Many of you may wonder, why aren't the tablets we use every day integrated as control platforms for vehicles, particularly for heavy-duty machinery like tractors, excavators, or trucks? Instead, these vehicles usually sport specialized vehicle mount tablets, engineered to meet a range of vehicular control requirements. What separates consumer-grade tablets from these vehicle mount tablets? And why are the latter superior? Let's delve deeper!
CPDEVICE's High-End Vehicle Mount Tablet in Action on a Grader.
01: Ensuring Reliability and Durability
Heavy-duty vehicles like tractors and excavators operate under harsh conditions, grappling with dust, moisture, vibrations, and extreme temperatures. These stringent demands aren't factored into the design of consumer-grade tablets. However, vehicle mount tablets are meticulously designed considering these tough operational environments.
CPDEVICE's vehicle mount tablets ensure stability and durability by complying with stringent automotive standards and passing rigorous reliability tests. These include, but aren't limited to, exceeding IP65 dust and waterproof ratings, meeting MIL-STD-810 vibration resistance standards, and adhering to ISO16750 road vehicle standards. These devices can perform effectively under severe temperature and humidity conditions, and even after a 48-hour salt fog test, they maintain reliable performance. Such comprehensive design and testing assure the durability and stability of vehicle mount tablets, aptly meeting the needs of heavy-duty vehicles in various environments.
02: Communication and Data Transmission Capabilities
Unlike consumer-grade tablets, vehicle mount tablets offer a wide array of communication options, delivering precise, real-time support for diverse vehicle operations, thereby enhancing vehicular intelligence and automation. Vehicle mount tablets typically support numerous peripheral communications like UART, RS485, RS232, CAN, enabling seamless integration with the vehicle's communication system and efficient data transmission. In contrast, consumer-grade tablets often find it challenging to directly integrate with the vehicle's communication system, which may hamper data transmission efficiency.

03: Software Development Efficiency and Compatibility
Heavy-duty machinery necessitates bespoke software and real-time data processing, with stringent safety regulations. Consumer-grade tablets are generally unsuitable for these demands. CPDEVICE's CP-Comm componentized high-speed bus architecture empowers customers to manage software development in just four steps, significantly improving development efficiency while allowing a focus on core business operations.
04: Operating System Choices
While most consumer-grade tablets operate on iOS and Android systems, vehicle mount tablets often require a broader selection, including Linux and Windows, to cater to their specific needs. CPDEVICE's vehicle mount tablets support both Android and Linux on a single hardware platform, granting customers the freedom to choose based on their specific needs and preferences, ensuring superior adaptability and customization.

05: Cost
Consumer-grade tablets available on the market often lack customizable options, potentially failing to meet specific functionality requirements or over-provisioning. Conversely, CPDEVICE, through its extensive industry experience, can accurately identify industry and customer requirements, enabling it to precisely determine configurations during the product design and research phases.
06: Ease of Use
As heavy machinery often operates in bright light, where consumer-grade tablets may perform poorly, professional vehicle mount tablets feature high-brightness display screens, ensuring clear visibility under all lighting conditions.
