In challenging environments, durability is key for mobile devices. IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings ensure protection against dust and water, making them indispensable for industries like construction, logistics, and field services. These certifications guarantee reliable performance, even under the toughest conditions, enabling seamless operations.


What Is IP65, IP67, and IP68? 

The Ingress Protection (IP) Code is a classification system that describes the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against external elements such as dust and water. Each IP rating consists of two digits: the first digit represents protection against solid objects, while the second digit denotes resistance to liquids.

 

Comparison between IP65, IP67, and IP68

 

Dustproof Rating

IP6X

Waterproof Rating

IP65

No ingress of dust and full protection against contact.

Resistant to low-pressure water jets from any direction. 
Ideal for dusty environments and rain.

IP67

No ingress of dust and full protection against contact.

Immersion at a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. 
Suitable for temporary submersion in water.

IP68 No ingress of dust and full protection against contact.

Immersion at a depth over 1 meter for up to 1 hour
(defined by Unitech as 1 meter for 60 minutes). 
Ideal for extreme and prolonged exposure to water.



 

Why Is It Essential for Mobile Computers with IP65 and IP67 or IP65 and IP68?

The reliability of mobile computers is crucial for operational success, particularly in environments prone to heavy rain, spills, and accidental submersion. IP65 protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, while pairing it with IP67 or IP68 provides enhanced water resistance, suitable for both moderate and extreme conditions. This dual certification is crucial for environments where devices transition between dusty warehouses and wet outdoor sites, ensuring uninterrupted performance and reliability.

 

What Industries Benefit from IP65 and IP67 or IP65 and IP68?

Mobile computers used in industrial environments face demanding conditions that require exceptional durability and resilience. Industries that benefit from these ratings include:

 

1. Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants

These environments expose devices to dust, moisture, and water. IP-rated protection ensures that mobile computers can withstand these elements without failure.


2. Construction and Logistics

Consider a logistics operation where devices are used in a warehouse for inventory management (IP65 protection) and then transported outdoors during heavy rain for delivery tracking (IP67/IP68 protection). The combined ratings guarantee reliable performance across both scenarios, reducing downtime and ensuring efficiency.

 

 

3. Field Service

Field workers often operate in rugged scenarios, such as agricultural inspections, environmental monitoring, or disaster response. These tasks demand devices that are both dust-tight and water-resistant to maintain productivity and reliability.

 

 

IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings are more than just technical specifications—they are essential when combined to ensure mobile computers remain durable and reliable across diverse environments. This dual certification equips industries to handle challenges seamlessly, boosting efficiency and reducing operational risks.
