Xplore collaborates with Microsoft to accelerate Internet of Things solutions
July 11 2017 - 9:00AM
Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:XPLR), the Rugged Tablet
Authority™, today announced it has joined Microsoft Azure Certified
for Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring customers get IoT solutions
up and running quickly with hardware and software that has been
pre-tested and verified to work with Microsoft Azure IoT services.
Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT allows businesses to reach
customers where they are, working with an ecosystem of devices and
platforms, allowing for faster time to production.
By certifying four of the company’s popular rugged
tablets – the XSLATE R12, the XSLATE B10, the Bobcat, and the F5m –
to work with Microsoft Azure IoT services, Xplore is accelerating
and simplifying the integration of rugged mobility solutions into
today’s industrial manufacturing and field applications.
Xplore has been working with technology innovators such as
Microsoft for more than 20 years to engineer rugged tablet-based
mobility solutions that boast the right feature sets, workflow
capabilities, and accessories for customers’ current and future
business needs. With Xplore’s Windows-powered rugged tablets now
Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT, it will be easy and quick for
manufacturers, utilities, public safety agencies and other
customers to deploy completely integrated mobile workforce
solutions within their existing technology architectures.
“With the increased connectivity and digitalization
occurring across industries, the need for rugged mobility is only
increasing. Xplore has always built our rugged tablets with
customers’ interoperability requirements in mind. They’re meant to
stay in the field for 3-5 years minimum. As such, we ensure our
mobile computing platforms can connect to a host of operational
technologies and specialty peripherals,” said John Graff, vice
president of marketing, Xplore. “Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT
validates Xplore’s ability to jumpstart customers’ IoT projects
with pre-tested device and operating system combinations. We not
only decrease the usual customization and work required by other
devices to achieve compatibility, but we accelerate customers’
efficiency gains and overall mobility ROI when they deploy an
Xplore Windows tablet.”
“Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT extends our
promise to bring IoT to business scale, starting with interoperable
solutions from leading technology companies around the world,” said
Barb Edson, general manager for Data Platform and Internet of
Things, Microsoft Corp. “With trusted offerings and verified
partners, Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT accelerates the
deployment of IoT even further.”
IoT projects are complex and take a long time to
implement. Customers find that choosing and connecting the right
set of devices, assets or sensors to the cloud can be
time-consuming. To jumpstart their IoT projects with confidence,
customers are looking for certified devices and platforms that are
tested for readiness, compatibility and usability with the
Microsoft Azure IoT Suite. By choosing a partner from the Microsoft
Azure Certified for IoT program, customers can save time and effort
on project specs and RFP processes by knowing in advance what
devices and offerings will work with the Azure IoT Suite.
