The rugged device is intended for the automobile, pharmaceuticals and the oil & gas industries and runs Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise.

The Panasonic Toughpad FZ-F1 was first announced at Mobile World Congress 2016 and has now hit the Indian market.

The OS Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise offers native support for barcode scanning and instantaneous application access. It also supports multiple user profiles and an advanced lockdown mode.
