What is a Vehicle Tablet PC?
Sunboo proudly introduces the 2nd-Gen V12R Vehicle Tablet PC, a groundbreaking solution designed to boost the efficiency and productivity of agricultural machinery. This rugged, vehicle-mounted tablet blends advanced performance with durable design, making it the ideal choice for the agricultural sector.
Key Features of Vehicle Tablet PCs
Rugged Construction with IP65/IP67 Protection
Vehicle Tablet PCs are engineered for extreme durability. With IP65 or IP67 waterproof and dustproof ratings, they can withstand rain, mud, vibration, and constant exposure to outdoor conditions. Many models are also tested to MIL-STD-810H standards, meaning they can endure drops, shocks, and temperature fluctuations. This rugged construction makes them reliable for farming machinery, forklifts, and trucks operating in demanding environments.
Sunlight-Readable Touchscreen for Outdoor Use
Unlike consumer tablets, vehicle-mounted PCs are equipped with high-brightness, sunlight-readable displays that remain clear even under direct sunlight. The touchscreens often support glove operation and resist scratches, ensuring visibility and usability in dusty fields, warehouses, or construction sites. This feature improves productivity by allowing operators to access navigation systems, real-time inventory data, or field instructions without visual limitations.
Extended Battery & Stable Connectivity Options
Designed for long work shifts, these devices offer extended battery life and hot-swappable battery options to ensure uninterrupted operation. In addition, they provide multiple connectivity choices, including Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, GPS, and Bluetooth, to maintain seamless communication and data transfer on the move. Many models also include CAN bus, RS232/RS485, and LAN ports, allowing integration with agricultural machinery, telematics systems, or warehouse management software.
High-Performance Processor for Vehicle Applications
The V12R tablet uses the Rockchip RK3568 processor, with an option to upgrade to the RK3568J for advanced needs. This processor, designed for automotive control systems, combines high performance with low power consumption.
Its 64-bit Cortex-A55 quad-core CPU runs up to 2.0GHz, enabling smooth multitasking for fleet management, navigation, and real-time data processing. Moreover, the built-in NPU provides 1T computing power, supporting AI-driven tasks. As a result, the V12R is a reliable choice for smart agriculture, logistics, and other modern industrial operations.
Bright and Durable 10.1-Inch IPS Display
The V12R features a 10.1-inch IPS screen that delivers sharp visuals and excellent readability outdoors. With 700 nits of brightness, the display remains clear even in direct sunlight. Additionally, the full lamination design reduces glare and improves viewing angles.
To withstand rugged use, the screen integrates 7H hardness glass, offering scratch resistance and durability. Its 5-point capacitive touchscreen supports precise operation, even with gloves. Therefore, the V12R ensures reliable interaction for industrial, agricultural, and vehicular applications.
Built to Endure Harsh Agricultural Environments
The V12R Rugged Tablet PC is specifically engineered to perform reliably in challenging outdoor conditions. With an IP67 protection rating, it is fully dustproof and water-resistant, ensuring stable operation in rain, mud, and other demanding agricultural environments.
Furthermore, it complies with ISO16750 road vehicle standards, proving its resilience against vibration, shock, and long-term vehicle-mounted use. It also functions in extreme temperatures from -30°C to 70°C. In addition, the automatic over-temperature shutdown protects hardware and ensures uninterrupted operation.
As a result, the V12R delivers lasting durability, making it an excellent choice for farmers, fleet operators, and industrial users who need dependable technology in the harshest environments.
Vehicle Tablet PC vs. Standard Tablet
To better understand the advantages of a rugged Vehicle Tablet PC, here’s a comparison with standard consumer tablets:
| Feature | Vehicle Tablet PC | Standard Tablet |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Built with rugged housings, shock absorption, and tested to MIL-STD-810H standards | Easily damaged by drops, vibration, or harsh handling |
| IP Protection | Rated IP65/IP67, dustproof and water-resistant, suitable for outdoor and in-vehicle use | No IP rating; vulnerable to dust, moisture, and spills |
| Battery Life | Extended battery options with hot-swappable design; supports all-day industrial work | Standard batteries; shorter runtime, no hot-swap feature |
| Display Quality | Sunlight-readable screens with anti-glare technology; glove-compatible operation | Optimized for indoor use; difficult to view in direct light |
| Connectivity | Equipped with CAN bus, RS232/RS485, multiple USB, LAN, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, and GPS modules | Limited to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; lacks industrial interfaces |
| Use Cases | Ideal for farming machinery, logistics, forklifts, construction equipment, and emergency vehicles | Best for office tasks, retail, and light indoor use |
👉 This comparison clearly shows why vehicle tablet PCs are the preferred choice for industries that require reliable, rugged computing in harsh or mobile environments.
Applications of Vehicle Tablet PCs in Industrial Fields
Farming & Agricultural Machinery
In modern farming, vehicle tablet PCs are widely installed in tractors, harvesters, and sprayers to support precision agriculture. Farmers use them to monitor soil conditions, control automated machinery, and track GPS-based planting or harvesting routes. With real-time data synchronization, agricultural operators can improve efficiency and reduce resource waste while ensuring consistent crop quality.
Logistics & Warehouse Operations
Vehicle-mounted tablets play a critical role in forklifts, delivery trucks, and warehouse vehicles. Workers rely on them for barcode scanning, route navigation, and inventory management. The ability to sync data in real time with warehouse management systems (WMS) ensures accurate stock control and faster order fulfillment. This integration minimizes delays and helps logistics companies maintain on-time deliveries.
Construction & Field Engineering
On construction sites, rugged vehicle tablets allow engineers and operators to view digital blueprints, update project schedules, and communicate with headquarters in real time. Their durable design means they can withstand dust, vibration, and sudden impacts commonly found in fieldwork. This ensures uninterrupted task execution, even in demanding environments such as road construction or mining projects.
Public Safety & Emergency Services
Public safety teams and emergency responders often use vehicle tablets as in-vehicle command centers. In police cars, fire trucks, or ambulances, these devices provide real-time communication, GPS tracking, and access to critical databases. In ambulances, medical teams rely on tablets to input patient data, access electronic health records, and share updates with hospitals before arrival, improving response speed and patient outcomes.
