Rugged tablet for PEMAC Assets Mobile (Pemac Mobile CMMS)

Pemac CMMS is cloud-based maintenance management software from Eleco Ireland (PMI Software Limited, part of Eleco plc), covering work order management, preventative maintenance, MRO inventory, calibration and compliance. The vendor targets life sciences, chemicals, healthcare, food and beverage, energy and general manufacturing, and names UK sites including Ibstock Brick and the Autolus manufacturing facility in Stevenage. The companion app is listed on Google Play as PEMAC Assets Mobile (4.4), described there as the mobile app for the PEMAC Assets CMMS maintenance server version 4.4, and on the vendor site as Pemac Mobile CMMS. The vendor says Pemac Mobile is a streamlined version of Pemac intended for use by operations personnel to request jobs and to close out work, and that mobile access is offered as part of the standard Pemac software subscription at no additional cost. The Play listing adds that users can record calibration test results, issue and receipt spare parts and enter meter readings on the plant floor.

In practice a technician walks to an asset, taps its NFC tag or scans its barcode or QR code with the device, sees the outstanding jobs for that asset, and logs the work there and then. That means the device spends its day in production areas, washdown zones and plant rooms, often in gloves and sometimes with no Wi-Fi signal. It needs an NFC radio for the tag-tapping workflow, sealing against dust and water, and a battery and screen chosen for shift work under factory lighting rather than for a sofa.

This page sets out what the vendor actually publishes about device requirements for PEMAC Assets Mobile, which Tuga device we recommend for it and why, honest notes on where the fit is unknown, generic setup steps, accessories and the questions buyers usually ask us.

Requirements

What PEMAC Assets Mobile (Pemac Mobile CMMS) needs from a device

Each item below comes from PMI Software Limited t/a Eleco Ireland (Eleco plc)'s own listing or documentation, with the source linked.

  • Android 7.0 or later

    The Google Play listing for PEMAC Assets Mobile (4.4) (package com.pemac.pemacapp44) states the app requires Android 7.0 and up. The description text separately lists supported versions 8, 9, 10 and 11, so the vendor's own statements are not fully consistent; a device on Android 11 or later satisfies both. Source: play.google.com

  • Android or iOS only, no Windows app

    The vendor describes Pemac Mobile as an Android and iOS experience. The iOS version requires iOS 15.6 or later and supports iPhone and iPad. A Microsoft Store search returns no PEMAC products, and the vendor does not publish supported browsers or desktop system requirements. Source: pemac.com

  • Offline functionality

    The vendor states that the Pemac mobile CMMS application includes offline functionality for low- or no-bandwidth use cases and lists off-line functioning as a feature. Which modules work offline and how sync behaves are not published. Source: pemac.com

  • NFC tag reading for asset identification

    The Google Play and App Store descriptions say NFC tagging and barcode scanning are available to identify assets, spare parts and meters, and that users can find current and past jobs by tapping an NFC tag with the device. RFID is mentioned in the work orders feature list, but no UHF RFID reader support is described, so treat this as NFC tag identification unless the vendor confirms otherwise. Source: apps.apple.com

  • Barcode and QR code scanning with the device

    The vendor page lists QR code scanning and the Play listing describes barcode scanning by tapping or scanning with your device. No dedicated scan engine or Bluetooth scanner requirement is published, which implies the device camera is used. Source: play.google.com

  • Tablet or smartphone, no published hardware or screen-size guidance

    The vendor says the app is used from mobile devices like tablets and smart phones and is designed to be accessible from any device. No minimum hardware, screen size, rugged-device, scanner or NFC-reader guidance appears on pemac.com or in the store listings. The only hard requirements are the store minimums. Source: pemac.com

  • App package tied to the CMMS server version

    The current app is named PEMAC Assets Mobile (4.4) and is described as the mobile app for PEMAC Assets CMMS maintenance server version 4.4. A new package appears for each major server release, so check with your Pemac administrator which app version matches your server. Source: play.google.com

Devices

Which Tuga device fits PEMAC Assets Mobile (Pemac Mobile CMMS)

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

PEMAC Assets Mobile is an Android and iOS app, so the Tuga A10 is our primary pick. It runs Android 14, which meets the Play listing's Android 7.0 or later requirement, and it has the NFC radio the app's tag-tapping workflow depends on. The 10.1 inch 1920 x 1200 screen gives room for job details and checklists, the IP68 and MIL-STD-810H ratings suit wet and dusty production areas, and the 4G dual SIM and dual-band Wi-Fi 5 let the app sync once a technician is back in coverage after working offline. Barcode and QR scanning would run through the 13MP rear camera; that depends on the app, and the A10 has no dedicated scan engine.

  • Requires Android 7.0 or later: the Tuga A10 runs Android 14.
  • NFC tag identification of assets, spares and meters: the Tuga A10 has NFC.
  • Barcode and QR scanning with the device: the Tuga A10 has a 13MP rear camera with flash. Scanning through the camera is app-dependent and there is no dedicated scan engine.
  • Offline functionality for low- or no-bandwidth areas: the Tuga A10 has 4G dual SIM and dual-band Wi-Fi 5 for syncing when back in coverage, and 128GB storage plus microSD up to 2TB.
  • Plant floor use in regulated food, pharma and chemical sites: IP68, MIL-STD-810H, tempered glass, operating temperature -20 to 60C, 8000mAh battery, 680g.

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 is the alternative for teams who want a pocketable handheld rather than a tablet. It also runs Android 14 and has NFC, so it meets the same published requirements for PEMAC Assets Mobile. The 6.78 inch screen is smaller, but the device weighs 441g, has glove mode, IP68 and IP69K sealing, a 10600mAh battery with 33W fast charge and 5G for syncing. It suits operations staff who mainly raise requests and tap NFC tags, and roaming technicians who do not want to carry a 10 inch tablet between plant rooms.

  • Requires Android 7.0 or later: the Tuga A6 runs Android 14.
  • NFC tag identification: the Tuga A6 has NFC.
  • Barcode and QR scanning with the device: the Tuga A6 has a 50MP main camera and a 64MP night-vision camera. Scanning through the camera is app-dependent and there is no dedicated scan engine.
  • Offline functionality with later sync: the Tuga A6 has 5G, Wi-Fi 5 and 256GB storage with microSD up to 2TB.
  • Handheld use in gloves and washdown areas: 441g, glove mode, Gorilla Glass 5, IP68 and IP69K, MIL-STD-810H, operating temperature -20 to 60C.

Setting up

Getting PEMAC Assets Mobile (Pemac Mobile CMMS) running

  1. Confirm with your Pemac administrator or Eleco contact which CMMS server version your site runs. The app is published per server version (currently PEMAC Assets Mobile (4.4)), and the vendor says mobile access is offered as part of the standard Pemac software subscription at no additional cost.
  2. On the Tuga A10 or A6, connect to Wi-Fi or insert a SIM, sign in with a Google account and install PEMAC Assets Mobile (4.4) from Google Play (package com.pemac.pemacapp44).
  3. Open the app and sign in with the Pemac user credentials your administrator has set up for the technician.
  4. Ask your Pemac contact how offline functionality behaves for your modules before relying on it in no-signal areas. The vendor states offline functioning is included but does not publish which screens work offline or how sync is handled.
  5. Test the workflow on one asset: tap its NFC tag with the device and, since camera scanning is app-dependent, confirm that scanning its barcode or QR code with the rear camera identifies the asset and shows its outstanding jobs.
  6. Add a charging dock for end-of-shift charging in the workshop, or a vehicle mounting dock for technicians who cover multiple sites, before rolling out to the rest of the team.
Accessories

Worth adding

  • Charging dock, £49.99 (A10): a fixed charging point in the maintenance workshop or control room.
  • Vehicle mounting dock, £109: for site engineers and contractor coordinators who travel between plants.
  • Tempered glass screen protector 2-pack, £14: added protection for screens used in gloves on the plant floor.
  • Belt holster, £22 (A6): keeps the handheld on the technician between NFC taps.

Questions

PEMAC Assets Mobile (Pemac Mobile CMMS) on a Tuga device

The Google Play listing says the app requires Android 7.0 or later, and the Tuga A10 runs Android 14, so it meets that published requirement. The app's NFC tagging feature needs an NFC radio, which the A10 has. We have not tested the app ourselves and Tuga devices are not certified or approved by Eleco; we are stating the vendor's published requirement and the device specification.

The vendor states that the Pemac mobile CMMS application includes offline functionality for low- or no-bandwidth use cases. It does not publish which modules work offline or how sync behaves, so check this with your Pemac contact.

The A6 (£299) has a 6.78 inch screen, weighs 441g, has glove mode, 5G and IP69K sealing, and fits operations staff who mainly raise requests and tap NFC tags. Both run Android 14 and have NFC.
