support is required.

Yes. Most TERVEX rugged handhelds include an integrated 1D/2D barcode reader, and selected models support long-range scanning of up to 10m for yard, rack and high-shelf reading. Scan engine type and trigger configuration can be specified for projects that require a particular symbology support or reading distance.

In most cases, yes. Android models run standard Android applications and can be integrated through existing APIs or middleware, while Windows models support Windows 11 or Windows 10 applications. TERVEX works with distributors, system integrators and enterprise buyers to confirm OS version, memory, storage, scanning, communication and peripheral requirements before deployment.

Yes. TERVEX offers OEM and ODM services including private labeling, logo and packaging customization, hardware configuration adjustments, accessory bundling and software preloading.
