The Tab-Ex Pro is reportedly the first 10” Div. 2 certified tablet.

Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom expands its Tab-Ex tablet series with the Tab-Ex Pro, based on the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro. The new tablet features a larger 10” touch screen, reportedly making it the first Div. 2 certified Android tablet of its size. Combining high performance with applications such as augmented reality, the Tab-Ex Pro provides users with a desktop-like experience outside of the field.

The Tab-Ex Pro is suited for IIoT-capable applications and simplifies data exchange with SCADA / DCS systems, enterprise resource planning systems (SAP, IBM Maximo), project management systems and computer-aided system planning. Even with its large 10” screen, Tab-Ex Pro is a compact, lightweight tablet ideal for a wide range of tasks such as inventory, material tracking, maintenance and supply chain and asset management.

Tab-Ex Pro runs on a high-performance Android 10 operating system, featuring a powerful Qualcomm SDM670 Octa-Core 64-bit 2.0 GHz, 1.7 GHz processor with 4 GB RAM. This improved hardware is capable of supporting complex augmented reality applications. The software delivers all the underlying, existing data directly to the user in real time, while also making it shareable on the company network. Augmented reality provides more transparency and helps make processes safer and faster—from planning to operation and maintenance.

The Tab-Ex Pro ensures seamless access to all information, including detailed master and repair data, allowing employees, experts, teams and project groups to collaborate quickly and in real time. In addition, documents and templates that are virtually impossible to edit with a smartphone or PDA can be viewed on the tablet's 10-inch display without scrolling, increasing process efficiency.
