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

The VM1A merges the familiar ease of the Thor VM1 and CV41 with Honeywell’s Mobility Edge™ platform. This Android‑based tablet runs Android 8.0, is upgradeable to Android R, and receives five extra years of security updates, protecting your investment long after typical devices become obsolete.

Its 8‑inch capacitive touchscreen delivers 1280 × 768 resolution and 900 cd/m² brightness, readable in bright warehouses or dim cold‑storage aisles. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, eight cores at 2.2 GHz, and 4 GB RAM ensure smooth data capture, barcode scanning, and real‑time inventory updates. With 32 GB internal flash storage and a microSD slot supporting up to 512 GB, you have ample space for apps, maps, and logs.

The rugged slate design tablet weighs only 1.2 kg yet meets military‑grade durability. It operates from –20 °C to 50 °C and tolerates 5‑95 % humidity, making it ideal for ports, manufacturing floors, and refrigerated warehouses. A field‑replaceable front panel lets unskilled staff swap out damaged screens or keyboards on site, cutting repair time and spare‑part costs.

Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac), Ethernet LAN, NFC, and a USB 2.0 port keep you linked to the network, scanners, and printers. The Smart Dock feature mounts the tablet in seconds without fiddling with cables, allowing you to move the device between vehicles as workloads shift.

Benefits

With the VM1A you gain a single, standardized hardware platform across your entire fleet, simplifying IT management and reducing training overhead. The extended security lifecycle and easy‑to‑maintain components lower total cost of ownership while ensuring compliance with corporate security policies.
