Why Thai Oil & Gas Operators Choose HTA3021

  • IECEx + ATEX Zone 1 / Zone 21 certified — usable in PTT, IRPC, GC, TOP and EGAT process areas where contractor specs require Ex-rated mobile equipment.
  • Apple ecosystem in the field — the same iPad mini A17 Pro your inspection and turnaround teams already use for SAP, IBM Maximo, and CMMS workflows can now go into Zone 1 process units.
  • MIL-STD-810H drop + IP68 + chemical resistance — aerospace-grade aluminum body matched to offshore (PTTEP), tank-farm, jetty and marine-loading conditions.
  • Stainless-steel locking IO port + explosion-resistant glass — directly answers operational concerns about loose connectors, accidental cable pull and screen shatter during turnaround.
  • Anti-static leather hand strap + integrated VESA mount — hands-free operation for field engineers, site inspectors, and safety managers.
  • RoHS / REACH compliant — aligns with PTT Group ESG procurement and EU-equivalent compliance reviews increasingly required by Thai O&G majors.
