As tablets become more embedded in day-to-day operations, organisations are managing more devices across more users, shifts and locations.
At Strike, we have seen that the challenge is not simply keeping devices protected in the field. Businesses also need a reliable way to make sure tablets are returned, accounted for, charged, and ready for the next person who needs them.
That is the thinking behind the new Strike Volt Lockable Tablet Charging Cabinet range.
Available in 6-Bay and 10-Bay configurations, Strike Volt provides a secure, centralised place to store and charge shared tablets across transport, field services, healthcare, education, mining, government and other enterprise environments.
A tablet can be fully ruggedised, connected and configured for the job, but it still needs to be available and charged when the next user starts work.
In shared device environments, simple problems can quickly become operational ones.
A tablet is left in the wrong location. Another is returned with a flat battery. Charging cables disappear. Devices are stored across different rooms or work areas, making it difficult to know what has been returned and what is still in use.
For organisations managing dozens or hundreds of mobile endpoints, these small issues can add unnecessary friction to the working day.
Our approach with Strike Volt was simple: give every tablet a secure place to return to and make charging part of that return process.
Strike Volt combines secure device storage and charging in one dedicated location.
Each cabinet features a fully lockable transparent front door, helping protect devices from unauthorised access while still allowing supervisors, IT teams or staff to quickly see which tablets have been returned.
Once a device is placed back into the cabinet, pre-wired front-facing USB-C charging makes connecting it simple.
There is no need to search for individual chargers or reorganise cables each time a tablet is returned.
The cabinet arrives pre-wired and ready to use, helping create a consistent process:
Return the tablet. Connect it. Lock the cabinet. Start the next day with charged devices.
Not every enterprise tablet fleet looks the same.
Some organisations use standard tablets such as iPads. Others rely on tablets inside heavy-duty protective cases because the devices are used in warehouses, vehicles, field operations, or other demanding environments.
That is why the Strike Volt Lockable Tablet Charging Cabinet is available in two configurations.
The 10-Bay Lockable Tablet Charging Cabinet is designed for regular-sized tablets, including devices such as the Apple iPad 10th and 11th generation.
Multiple dividers help keep up to 10 tablets separated and organised, providing a practical central charging point for larger shared device pools.
It is well suited to environments such as classrooms, offices, healthcare facilities and shared workspaces where multiple tablets need to be issued and returned throughout the day.
For more rugged deployments, the 6-Bay Lockable Tablet Charging Cabinet provides additional space to accommodate up to six tablets while they remain inside heavy-duty protective cases.
From our experience supporting enterprise mobility deployments, removing a rugged case every time a tablet needs to be stored or charged adds unnecessary handling and defeats part of the purpose of protecting the device in the first place.
The larger bays allow ruggedised tablets to stay protected while charging, making the 6-Bay cabinet particularly relevant to transport, field service, mining, warehousing and other operational environments.
One of the key considerations when developing Strike Volt was reducing unnecessary setup.
Both cabinets feature pre-wired, front-facing USB-C charging cables, giving each device its own charging position.
For fleet managers, this means fewer loose chargers and cables to manage.
For users, it means there is a clear process when returning a tablet at the end of a shift or working day.
For IT and operations teams, it creates a more standardised charging environment across the fleet.
This plug-and-play approach is particularly valuable when devices are shared between multiple employees, because charging becomes part of the normal device return workflow rather than something that relies on each individual user remembering to find a charger.
When businesses think about enterprise mobility reliability, attention often goes to the device itself, the network, protective accessories, or mobile device management.
But operational reliability also depends on what happens between uses.
A tablet that is technically working but cannot be located is unavailable.
A tablet with a flat battery is unavailable.
And a device fleet without a consistent return and charging process creates extra work for the people managing it.
At Strike, we see charging and storage infrastructure as another part of the enterprise mobility environment.
By creating a dedicated location where tablets can be securely returned and charged, organisations can reduce avoidable interruptions and help ensure devices are ready when employees need them.
Enterprise technology has to work within the environment around it.
Strike Volt includes several practical features designed with this in mind.
The vented enclosure supports airflow around tablets and electrical components while devices are charging.
The cabinets can also be installed on a benchtop or mounted to a wall, giving organisations flexibility to position their charging station where devices are actually issued and returned.
For example, that may be a classroom equipment area, a hospital workstation, a warehouse device room or a central location where field teams collect equipment before beginning their shift.
The new Strike Volt Tablet Charging Cabinet range is designed to solve a straightforward but important enterprise mobility problem: keeping shared tablets secure, organised, charged and ready for work.
Choose the 10-Bay tablet cabinet for regular-sized tablet fleets, or the 6-Bay tablet cabinet for rugged tablets that need to remain inside their heavy-duty cases while charging.
Both provide secure, lockable storage, pre-wired USB-C charging, and flexible installation options to help organisations create a more reliable device return and charging process.
