ArcelorMittal France, the leading steel and mining company in the world, has placed its trust in Getac's total rugged computing solutions since 2020. To facilitate their maintenance and production operations, the Dunkirk site in France employs rugged tablets, docking stations, vehicle power adapters, and remote antennas attached to the machines. The F110 and A140 tablets from Getac are reliable and ideal for use in materials handling equipment that is exposed to strong vibrations, heat, dust, and intensive screen use.
As the world leader in steelmaking and mining, ArcelorMittal is committed to producing smarter steels that have a positive impact on people and the planet. Innovative processes are used to produce steels that consume less energy, emit less carbon, and reduce costs, resulting in cleaner, stronger, and reusable steels. These steels are intended for electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure that will support societies in their transformation over the next few decades.
Over the past three years, ArcelorMittal France has benefited from IT solutions and accessories such as docking stations, chargers, and remote antennas, as well as a Total Warranty Cover that includes accidental damage, by equipping itself with Getac F110 and A140 total solutions. Technical service project monitoring is also included in the total solution to adapt to changing needs.
The fully rugged Getac F110 tablet allows ArcelorMittal users to work effectively in a difficult operating environment thanks to its data storage capacity, autonomy, and fast connectivity for transferring data quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, the fully rugged A140 tablet provides ArcelorMittal France workers with access to a maximum amount of information due to its 14-inch screen, resulting in more efficient and uninterrupted operations due to its dual removable and hot-swappable battery design.
Sébastien Denisselle, Decarbo Digital Project Manager at ArcelorMittal France Dunkerque, explains, “The Getac tablets have significantly improved the availability of our slab handling application and equipment. They have eliminated equipment-related network loss problems, as they can connect to the 4G/5G network.”
This strong connectivity ensures that communication issues do not interrupt operations, which is critical in this operating environment. The tablets also offer a user-friendly and intuitive interface that makes it easy to view and use various applications, greatly enhancing the efficiency of field teams. This ease of use enables operators to adopt the technology quickly.
“We are very proud to support a major group like ArcelorMittal in its digital transformation and its drive to improve working conditions by equipping its teams with high-performance, mobile Getac rugged solutions,” - Jimmy Lin, Director of Getac Technology France.
The Getac rugged solutions selected by ArcelorMittal offer several advantages, including improved connectivity and continuous availability thanks to 4G/5G, the 14-inch A140 rugged tablets with an interface that makes it easier to view documents, and flexibility of use and deployment for optimized operations. Accidental damage is covered by the Total Warranty cover “Bumper to Bumper.”
In conclusion, Getac's rugged solutions have greatly improved the availability and efficiency of ArcelorMittal's operations in a challenging operating environment. Their innovative technology, high-performance features, and user-friendly interfaces contribute to ArcelorMittal's commitment to smarter steels and sustainability.
