Boost frontline efficiency with the NEMA 4X tablet enclosure. While consumer-grade tablets provide quick access to manufacturing software, they don’t offer the protection required to perform reliably in washdown or high-risk environments. That’s where Armagard’s iPad enclosure makes the difference.

This stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure protects a 10th generation iPad from damage while allowing easy cleaning to meet strict hygiene standards. Using iPads directly on the production line gives operators faster workflows and improved productivity.

Why Use a Tablet Enclosure?

The industrial cleanroom iPad enclosure transforms a tablet into a fully protected industrial device. It improves efficiency and enhances communication by enabling workers to access dashboards, software, and email directly on the shop floor. Mount the enclosure with a VESA bracket for reliable use in washdown areas, or use it handheld to give staff KPI access throughout your facility.

The NEMA 4X sealing provides protection against water, dust, and residue ingress, while the 316 food-grade stainless steel body allows safe cleaning with harsh chemical agents. The ABS plastic front includes a 150µ explosion-proof cover that ensures a smooth touchscreen experience, even when operators wear gloves. Employees maintain fast workflows and maximum shop-floor safety by keeping their PPE on.

The iPad enclosure is ideal for use in:

  • Food and beverage production
  • Pharmaceutical applications
  • Industrial environments
  • Clean warehousing
  • Laboratories

Five Benefits of the Stainless Steel Tablet Enclosure

Use the tablet enclosure to boost frontline hygiene compliance, workflow, and uptime.

1. Improved Frontline Productivity

The industrial cleanroom iPad enclosure provides staff with access to digital systems without leaving the shop floor. Instant access to KPIs, data entry, process monitoring, and quality control systems boosts productivity and accelerates workflows.

2. Easier Frontline Compliance

Achieve strict hygiene standards with the enclosure’s NEMA 4X rating and 316 stainless steel body. Fast washdowns using high-pressure jets and strong cleaning agents make frontline compliance straightforward.

3. Extended Device Lifespan

Safely integrate consumer-grade tablets into production workflows. With protection against intensive cleaning, physical impact, and particulate ingress, the industrial cleanroom iPad enclosure extends tablet life and delivers long-term cost efficiency.

4. Greater Frontline Reliability

Maximize production uptime with tablets built to handle demanding environments. The iPad enclosure provides the protection required for reliable 24/7 performance in harsh conditions.

5. Enhanced Frontline Learning

Support workforce development by delivering training directly on the production floor. Operators can watch instructional videos, complete courses, and review manuals without leaving the equipment they’re working on.

The tablet enclosure’s food-grade design helps you meet strict hygiene standards.

Use iPads with confidence in washdown settings with the enclosure’s protection and food-grade design:

  • 316 stainless steel: Designed for clean industries. The 316 stainless steel body is antibacterial and provides superior corrosion resistance, hygiene, and durability compared to 304 stainless or ABS plastic.
  • NEMA 4X rating: Delivers protection against dust ingress and high-pressure washdowns.
  • Versatile mounting: Install the industrial cleanroom iPad enclosure on a desk, stand, or wall (VESA mounting), or use it as a handheld device for operator mobility.
  • 150µ explosion-proof cover: Protects the screen from scratches and impacts. Operators can use the touchscreen with gloves, maintaining fast workflows while keeping PPE on.
  • Secure protection: Four screws secure the front panel, keeping the iPad safely locked inside the enclosure.
