Greetings!
I ask for assistance in finding a secure tablet.
It is planned to use it in production, in warehouses (hangar type).
I will use storekeepers accordingly (such brutal guys).
Therefore, it is required that the tablet be more dust-bullet-vodka impenetrable.
And the floors are concrete. Probably not very big - 7-10 inches.
Maybe use some kind of protective covers.
It is preferable to use Windows (according to the standard, we still have win7, to the edge of win8).
Here I found such an option - Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1
www.panasonic.com/business/toughpad/us/windows-tab...
But I have not seen anything for its operation (or similar).
Maybe someone has experience with such tablets, in such conditions, or has their own vision of the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Look also towards Algiz 7 . It is smaller and comes with Windows 7 by default. In terms of reliability, it is better than Panasonic in some places, and the price is very often cheaper. It so happened that protected computers from Panasonic are more widely represented on the Russian market, but this is only due to the fact that they began to be sold 10 years ago.
10 inches for a warehouse is definitely too much. You also need to understand why a tablet at all. They are used for more serious applications. For example, cartography, geo-prospecting, control over the installation of complex objects. Rugged PDAs will suffice in the warehouse, as inventory functions are few and they all shrink comfortably on smaller screens. Yes, and brutal guys will somehow scan boxes or goods?
Tablets are usually placed on forklifts, no one carries them with their hands. There are options for attaching to the shoulder, but then you can’t turn around in the warehouse.

For brutal guys with no less brutal fingers, a 7-inch is clearly not suitable, only 9-10 inches.

As far as I know, moisture, dust-proof and shockproof devices are produced by Dell.

Somehow I came across such a company - I don’t know the details, but judging by the descriptions, there are quite reliable ones.
