Top Use Cases

Picking (8")

Compact, lightweight – ideal for handheld scanning processes.

Tight spaces

Fits situations where 11.6" is too large.

Outdoor/Industrial

IP66 + bright display – rugged for tough deployments.

Extremely Rugged

Built for tough everyday use: the R8 shrugs off dust, moisture, vibration, and hectic handling – ideal for mobile teams.

Protected on all sides and drop-resistant – so operations don't grind to a halt due to hardware failures.

More details (ruggedness)

It holds the MIL-STD-810H and IP66 certifications, making it protected against splash water and vibration and usable in a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.

With the integrated 800 nits display, you can work comfortably even in direct sunlight.

Extreme Performance

Fast enough for productive workflows – even with scanner apps, WMS/ERP, photos, and offline data.

Depending on the configuration, you get exactly the performance your apps really need in the field – without unnecessary oversizing.

More details (performance)

With the optional Intel® Core™ i7-1250U processor, even more performance is possible for demanding applications.

The RAM is 8 gigabytes, large enough for Windows® 11 and all Office applications.

The ultra-fast built-in 128 gigabyte NVMe PCIe SSD not only keeps boot time short but also offers plenty of storage space.

Extremely Connected

Stays reliably connected on the job – in the warehouse, in the vehicle, or out in the field.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard; we can optionally configure LTE/GPS to match your processes.

More details (connectivity)

The built-in USB 3.2 port lets you connect a mouse, keyboard, USB sticks, and similar devices.

With optionally orderable GPS and LTE, you can connect directly to the mobile network and retrieve location information.

Extremely Light

Compact and lightweight – ideal when you deploy a fully rugged tablet in a handheld workflow (weight/height depend on configuration).

Battery life depends on usage and battery option – we configure it so that a full working day is realistically covered.

Extreme Options

Options for your workflow: sunlight-readable display, barcode scanner, and – as needed – a serial RS‑232 port for machines/diagnostics.

That makes the R8 perfect when it needs to be fast, compact, and strong at scanning.

Extreme Accessories

Accessories for productive use: vehicle adapters, charging stations (multi-bay chargers), a stylus, plus smart card/RFID options and folio cases.

For mobile teams, also available: hand/shoulder straps and vehicle docking stations.

FAQ

FAQ – Durabook R8 (8" Rugged Tablet)

Who is the R8 the best choice for?

For teams that need a compact, one-handed tablet – e.g. picking, scanning, on-site service, or tight workspaces.

What really matters in everyday warehouse work?

Not data-sheet records, but availability: a rugged housing, a reliable connection, ergonomic handling, and a power/charging concept for shift operation.

Does a barcode scanner make sense?

If scanning is part of the core process: yes. In practice, integrated scanning saves time, reduces errors, and is more ergonomic than smartphone-based solutions.

Do I need LTE/GPS?

If you work outside stable WiFi zones (outdoor areas, vehicles, changing locations): LTE/GPS pays off. Otherwise WiFi is often enough.

How can shift operation be secured?

With suitable battery options (e.g. hot-swap), charging stations/multi-bay chargers, and a small pool of spare devices.

Can the R8 serve as a handheld replacement?

Often yes, if the workflows are scan/list/confirm. What matters is the right scanner/keypad/mounting setup.

What software typically runs on it?

WMS/ERP clients, scanning apps, forms/checklists, photo/document documentation, and browser-based tools. We tailor the configuration to your apps.

What do we need from you for a recommendation?

Industry, use case (scan/ID/forms), environment (indoor/outdoor), connectivity, quantity, and which software/MDM you use.
