Tablet Honeywell VM1A Qualcomm Snapdragon 32 GB 8 inch Black

The Honeywell Thor VM1A is an Android-based rugged vehicle-mounted tablet built on the Mobility Edge platform. It combines features from the Thor VM1 and CV41 models with Honeywell Mobility Edge advantages to simplify provisioning, improve performance, extend lifecycle and reduce total cost of ownership. The VM1A is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, includes 4 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage, and has an 8-inch 1280 x 768 touchscreen readable indoors and outdoors. The device supports Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac), offers an integrated keyboard, optional screen defroster for cold storage, and upgradable Android from O toward R with extended security updates via Honeywell Sentinel.

Advantages

The Thor VM1A delivers extended security support and simplified device management through the Mobility Edge platform, enabling consistent hardware and software across deployments. Field-replaceable front panels reduce maintenance time and spare-parts costs by allowing on-site replacement of the most wear-prone components. The Smart Dock enables fast mounting and removal without touching cabling so devices can be reallocated between vehicles quickly. Ignition control and adjustable power management settings help preserve vehicle battery life and reduce startup delays.

Suitable for

• Forklift and vehicle-mounted workflows in warehouses and manufacturing
• Cold storage and freezer environments (with optional defroster)
• Distribution centers and ports requiring rugged, mountable tablets
• Enterprises needing scalable provisioning and extended security updates

How to use

Install the Thor VM1A in the vehicle using the Smart Dock to secure the tablet without handling cables. Configure device settings and enterprise provisioning via Mobility Edge tools to deploy applications and security policies across units.

Use ignition control settings to manage power behavior and protect vehicle batteries during shift operations.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, apply Honeywell Sentinel security updates when available, keep the device docked during vehicle operation, and use the optional defroster in cold-storage applications. Maintain a small inventory of spare front panels to reduce repair time and lower total cost of ownership.
