Honeywell Thor VM1A, 1280 x 768 Pixel, 8 Inch, 4GB/32GB, Black Rugged Tablet

The Thor VM1A runs Android 8.1 Oreo on Honeywell’s Mobility Edge platform, giving you fast provisioning, easy app certification, and centralized lifecycle management. Its 8‑inch resistive touchscreen stays bright with an LED backlight, and the optional screen defroster lets you read data in freezers or cold‑storage aisles. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor at 2.2 GHz with eight cores, the tablet handles inventory apps, barcode scanning, and real‑time analytics without lag.

With 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal flash, you have ample space for mission‑critical software, while a microSD slot supports up to 512 GB for extra files or maps. The device is built for all‑day productivity: integrated Wi‑Fi 5/6, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC keep you connected to the warehouse network, printers, and handheld scanners. Ignition control links power to vehicle start‑up, reducing boot time and preserving battery life on forklifts.

The Smart Dock lets you mount and remove the tablet in seconds without touching cables, so you can shift the unit between vehicles as workloads change. If the touchscreen or keyboard fails, the field‑replaceable front panel can be swapped by in‑house staff, avoiding costly RMA cycles. Certified for operating temperatures from –30 °C to 50 °C and humidity up to 95 %, the Thor VM1A thrives in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.

Benefits

By choosing the Thor VM1A you gain a future‑proof investment protected with Android updates through Android R and two years of security patches via Honeywell Sentinel. Lower total cost of ownership comes from reduced maintenance, easy part replacement, and extended battery life through ignition‑controlled power management. The tablet’s compact 2.1 kg design fits comfortably on forklift consoles, while the robust build meets demanding logistics standards.

Maintenance crews replace a faulty front panel in minutes, returning the device to service without ordering a whole new unit. This combination of durability, connectivity, and easy service makes the Thor VM1A the ideal backbone for modern material‑handling operations.
