In high-risk industries like manufacturing, oil & gas, energy & utilities, and construction, frontline workers need technology that can keep up with the demands of their environment. That’s why The Joy Factory is proud to collaborate with Microsoft Designed for Surface – delivering rugged, drop-tested case protection for Surface devices that ensures productivity, security, and durability in the field. These rugged solutions are also optimized for the new generation of Copilot+ PCs [1], enabling AI-powered workflows in the most demanding environments.
Microsoft’s Surface devices are built for performance, offering AI capabilities, long battery life, and enterprise-grade security [2]. The Joy Factory enhances these features with rugged cases that protect devices from drops, dust, and water – ensuring that frontline workers can stay focused on the job, not on their equipment.
Our rugged cases are engineered to complement the Surface experience, enabling full functionality while providing the durability needed in the harshest environments.
Built for Demanding Environments
From factory floors to remote oil fields, Surface devices face extreme conditions. The Joy Factory’s rugged cases are designed to meet these challenges head-on:
- MIL-STD-810H drop protection
- IP-rated water and dust resistance
- Compatibility with Surface Type Cover and accessories
The aXtion Go MP case for the new Surface Pro 12”[1] is a prime example – offering military-grade durability and seamless integration with Microsoft’s ecosystem. It’s the ideal solution for industries that demand both performance and protection.
Industry-Specific Solutions That Deliver
Manufacturing: Line supervisors, quality inspectors, and maintenance engineers.
On the factory floor, devices must withstand constant movement, heavy machinery, and airborne particles. Our rugged cases keep Surface devices protected and securely mounted, enabling workers to use AI-powered tools for real-time decision-making [1].
Oil & Gas: Field engineers, pipeline inspectors, and safety officers.
In remote and hazardous locations, device protection is critical. The Joy Factory’s cases shield Surface devices from drops, dust, and environmental hazards – ensuring reliable access to GPS, data, and communication tools in the field.
Energy & Utilities: Grid technicians, substation operators, and asset managers.
Field technicians rely on rugged devices to monitor equipment and manage assets in extreme conditions. Our cases ensure Surface devices remain operational in all weather, supporting productivity and uptime.
Construction: Site managers, project engineers, and field surveyors.
Construction sites are tough on tech. Our rugged cases protect Surface devices from dust, debris, and drops – allowing workers to access blueprints, document progress, and manage data without interruption.
Security and Sustainability at the Core
Security is a shared priority. Microsoft Surface devices feature advanced protections like the Microsoft Pluton security processor and Secured-Core technology [3]. The Joy Factory’s cases are designed to preserve these capabilities – ensuring that NFC, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals remain unaffected.
We also support Microsoft’s commitment to sustainability by designing long-lasting, reusable solutions that reduce waste and extend device lifecycles.
