Business & Innovation

Getac Technology Corporation engages in proprietary brand products, ensuring product safety according to the safety regulations of the shipping regions, strictly following customer specifications to meet environmental and safety standards in the destination countries. In 2023, all electronic products from Getac have passed international safety standard certifications, complying with safety, wireless radio frequency, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and other regulatory requirements in the shipping countries. These include FCC and UL in the United States, CE in the European Union, UKCA in the United Kingdom, and BSMI in Taiwan. Products are labeled with relevant certification information regarding safety, environmental protection, energy efficiency, and communication requirements as mandated by regional regulations. No penalties were incurred in 2023 for violations related to product and service information labeling regulations.

Additionally Getac Technology produces rugged computers that meet specific safety requirements for industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and petroleum. Some models are voluntarily certified to high safety standards, such as ATEX in Europe and IECEx Zone2/22 internationally, as well as ANSI UL121201 Class I/Division 2 in the United States. These certifications ensure intrinsic safety design to protect employees in hazardous work environments.

Low-Cardon Design

In recent years, frequent energy shortages and rising electricity costs have made the ability to balance computational performance and energy efficiency a key competitive capability for electronic products. Getac Technology Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of rugged computers, produces products widely adopted by government agencies and major international enterprises. The rugged computer solutions sold by Getac not only provide exceptional durability but also feature high-performance battery life. Their energy-efficient designs comply with the latest international energy-saving standards and regulations, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star 8.0, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the California Energy Commission (CEC) energy efficiency standards. These products have been tested and certified by third-party laboratories to ensure low-energy consumption specifications, allowing users to save a significant amount of unnecessary energy loss.

In 2023, Getac Technology Corporation had a total of 14 rugged computers and tablets certified to the U.S. Energy Star 8.0 standard. Sales of laptops and tablets to the U.S. accounted for 30.16% and 15.60% of total revenue, respectively, totaling 45.76%. Given that the same product designs are sold to regions outside the U.S., Getac Technology’s Energy Star 8.0-compliant products account for 79.34% of global sales revenue.

Getac Technology Corporation’s products, certified by the U.S. Energy Star program, have demonstrated superior energy-saving and carbon reduction performance. Actual laboratory tests show that the energy consumption values of these products are consistently below the standard values required by the certification. By multiplying the annual energy savings per model by the number of units sold in 2023, it is estimated that the global sales of Getac’s rugged computers could save the planet 1,658.36 thousand kWh annually. This is equivalent to 821 metric tons of CO2 emissions.This exceptional performance underscores Getac’s commitment to energy-efficient design and its significant impact on reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Reducing Packaging Weight And Recycling Utilization

Getac Technology Corporation have developed packaging recycling plans based on sales models and delivery locations. Addressing challenges with the recycling of outsourced cardboard boxes for export products, Getac has initiated a plan to reduce box sizes (see table on the right), introducing three standard sizes applicable to multiple product models. The new packaging dimensions decrease by 11% to 177% compared to older packaging. With smaller dimensions, the new boxes allow for increased stacking of computers on standard pallets. For instance, after implementing the new packaging for the A140 model, the pallet stacking capacity increased from 40 computers (with the original size box) to 90 computers, significantly enhancing transportation efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
