Applications of Rugged Tablets in Intelligent Logistics

1. AGV / AMR Control Terminal

An AGV without a control terminal is a robot without a brain. The W16H mounts directly on the AGV chassis or the operator's dash, running the fleet management software that tells the robot where to go, what to pick, and when to charge.

What the operator sees: real-time location of every AGV on the warehouse floor, battery levels, task queues, and exception alerts — all on a screen that survives vibration, dust, and the occasional collision with a pallet.

What the AGV sees: low-latency command signals over RS232 or Ethernet, plus Wi-Fi 6 backhaul to the central WMS. If the network drops, the W16H buffers commands locally and syncs when connectivity returns.

Why Choose CENAVA for Intelligent Logistics Solutions?

CENAVA specializes in industrial rugged computing solutions for smart logistics, warehouse automation, and Industry 4.0 applications.

Unlike consumer tablets, CENAVA rugged tablets are designed for continuous operation in industrial environments where reliability, connectivity, and customization are essential.


OEM/ODM, not just OTS. We do not force you to adapt your workflow to a fixed SKU. The W16H's port layout, scan module, and OS image can be configured before shipment. A typical hardware-OEM cycle — add an RS232 port, swap the battery, pre-load your AGV control software — ships in two weeks from confirmed spec.

Platforms that match your stack. Windows 10/11 for .NET-based WMS integrations; Android 13 for mobile-first logistics apps. Both run on hardware with the same IP rating and drop spec.

Support with a number. Our standard warranty is 12 months with advance replacement. Extended warranties and on-site service contracts are available for fleet deployments over 50 units.

Case Study: Rugged Tablet for AGV Logistics Robot

Case Study: AGV Fleet Control in a Jiangsu Distribution Center

A third-party logistics provider in Jiangsu Province operates a 12,000-square-meter distribution center with 24 AGVs moving inventory between receiving, storage, and outbound docks. In 2023, their existing control terminals — consumer Windows tablets in third-party cases — began failing at a rate of two per month. Downtime per failure averaged four hours, during which AGVs queued at charging stations with no task assignments.

The provider deployed 28 CENAVA W16H tablets, one per AGV plus four spares. Each tablet runs the fleet management software over Wi-Fi 6, with RS232 connections to the AGV's onboard PLC for low-latency command relay. The W16H's 10-hour battery covers a full shift, and the hot-swappable design means a dead tablet is a 90-second replacement, not a trip to the charger.

Six months in, terminal failure rate dropped to zero. AGV utilization — measured as time-in-motion versus time-idle — increased from 71% to 84%. The operations manager's comment: "We stopped buying tablets and started buying time."

FAQ

What happens when a consumer tablet goes into a warehouse?

It dies — usually within weeks. Dust gets into the charging port, a drop from a forklift cracks the screen, and the battery gives out before the shift ends. A rugged tablet is built to survive the same environment that kills consumer hardware.

How long does the W10Y battery last during a warehouse shift?

The 10000mAh battery runs 8–10 hours at 50% brightness with continuous Wi-Fi and barcode scanning. For two-shift operations, we offer a hot-swappable battery option — swap in 60 seconds without shutting down the tablet.

Can the A10ST run our custom Android logistics app?

If your app runs on Android 13 and does not require Google Play Services, yes. We can pre-load your APK at the factory and lock the device to kiosk mode so operators cannot exit the app. Send us your APK and we will test it on an A10ST engineering sample within one week.

What happens if a tablet fails in the field?

For deployments under 50 units, we ship advance replacements — you receive the replacement before returning the failed unit. For deployments over 50 units, we keep spare inventory at your site and provide on-site swap training for your maintenance team.
