Potential optimization potentials can be quickly identified to increase plant efficiency and productivity. With the Agile X IS, BARTEC is the first vendor to offer a complete system for industry, Zone 2/Div2 and Zone 1/Div1.

The tablet PC has an 8 GB memory and a 128 GB SSD memory, a micro SD card slot that stores up to 32 GB, supports USB 2.0 (also directly in Zone 1) and GPS and NFC functionality. Anyone working with a Windows device enables real-time exchange with servers and cloud services. In addition, due to its screen size the device is suitable as an extension of the office into the system.
The available expansion options and accessories are diverse and range from a HART add-on module, an integrated scanning engine to a carrier system adapted to user requirements and much more. They make this device the ideal companion for mobile field applications.

Note:
Class I, Division 1 classified locations: An area where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids can exist all of the time or some of the time under normal operating conditions. A Class I, Division 1 area encompasses the combination of Zone 0 and Zone 1 areas.
Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2 classified locations: An area where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids are not likely to exist under normal operating conditions. In this area the gas, vapor or liquids would only be present under abnormal conditions (most often leaks under abnormal conditions). As a general guide for Zone 2, unwanted substances should only be present under 10 hours/year or 0–0.1% of the time.
