Heavy-Duty Tablet Stand for Manufacturing Environments

Home / Case Studies / Heavy-Duty Tablet Stand for Manufacturing Environments

The challenge

In a manufacturing environment, tablets are increasingly used for process control, data entry, and system monitoring. However, standard tablet stands often lack the durability needed to withstand constant use, knocks, and vibrations.

A reliable solution was required—one that would:

Be strong and impact-resistant for long-term industrial use.
Support multiple tablet models, including Apple and Samsung.
Provide flexibility in mounting options for different workspaces.
Allow ergonomic adjustments to improve user comfort and efficiency.
Adapt to future tablet model updates without requiring a complete redesign.

The solution

To meet these requirements, we developed a versatile and heavy-duty tablet stand designed for factory and industrial applications. Key features include:

Durability and strength: The head of the stand is rotationally moulded, ensuring it can endure heavy use in demanding environments.
Flexible mounting options: The stand can be securely mounted on a fixed stand or attached to a wall, allowing for seamless integration into different workspaces.
Custom CNC-cut top plate: Precisely cut to fit various tablet models, ensuring a secure and stable hold.
Ergonomic adaptability: The modular design allows for customisation, ensuring an optimal viewing and usage angle for improved workplace efficiency.
Long-term usability: Designed to accommodate multiple tablet model updates, making it a future-proof solution.
