The company is engaged in the production of plastic windows. At one of the stages of production there is such a role as "Glass Nose". This is far from white collar. In fact, this is a loader whose goal is to select a product ready for glazing from the list, come to the warehouse of double-glazed windows and bring all the double-glazed windows for the selected product to the glazing area .

As part of the automation of production processes, we have already written a real-time web application adapted for a tablet, which allows you to quickly see the list of products ready for glazing and information about where the double-glazed windows are stored for them in the warehouse. There was only one problem left: to decide on the model of the tablet.

I specifically described the workflow so that it was clear in what conditions the tablet would have to be used. It is worth adding that the production of plastic windows is not the cleanest. Conditions are far from office. Employees may occasionally go outside. And there in winter and -30 is not uncommon.

Does anyone have an example of using tablet devices in such conditions, I will be glad to know what you use and what are your impressions. Thanks in advance.

the concepts of “cheap” and “production operating conditions” are incompatible
, perhaps buying one of these devices on ebay
www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=toughbook&_frs=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m359 or habrahabr will help you. ru/blogs/iTablet/132131/
why on eBay? but because in Russia the prices for such devices are not just horsey, but cause sincere bewilderment

You do not need a glamorous tablet, but a normal heavy duty communicator like motorola mc55
