Rugged tablet for IFS Ultimo

IFS Ultimo is a cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and CMMS platform used by maintenance, facilities, fleet and HSE teams in manufacturing, food and beverage, chemicals, healthcare, logistics and utilities. The vendor has a UK office in Staines and publishes UK customer cases including London Gatwick Airport, Victrex, National Grid Nemo Link, the Manufacturing Technology Centre and Bristol Port Company. The field app is Ultimo Go+, published by IFS Ultimo B.V. for Android and iOS.

On the floor or on site, technicians use Ultimo Go+ to process activities and inspections, report new activities, look up equipment, inventory, buildings, suppliers and contracts, attach photos from the camera, use GPS, and scan QR codes and barcodes. The vendor states the app keeps working when the device is temporarily disconnected. That means the device is in use in plant rooms, on gantries, in vehicles and outdoors, where a tablet without an ingress rating or a drop rating is at more risk of damage than it would be at a desk.

This page sets out what the vendor publishes about device requirements for Ultimo Go+, which Tuga device fits those requirements, where the Windows option does and does not apply, and how UK business buyers can trial one unit before ordering a fleet.

Requirements

What IFS Ultimo (Ultimo Go+ mobile app) needs from a device

Each item below comes from IFS Ultimo B.V.'s own listing or documentation, with the source linked.

  • Android 8.0 and up for the Ultimo Go+ app

    The Google Play listing for Ultimo Go+ (package com.ultimo.UltimoGoPlus, developer IFS Ultimo B.V.) requires Android 8.0 and up. The Tuga A10 and Tuga A6 run Android 14, which meets this requirement. Source: play.google.com

  • Offline working

    The Play and App Store listings state: "Even if you are temporarily disconnected, you can continue working." and list "Available offline: working without an internet connection" as a feature. The vendor's Ultimo Mobile page states that offline working requires Ultimo Go+ rather than the online-only Ultimo Go. The vendor does not publish how much data is cached or how sync conflicts are handled. Source: play.google.com

  • Camera for QR and barcode scanning and for photos

    The app lists "Scanning (QR code, barcode)" and "Camera integration (linking photos)" as features. No dedicated scan engine or scanner SDK requirement is published, so scanning is done through the device camera. Source: apps.apple.com

  • GPS

    The Play listing lists "GPS integration" as a feature of Ultimo Go+, so a device with a GPS receiver is needed to use it. Source: play.google.com

  • Windows: desktop web client only, no Windows build of Ultimo Go+

    The vendor's Ultimo Mobile page states that Ultimo Go+ is available "via the Apple Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android)". No Windows app or Microsoft Store listing was found. The vendor's CMMS page describes the system as a cloud-based solution running on Microsoft Azure, accessed from desktop and mobile devices, and does not publish a supported-browser list or PC requirements. Source: ultimo.com

  • NFC and RFID: not listed as Ultimo Go+ features

    The current Google Play and App Store descriptions, the App Store release history and the public ultimo.com pages we checked do not list NFC or RFID tag reading among Ultimo Go+ features. We do not claim it works. If tag reading matters to you, confirm it with IFS Ultimo before buying. The NFC on Tuga devices is a hardware fact only. Source: itunes.apple.com

  • No published hardware or screen-size guidance

    IFS Ultimo publishes no recommended devices, hardware requirements or screen-size guidance on its public pages; its Ultimo Mobile page says "Contact us for the required hardware and software" and describes using the app "on your tablet or smartphone". The only published requirements are the store minimums (Android 8.0 and up; iOS/iPadOS 15.0 or later). The cloud page states only that the mobile app "runs with the minimum privileges required on the operating system." Source: ultimo.com

Devices

Which Tuga device fits IFS Ultimo (Ultimo Go+ mobile app)

Picked on the published requirements above and nothing else.

Our pick for Android
Tuga A10 rugged tablet

Tablet / 10.1″ / Android

Tuga A10

Full-size. For drawings you actually need to read.

IP68 MIL-STD-810H 8000mAh Android 14
£449 View
Our pick

Tuga A10 £449

Ultimo Go+ is an Android app with a published minimum of Android 8.0 and up, and the Tuga A10 runs Android 14, so it meets that requirement. The A10 gives technicians a 10.1 inch FHD screen for work orders, inspection checklists and equipment records, a 13MP rear camera with flash for the app's camera-based QR and barcode scanning and photo linking, GPS for the app's GPS integration, and 4G dual SIM for connectivity between sites, with the app's own offline mode covering gaps in coverage. IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings and an operating range of -20 to 60C suit plant rooms, yards and outdoor assets. An industrial asset-management firm has already bought a Tuga A10 for maintenance technicians running a different mobile maintenance app at an aerospace manufacturer.

  • Android 8.0 and up required: the A10 runs Android 14.
  • Camera-based QR and barcode scanning and photo linking: 13MP rear camera with flash, 5MP front camera. There is no dedicated scan engine, so scanning depends on the app's camera support, which the vendor lists.
  • GPS integration: GPS + Galileo + BeiDou receiver.
  • Offline working and site-to-site travel: 4G dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, 8000mAh battery, 128GB storage with microSD up to 2TB.
  • Shift-long use in industrial environments: IP68, MIL-STD-810H, tempered glass, -20 to 60C operating temperature, 680g, hand strap in the box.

Tuga A6 rugged handheld

Handheld / 6.8″ / Android

Tuga A6

The one that lives in your pocket.

IP68 + IP69K MIL-STD-810H 10600mAh Android 14
£299 View
Alternative

Tuga A6 £299

The Tuga A6 also runs Android 14 and therefore meets the Android 8.0 and up requirement for Ultimo Go+. It is the choice where technicians want a pocketable handheld rather than a tablet, where 5G matters, or where the 64MP night-vision camera and 50MP main camera are wanted for photo evidence and label scanning. The 6.78 inch screen is smaller than the A10's 10.1 inch display, so long inspection forms and asset hierarchies involve more scrolling. IP68 plus IP69K and MIL-STD-810H ratings, glove mode and a 10600mAh battery suit wash-down areas and long shifts.

  • Android 8.0 and up required: the A6 runs Android 14.
  • Camera-based QR and barcode scanning and photo linking: 64MP night-vision camera and 50MP main camera.
  • GPS integration: GPS + GLONASS + BeiDou receiver.
  • Offline working with fast reconnection: 5G, Wi-Fi 5, 10600mAh battery with 33W fast charge, 256GB storage with microSD up to 2TB.
  • Handheld use on site: 441g, Gorilla Glass 5, glove mode, IP68 + IP69K, MIL-STD-810H, -20 to 60C.

Our pick for Windows
Tuga W10 rugged tablet

Tablet / 10.1″ / Windows

Tuga W10

The full desktop experience. Anywhere.

IP65 5000mAh Windows 11 Pro
£649 View
Alternative

Tuga W10 £649

The Tuga W10 does not run Ultimo Go+, because the vendor publishes the app for Android and iOS only. It is an option only for the browser-based desktop client, which the vendor says is accessed from desktop devices, for example a planner or supervisor at a workshop bench or in a van who needs the full desktop view, a wired Ethernet connection or an HDMI output to a larger screen. The vendor publishes no supported-browser list, so we can only say that the W10 runs Windows 11 Pro with a full desktop browser. Its IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets but not immersion.

  • Browser-based desktop client: Windows 11 Pro with a full desktop browser on a 10.1 inch 1280 x 800 multi-touch display.
  • Fixed or workshop use: 100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet, HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, pogo pin dock connector.
  • Mobile use between locations: optional 4G LTE and GPS, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, removable 5000mAh battery (run time depends on load).
  • Dust and spray in workshops: IP65 (dust tight, protected against water jets, not rated for immersion).

Setting up

Getting IFS Ultimo (Ultimo Go+ mobile app) running

  1. Confirm with your IFS Ultimo administrator that your edition and user licences cover the technicians who will use Ultimo Go+, and that mobile access is enabled for their accounts.
  2. On the Tuga A10 or A6, sign in to a Google account, open Google Play, search for Ultimo Go+ (publisher IFS Ultimo B.V.) and install it. Android 14 on both devices meets the app's Android 8.0 and up requirement.
  3. Open the app and sign in with the credentials and environment details your administrator provides.
  4. Before the first shift, open the app on Wi-Fi and let it download its data, then test it with Wi-Fi and mobile data switched off to confirm the offline working described by the vendor behaves as you expect for your data volume.
  5. Grant camera and location permissions when the app asks, then test a QR or barcode scan on an existing asset label and a photo attachment on a test activity.
  6. Fit the hand strap (A10, in the box) or tempered glass screen protector, and add a vehicle mounting dock or charging dock where the device will live between jobs.
Accessories

Worth adding

  • Charging dock, £49.99 (A10, W10), so devices return to a known place at shift end and start charged
  • Vehicle mounting dock, £109, for engineers who travel between sites in a van
  • Tempered glass screen protector 2-pack, £14, for screens that get scanned against dirty labels all day
  • Belt holster, £22 (A6), to keep the handheld to hand and both hands free on ladders and gantries

Questions

IFS Ultimo (Ultimo Go+ mobile app) on a Tuga device

The Google Play listing for Ultimo Go+ requires Android 8.0 and up. The Tuga A10 and Tuga A6 both run Android 14, which meets that requirement. IFS Ultimo does not publish a list of recommended or supported devices, so we state the published requirement and the device's operating system, nothing more. We welcome a single trial unit so you can confirm the app on your own Ultimo environment before ordering more.

Yes, according to the vendor. The Play and App Store listings state that if you are temporarily disconnected you can continue working, and list working without an internet connection as a feature. The vendor does not publish how much data is cached or how conflicts are resolved on sync, so test this with your own data before rollout. The A10 has 4G dual SIM and the A6 has 5G for reconnecting between sites.

Only the browser-based desktop client. The vendor publishes Ultimo Go+ for Android and iOS, and no Windows version or Microsoft Store listing was found. The W10 runs Windows 11 Pro with a full desktop browser, has Ethernet and HDMI, and is IP65 rated (not for immersion). IFS Ultimo does not publish a supported-browser list, so check with your administrator.

Yes to both. Business buyers can request a quote and pay by bank transfer on a proforma invoice, and a single trial unit before a fleet order is welcome. Tuga Hardware is not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add to the listed prices. Multi-unit discounts apply automatically: 3% at 2 units, 5% at 3 to 4, 8% at 5 to 9 and 10% at 10 or more. Delivery is free within the UK in 7 to 10 working days, with 30-day returns and a 12-month warranty. We deliver to the UK only.

IFS Ultimo publishes no screen-size guidance, so this is a workflow choice. The A10's 10.1 inch 1920 x 1200 screen suits long inspection forms, asset hierarchies and photo review, and it is the primary pick at £449. The A6 at £299 is a 441g handheld with a 6.78 inch FHD+ screen, 5G, a 10600mAh battery and IP68 plus IP69K, which suits technicians who need a pocketable device, wash-down areas or the 64MP night-vision camera. Both run Android 14 and both have NFC as a hardware feature, though the current Ultimo Go+ store descriptions do not list NFC or RFID among the app's features.

IFS Ultimo and the Ultimo Go+ app are products of IFS Ultimo B.V. Tuga Hardware is an independent hardware seller and is not affiliated with or endorsed by IFS Ultimo B.V.
