Industrial Smartphone Distributor in Duque de Caxias
Duque de Caxias is an industrial municipality on Guanabara Bay about 17 km from downtown Rio de Janeiro. The Reduc delayed coking unit started operating in July 2008 after an investment of about one billion dollars, converting heavy feedstock into diesel and naphtha and producing petroleum coke. An industrial smartphone distributor in Duque de Caxias would carry the IS-04Z1 to these buyers once certification completes.

WhereDuque de Caxias
Short answer. Duque de Caxias has no appointed SAMS distributor yet: the IS-04Z1 is pre-launch (certification in progress, no certificate issued, launch planned for Q4 2026), and distributor applications are open.
Where things stand: the IS-04Z1 has not launched, and none of its four certification routes has produced a certificate yet. An operator's own vendor approval is a separate step. Certification status. Place facts reviewed October 2026.

Duque de Caxias: projects and investment
Reduc is listed among the Petrobras refineries receiving modernisation (revamp) projects in the company's refining investment portfolio, alongside Replan and the Presidente Bernardes refinery.
Duque de Caxias: industry on the ground
Reduc sells about 55 different products, the most of any Petrobras refinery, from diesel, jet fuel and asphalt to LPG, paraffins, lubricants, coke and sulphur, so many hazardous product streams are handled on site.
Duque de Caxias: infrastructure
Petrobras has installed a reverse osmosis system supplied by SETA to treat and reuse refinery effluents, an example of the water-management projects that run alongside normal operations.
Duque de Caxias: background
Reduc began operating in 1961 near Rio de Janeiro, one of the early refineries built after Petrobras was created in 1953 with a legal monopoly.
The term · industrial
What “industrial” means for a smartphone
“Industrial” describes a phone built for plant conditions: sealed, drop-resistant and manageable at fleet scale through Android Enterprise. It does not by itself mean the phone may enter a classified area. Only a device with a valid explosion-protection certificate and marking may do that.
The IS-04Z1 is designed to be both an industrial Android phone (IP68, 4,000 mAh battery, 50 MP camera, Android 16 with EMM and MDM support) and an intrinsically safe one. Its explosion-protection certificates are in progress and have not been issued.
In Duque de Caxias. The refinery is in the dense Rio metropolitan area with road links to the city and airport, so contractor fleets arrive easily and MDM enrolment, spares and charging are simple to organise. Charging stays in safe areas. Large shutdown workforces will need a managed fleet, not loose devices.

Questions · Duque de Caxias
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial smartphone in Duque de Caxias today?
Not today. Until the certificates are issued the IS-04Z1 stays out of classified areas, and until launch there is nothing to purchase. You can ask for the datasheet and the certification schedule, or book a safe-area evaluation unit.
What does an industrial smartphone in Duque de Caxias cost?
No price is published. While certification is in progress there is no list price and no committed lead time, and a supplier quoting a firm figure for an uncertified Ex handset is promising something it cannot stand behind. Indicative pre-launch pricing is issued in writing against a stated quantity and site.
Is the IS-04Z1 an industrial phone as well as an Ex phone?
Yes by design: IP68 sealing, a 4,000 mAh battery, a 50 MP camera and Android 16 with EMM and MDM support. The explosion-protection certificates are separate and still in progress.
Which areas at Duque de Caxias would use it?
Likely candidates are refinery process units, tank farms and pipelines, loading and dispatch areas, biofuel (saf and renewable diesel) processing. Which areas are classified, and to what zone, is set by the site operator's own area classification drawings.
How do I become a SAMS distributor for Duque de Caxias?
Apply through the distributor page with your company details and the territory you cover. SAMS reviews applications company by company and has not yet granted a territory for Duque de Caxias.
How should I plan devices for a Rio de Janeiro refinery visit?
Typically choose a device with the right zone, gas group and temperature class, carry its certificate, and confirm local radio approval requirements. Many sites also require induction and an approved-equipment check at the gate, so allow time for that.
What does the refinery's lubricant and gas role mean for hazard types?
Lubricant plants and gas processing mean both flammable liquids and flammable gases can occur, sometimes with hydrocarbon vapours near ambient temperature. Ask the operator for the applicable gas groups; do not assume one device rating covers every unit.
Will the 2026 shutdowns affect when I should order?
Maintenance shutdowns of the coking and hydrotreating units are scheduled in 2026, which brings large contractor numbers into classified areas. Plan lead times early. Certification is in progress, so confirm schedules and requirements with the site operator and its HSE team.
