i.safe Mobile has expanded its intrinsically safe product range with the launch of the IS945.x series rugged Windows tablets, designed for use in hazardous and demanding industrial environments.

The strategic integration of SafeUEM‘s comprehensive end-point management platform with i.safe MOBILE‘s certified intrinsically safe devices delivers a unified solution specifically engineered to address the challenges of managing technology in hazardous industrial settings.

The i.safe MOBILE IS940.1 tablet from Extech delivers the performance of a modern Android device, but in a package designed from the ground up for hazardous areas.

Extech is expanding its portfolio with the Windows-based tablets IS945.1, IS945.2, and IS945.M1. For the first time, EX certification is combined with full Windows compatibility, without compromising on software or security.

Extech specialises in hazardous area solutions, with offerings ranging from intrinsically safe Zenier Barriers and galvanic isolators to networking infrastructure, mobile devices and RTLS.

Leaking valves in industrial plants not only lead to loss, safety risks and possible contamination and pollution, but also result in high economic costs. Therefore, valves in hazardous areas require regular proper inspection and preventive maintenance to ensure their functionality.

i.safe MOBILE has launched the world’s first 5G smartphone for ATEX and IECEx zone 1/21. The intrinsically safe mobile device, which was also developed for use in 5G campus networks, offers companies great flexibility thanks to its wide range of possible applications, especially in the automation sector.

With all the focus on IS loop approval, it is easy to forget to check that the loop will function correctly to see whether the field device has sufficient power (voltage & current) to operate over the full process range.

Five areas where the requirements of IS are important and substantial to avoid ignition via mobile devices have been selected, with all references to SANS 60079-11:2012.
