It can also be used to access online documents, digital photos, and videos.
Just like the previous model, the Tab-Ex® 02 for Zone 2/22 and Div. 2 has been developed in close cooperation with Samsung Electronics, the market leader for tablet PCs. The tablet computer is based on the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab Active2 that is equipped with a faster processor and the latest Android N operating system. Besides tried-and-tested functions, the Tab-Ex® 02 also comes with innovative features like a gyroscope for augmented reality scenarios that make Industry 4.0 applications easy to implement.
The Android-based tablet Tab-Ex® 02 for explosion-hazardous areas offers the oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries new customer-oriented mobile solutions for location-independent access to company data. Compact, lightweight, and certified for Zones 1/21 and 2/22, as well as Div 1. and Div.2, this tablet supports the “Mobile Worker” in handling various tasks and applications (asset surveys, material tracking, operator rounds, inspection and maintenance).
In addition to its large display, the explosion-proof tablet PC Pad-Ex® 01 for Zone 2/22 and Div. 2 features speedy fifth generation Intel®-Core™ i5/i7 CPUs and supports Windows® 10/Pro. Battery life lasts up to seven hours. The combination of robust usability and computing power suits this mobile device for outdoor use in any environment: It complements or even substitutes for desktop PCs, laptops, or wall-mounted displays.

It offers many global approvals for use in explosion-hazardous areas—from ATEX and ATEX mining, through IECEx, to NEC and MSHA mining.
The intrinsically safe barcode scanner/RFID reader Ident-Ex® for Zone 1/21 and Div. 1 is an efficient solution for challenging scan operations in explosion-hazardous areas. Due to its modular design, this robust handheld can be adapted to the requirements of different scan tasks. Different read head modules are available and can be easily changed. The Ident-Ex 01 uses Bluetooth for pairing with ecom base devices or any other mobile device.
BLE beacons are small Bluetooth beacons for Zone 1/21 and Div. 1 that emit a signal at periodic intervals.
