What is a Mobile Workstation?

Many of you will ask, ” What is a mobile workstation?” A mobile workstation is a highly specialized piece of equipment designed to function as a central hub for data access, communication, and collaboration on job sites. Unlike traditional computers or office setups, mobile workstations are built to handle harsh environments and have features that ensure durability, connectivity, and real-time information sharing.

The iPlanTables Field Commander is a lockable, mobile jobsite workstation that brings advanced computing power to the field. Equipped with a 43” or 49” industrial 4K touch screen monitors, it allows for easy viewing and interaction with digital plans and specs, making it ideal for BIM sharing.

How iPlanTables Combines Performance and Mobility in One Unit

The Field Commander is built with mobility and performance in mind. Its rugged design ensures durability in tough job site conditions, while its casters make it easy to move from one location to another.

In terms of performance, the iPlanTables Field Commander is powered by a fanless i7 ruggedized external PC equipped with ample RAM, a spacious hard drive, and a robust video card. This setup ensures smooth handling of demanding applications, especially when dealing with high-resolution construction plans. The vented and cooled design further enhances the unit’s reliability, ensuring that it operates efficiently, even in extreme conditions.

Ruggedized External PCs: Why Fanless i7 Performance Matters for On-Site Jobs

A fanless i7 PC is one of the core components of the Field Commander mobile workstation, designed to withstand the dust, dirt, and temperature fluctuations of a construction site. Traditional PCs with fans can easily clog, overheat, and malfunction when exposed to these harsh elements.

By opting for a fanless design, iPlanTables ensures that the Field Commander operates smoothly without the risk of internal damage while still providing the computing power needed for detailed BIM workflows, 3D rendering, and other high-performance applications. The rugged build means you can rely on it no matter how challenging the environment is.
