Rugged Industrial Simatic MD57A– Built to Perform, Anywhere.

Here’s why we outperform the notebook supplied by Siemens in every critical way:

✅ Twice the Ruggedness
Our design exceeds MIL-STD-810H and IP65 standards, offering enhanced drop resistance, superior dust and water sealing, and a wider operating temperature range. Built for real-world abuse in oilfields, factories, and military-grade environments.

✅ Half the Price — Full Performance
Why pay more for less? Our industrial laptop delivers the same Intel® Core™ i7 performance, with high-speed SSD options, up to 64GB RAM, and modular expansion — at less than 50% of the price of the Siemens Field PG M6.

✅ No Wait. No Delay.
Available NOW — in stock and ready to ship. No 6-12 week lead times or corporate red tape. Get your rugged systems deployed when you actually need them.

✅ Designed by Professionals, for Professionals
We build for harsh industries — not boardrooms. Every detail, from hot-swappable batteries to legacy port support (like RS-232, ProfiBus Adapter MPI), is crafted to serve real-world field work, not just look good on spec sheets.

✅ Fully Customizable
Need specialized I/O, GPS, barcode scanning, or a secure boot configuration? We can tailor it in-house to your project’s exact specs.

✅ Comes with a full suite of SIEMENS software pre-installed
