The Joy Factory Partners with Augmentir to Offer Seamless Solutions for The Mobile Connected Workforce

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Global mobile tablet accessory manufacturer The Joy Factory has partnered with smart workforce solutions provider Augmentir™ to deliver the tools needed by today's mobile connected workers to boost productivity, streamline processes, improve work quality, and ensure safety particularly in the fields of Oil & Gas, Energy & Utilities, and Manufacturing.

With decades of expertise in the technology and electronics sectors, The Joy Factory has been consistently providing solid solutions for mobile workers, enabling them to stay active, engaged and feel secure while using their devices even under challenging conditions. Having a range of products that are Hazardous Location (HazLoc) compliant or certified in Class I and Class II, Div. 2 & Class III Div. 1 & Div. 2, Groups A - D, F & G for North America as well as in ATEX Zone 2 Compliance: Ex ic nc IIC, enable workers to focus on their job without worrying about safety and compliance. The Joy Factory also supplies compatible patented MagConnect™ ergonomic mounts that allow mobile users to work comfortably hands-free regardless of their location.

As products become more sophisticated and global competition grows stronger, new opportunities have opened for many industries. Along with these changes, the workforce is transitioning into a digital age as boomers are starting to retire, making way for millennials who aim for collaborative processes that improve efficiency and enable them to manage their work more effectively.

"Instead of getting swallowed up by the digital age, many companies have ridden the wave and adapted to these changes," said Miranda Su, executive vice president. "And one of the keys to this is allowing employee mobility, which is more than just giving mobile devices to your workers. Rather, it's about giving them both protection and access to their work and all the data they need to perform their tasks from any location in the world."

Mobile connected workers have many challenges which is why The Joy Factory and Augmentir™ have teamed up to offer end-to-end solutions for companies who are looking for ways to expand the capabilities of their field workers.

Augmentir™ takes this one step further with their suite of AI-based connected worker tools that blends intelligent skills management and digitized work, giving workers the guidance and support they need, and giving employers data-driven insights, in real-time, into the needs and performance quality of their workforce. This means that the company's decision makers get more clarity on how the work is being done, thus enabling customization of work processes that aim to improve efficiency and productivity.

These insights enable team leaders and managers to provide personalized on-the-job guidance and support, as well as deliver the right information at key moments to help workers perform at their personal best. Augmentir's solution is specifically designed to recognize patterns from data sets generated by frontline workers, then works to extract only the relevant information and bring focus on the real issues that affect the company's bottom line.

Augmentir's AI can be applied in many industries including manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, as well as pharma and life sciences, helping companies streamline their operations and find ways to improve on in terms of safety, quality, operations, maintenance, field service, training, and workforce development.

"The combination of Augmentir and The Joy Factory meets the unique requirements of our industrial clients. Our clients are looking for Augmentir to assist every worker at each phase of their jobs but as no two facilities are set up the same, a lot of thought must go into how digital technologies can be incorporated into their work environments," said Dave Landreth, vice president of customer strategy. "Having a partner who can cater to the specific requirements of our clients in fully leveraging their digital investments is hugely important to us and The Joy Factory has proven to be that partner."

The Joy Factory Launches New Industrial Cases for Surface Go

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Joy Factory, Inc. announced today that it is launching two new rugged cases to expand its aXtion line of tablet cases. These cases are specifically designed for the Surface Go. As a proud Microsoft Designed for Surface Partner, The Joy Factory is committed to designing products that will enhance the user's experience in the most effortless way.

The Joy Factory has once again set the standard by developing durable and reliable technology to protect a business' tablet investment across various regulated industries.

The aXtion Pro MP (CWM409MP) for Surface Go is the first of its kind. This fully enclosed and industrial grade case indisputably protects the tablet in rough and unpredictable environments. The Joy Factory's innovative team designed the CWM409MP, in accordance with the "Designed for Surface" program guidelines and specifications, to be the first fully enclosed waterproof (IP68) case on the market that also meets MIL-STD-810G military durability standards. The built-in heavy-duty screen protector along with port and button covers fully protects the tablet from dust, debris and liquids. This innovative solution can go across all industrial fields from warehouse and construction sites to manufacturing production lines.

Specially designed with The Joy Factory's new proprietary ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, this rugged case keeps the Surface Go at peak performance capabilities at 25 degrees Celsius so that users can get the job done without fear of their device overheating.

This revolutionary case will protect a business' tablet investment while providing unrestricted mobility to any workforce with the built-in aXtion VESA MP Module. The module includes MagConnect technology for quick and easy attachment and removal with any MagConnect mount, a non-slip kickstand to conveniently position the Surface Go anywhere and a built-in rotating adjustable hand strap to hold the device without sacrificing comfort for productivity. The CWM409MP empowers and enables the mobile workforce wherever they go.

"When you are in high traffic areas, there is a possibility for a tablet to endure a lot of bumps, drops, scrapes or even potential damage. This new case for the Surface Go is going to fully protect the tablet all around in the toughest of terrains or hazardous environments," said Miranda Su, Executive Vice President at The Joy Factory.

Users in the healthcare fields can further enhance their tablet experience with the aXtion Pro MPA (CWM408 MPA). In addition to all the protective features of the aXtion Pro MP, this healthcare grade case takes it one innovative step further. The entire case is infused with antimicrobial agent IonPure(R), which helps with the prevention of bacteria and mold growth on the case's surface. For healthcare professionals, the CWM408MPA is the reliable solution to meet most federal cleaning regulations necessary in both healthcare facilities and environments.

The CWM408MPA is the result of combining functional and armored features together to keep the Surface Go protected while moving between patient rooms, nurse stations, doctor's offices and hospital floors. With ThermoDefend(TM) heat dissipating technology, users gain the benefits of peak performance capability all in a fully enclosed certified and IP-rated case.

Like the CWM409MP, the CWM408MPA has a built-in aXtion VESA MP Module with MagConnect technology that allows users to mount the Surface Go with any compatible MagConnect mount for reliable hands-free positioning and display. Safeguard your Surface Go in any work environment with the CWM408MPA without sacrificing superior protective features and easy accessibility.

The CWM409MP will be available Tuesday, June 4, 2019. The CWA408MPA will be available at the end of June.
