GE Intelligent Platforms Wolverine III rugged flat panel computer

GE Intelligent Platforms has released the Wolverine III rugged flat panel computer, designed to withstand harsh, hazardous applications such as oil and gas exploration and drilling where salt, spray, dust, shock, vibration and extremes of temperature are present.

The resistive, 38 cm antiglare, scratch resistant touchscreen is readable even in direct sunlight and enables it to operate within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C, as standard, and to withstand extreme shock and vibration.

The computing platform is a COM Express module and carrier board. At the heart of the module is a Core2 Duo 2.26 GHz processor with 4 GB of DDR3 memory.

It also has a reduced component and subassembly count, together with edge connection and a 32 GB solid state disk drive.
