The mining sector is one of the main drivers of Colombia's economy, contributing more than 5 trillion pesos each year in royalties and taxes, which represents 2% of the country's GDP. This is possible because the Colombian subsoil is rich in mineral resources such as coal, nickel, iron, copper, precious metals (such as gold, silver and platinum), emeralds and different materials for industry and construction.
In a mine, dynamic and real-time decision making is key to improve the safety of the environment and people, and this is where Tempel Group plays an important role in this industry in Colombia, thanks to the offer of products in the engineering sector hand in hand with one of its main partners, 'Getac'.
Tempel supplies a major Australian multinational mining and metals company with 13 operations worldwide with a range of ruggedized tablets that are designed to operate successfully in all weather conditions, withstand shocks and drops of up to 1.8m, and deliver mining safety technology in high-risk, high-pressure environments.
For this project we supplied the T800 tablet designed to be protected from drops, shocks, spills, vibrations, dust, liquids and much more.
The T800 offers amazing battery life on a single charge and uses revolutionary LumiBond® 2.0 technology for an easier-to-read display with better contrast and sharper colors than any other rugged tablet. By bonding the display glass with the touch panel and LCD screen, a single panel has been created that is more durable and readable.
Control and monitoring in mines has been made easier with powerful and fast WiFi and Bluetooth that send real-time management inspection data, including predictive analytics. This allows potentially hazardous areas to be quickly cordoned off and reinforced to prevent cave-ins and protect workers. In addition, the powerful processing speed of our rugged devices has the ability to convert radar data into 2D images quickly, enabling informed decisions to be made immediately to improve mine safety.
Getac is one of our main partners offering solutions for professional use in extreme environments and conditions, being one of the leaders in the industry. With this partner we share a true passion for business on the move.
As one of the leading rugged computing suppliers, Getac offers the largest line of rugged computing products, including notebooks and tablets. Getac serves a wide variety of vertical markets such as military and defense, law enforcement, public safety, emergency services, utilities, natural resources, oil and gas, telecommunications, transportation and industrial production.
