Use Cases

Mobile Solutions Enhance Efficiency during Operation
The integration of augmented reality applications and connectivity to higher-level information systems combines virtual and real process data and makes your system transparent. This not only provides information about device status and process data, but it can also identify the appropriate system equipment, preventing malfunctions. Whether for navigation through the plant or for maintenance—processes become safer, more user-friendly, and more efficient.
Maintenance in Line with Industry 4.0
Processes and related information are no longer simply visible, but are superimposed directly on the display—without any navigation whatsoever. This enables real-time maintenance. Users can access maintenance cycles and corresponding documentation on-site. Predictive maintenance is also possible, as deviations in the measured values are identified ad fixed automatically.
Successful Turnaround Management Minimizes Downtime
System shutdown and startup procedures involve sensitive and time-critical processes with numerous coordinated activities. Tab-Ex® tablets offer support with augmented reality-based applications: error-free shutdown and startup procedures can be carried out quickly and efficiently with standardized support.
Real-Time Localization and Tracking of Assets
Due to increasing complexity, asset management is becoming increasingly important—especially for companies with multiple sites and numerous sales representatives. In combination with the right apps, organizations can benefit from increases in efficiency and productivity.

Samsung DeX Function

Samsung DeX Mode

Mobile and Desktop Experience with Only One Device

With the Samsung Desktop Experience (DeX) function, the Tab-Ex® 03 and Tab-Ex® 04 Pro can be used as desktop PCs. Simply drag and drop files from the tablet's DeX window to a compatible desktop PC with a larger screen, mouse and keyboard. This offers companies a cost-effective alternative to desktop-only PCs, allowing them to take full advantage of both designs! 





Samsung KNOX

Security Standard

High Security Standard for Your Mobile Devices

The KNOX mobile security solution is integrated into Samsung mobile devices to protect confidential data and processes. Using the KNOX platform, IT administrators can easily and reliably secure, deploy and manage corporate-owned mobile devices. This ensures that all business requirements are met throughout the device lifecycle, and that confidential data is protected against malware or phishing attacks at all times. Corporate information can only be accessed by an authorized person―which means even if a device is lost, all data remains protected.

Digital Products and Services






Digital Products and Services is a solution that combines automated staging, mobile device management, and device analytics. It can also be deployed as a full-fledged enterprise mobility management system if desired.

At the customer’s request, ecom’s mobile devices can be shipped from the factory with predefined custom configurations such as security settings, applications, and wireless setup. This allows the devices to be deployed anywhere in the world immediately after delivery. The devices can be managed via ecom’s online platform and updated remotely at any time during operation, without the need for an on-site IT staff or headquarters.

In addition, the platform analyzes historical data to identify critical software events, installations, and other safety-critical processes. A statistical accumulation of events can be used to establish correlations and causalities between software errors, geographical data, and Wi-Fi coverage, for example.
