Panasonic offers the Toughpad
Panasonic offers the Toughpad family of Android-powered tablets. The 10-in. and 7-in. devices, targeting mission critical and highly mobile workers, are supported by an ecosystem that includes an enterprise-focused app store, peripherals, developer tools, deployment support and more. The 10-in. Toughpad A1 is ideal for highly mobile outdoor workers in markets where exposure to extreme environments is a constant challenge and the consequence of a failure is significant. The device also can be used as a tool to optimize business processes as a cost-effective pen and paper replacement. The 7-in. Toughpad B1 targets similar markets but in applications where screen size is not as critical and where device mobility and portability are critical.

Rockmore International
Rockmore International introduced CrossFlow, a new drill bit especially suited for hard rock quarry drilling. The new design extends bit life and improves penetration rates for percussive drilling applications in abrasive and challenging rock conditions. The CrossFlow design is intended to provide more efficient rock cutting flushing from the bit face, leading to better penetration rates and increased bit life. Because of the geometry and placement of flush holes, flush grooves and tungsten buttons, the bit can remove broken rock chips away from the bit face quickly, says the company.
