Wolverine III

GE's Wolverine III is a rugged flat panel computer engineered to deliver the utmost performance, at all times, under any condition. It is designed specifically to withstand the rigors of deployment in harsh, hazardous (HAZLOC) applications such as oil and gas exploration and production where salt, spray, dust, shock, vibration and extremes of temperature provide the most challenging environments for computers.

Innovative

GE’s Wolverine III raises the bar for ATEX Zone 2-rated rugged panel PCs. It weighs less than 23lbs without compromising ruggedization, and operates reliably in temperatures from –40°to +60°C. The modular design is easy to upgrade, and sets a new standard for field serviceability.

Field Serviceable

While designing the Wolverine III, we embraced the ATEX Zone 2 concept of user-serviceability to deliver shorter Mean Time-To-Repair (MTTR) by using a highly modular construction that makes repairs easy and quick to minimize downtime. We also built in extensive onboard system monitoring for early impending failure detection, thus minimizing the potential for operation disruption.

Reliable

GE understands that rugged reliability is a fundamental requirement for PCs deployed in harsh environments. To that end, we used as few components and sub-assemblies as possible, together with extensive edge connection and solid-state disk drive technology to maximize reliability.

Upgradeable

Wolverine leverages GE's unique ruggedized COM Express plus carrier computing architecture to provide latest-generation computing power suitable for harsh environments. The COM Express architecture separates the processor and carrier card to extend the useful life and reduce the total cost of ownership of the subsystem by allowing a cost-effective upgrade of the COM Express module alone.
