TAIPEI, Taiwan — July 9, 2026 — Winmate, a leading provider of rugged computing and industrial mobility solutions, is pleased to announce the release of the TC605-EX, a rugged handheld device purpose-built for professionals operating in hazardous and demanding industrial environments. Designed to deliver mobility, safety, and reliable data capture in the field, the TC605-EX combines a compact form factor with explosion-protected certifications, Android 14.0, and enterprise-ready performance.
The TC605-EX is equipped with a 6-inch 1080 x 2160 panel with projected capacitive (PCAP) touch, 600 nits brightness, and optical bonding for improved sunlight viewability. The compact yet high-resolution display allows field personnel to view inspection records, operating instructions, asset details, and workflow applications clearly in outdoor, industrial, and fast-paced operational environments.
At the core of the TC605-EX is the Qualcomm® QCM4490 Octa-Core processor, running up to 2.4GHz. Paired with Android 14.0, the platform provides the processing power and operating-system support needed for responsive application performance, efficient multitasking, barcode scanning, data collection, digital forms, asset tracking, and communication tasks.
Built for harsh operating conditions, the TC605-EX is rated IP68 waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for environments where exposure to water, dust, dirt, and industrial contaminants is part of daily operations. In addition to sealed protection, the handheld is tested to MIL-STD-810H drop requirements, supporting up to 6 ft / 1.8 m drop resistance for demanding field use.
A key differentiator of the TC605-EX is its support for hazardous-area compliance. The device is certified to ATEX II Ex ic IIC T4 Gc and II 3D Ex ic IIIB T135°C Dc, as well as IECEx Ex ic IIC T4 Gc and Ex ic IIIB T135°C Dc, helping customers meet strict operational safety requirements in potentially explosive atmospheres.
To further improve field productivity, the TC605-EX integrates a 1D/2D barcode reader for fast and accurate identification of materials, assets, packages, and maintenance items. By combining rugged mobility with real-time data capture, the device helps reduce manual errors, streamline workflows, and improve operational visibility.
With the launch of the TC605-EX, Winmate continues to expand its rugged mobility portfolio for industries that require durable, safe, and connected computing solutions. The new handheld is designed to support frontline workers with reliable performance, certified protection, and efficient data capture in mission-critical applications.
