Working in the rugged outdoors is not for everyone. Unlike a desk job environment, a person in an oil field or in a mine comes into daily contact with a variety of challenges that can get messy pretty quickly for someone who does not know what they are doing. Fortunately the meticulous people operating in these industries are highly skilled individuals who are up to the challenge. That is fortunate for the rest of us. Where would we be without the fuel we need to drive our cars, the energy to heat our homes and businesses, and the access to prized materials like diamonds when the occasion arises? Yet these hard-working individuals can’t get the job done without the right tools.
Some of the unique challenges for those working in oil, gas, and mining industries are extreme temperature fluctuations, humidity, and unexpected movement. The latter can range from minimal vibration to falling rocks to larger scale explosions. Clearly not every kind of computer will be able to withstand these harsh conditions. Acura Embedded Inc. has designed and manufactured rugged solutions for nearly thirty years. Their systems can be relied upon in the harshest of environments.

Introducing the Powerbrick 6.0: this incredible computer system will not only survive intense hot and cold temperatures, flooding, and blasting, but it will continue to thrive in each of those situations.

It is known as a “powerhouse” and for good reason. The fan-less and heater-less Powerbrick 6.0 is an Intel Gen 4 Core i7-4650U 1.7GHz up to 3.3GHz. Its rugged aluminum alloy chassis system is able to operate at temperatures ranging from ‐40ºC ~ 70ºC and it can be stored at ‐40 ºC ~ 80ºC.

The Powerbrick 6.0 was built with the future in mind. Not only does it surpass current competitive models on the market today, but its modular architecture is designed to allow for easy upgrading and expansions, making it the ideal computer both for today and for tomorrow. Instead of having to always buy the latest model you can upgrade the one you have: simple and effective.

The compact size of the computer allows for easy installation in the location you choose, whether it be your vehicle or elsewhere. Its various features like the Smarter Vehicle Power Ignition for Variety Vehicle feature, the Support Dual Hot Swappable SATA Storage, Support 4 X Power Over Ethernet (POE), and the Wireless support LTE, 3.5G with SIM Card, WiFi?BT, and GPS Dead reckoning make this computer ideal for vehicles moving through rough terrain, and in all kinds of weather. Its non-proprietary connections ensure that you can use the Powerbrick 6.0 with any kind of external equipment and remain confident that it will easily interface with your mobile data terminal.
