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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area. Surabaya has many plants of varied size, from large operators such as Petrokimia Gresik to the estate's roughly 300 companies, so fleets range widely. MDM or EMM enrolment, contractor rules and safe-area charging should be agreed with each site.
The route · distribution
Distributing the IS-04Z1 in Surabaya
SAMS is appointing authorised distributors ahead of the Q4 2026 launch. No territory has been granted for Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area yet and applications are reviewed company by company. Because a certified Ex device cannot be opened by an ordinary phone workshop without invalidating its certificate, SAMS looks for partners who can provide competent technical support and after-sales service locally.
What SAMS looks for in a partner
- Operator relationships
- Existing supplier registrations or a clear route to them with the main operators and contractors in Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area.
- Ex-competent staff
- People who understand zone classification, markings and the conditions of a certificate.
And equally important
- Local-language support
- Documentation, training and helpdesk in the languages the workforce uses.
- Service capability
- Spares, battery replacement and repair routed through SAMS-approved channels.
Questions · Surabaya
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an industrial smartphone in Surabaya 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 Surabaya cost?
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined 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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area would use it?
Likely candidates are port fuel and chemical handling, fertiliser and chemical plants, cement plant dust areas, industrial estate chemical plants. 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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area?
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 Surabaya and the Gresik industrial area.
Is the climate in Surabaya hard on handheld equipment?
Temperatures are steady, around 23 to 31 degrees, but the wet season from October to May brings heavy rain and humidity, and coastal air adds salt. Devices typically need good ingress protection and cleaning routines for exposed use.
Which industrial areas around Surabaya matter for hazardous-area equipment?
The wider metropolitan area includes Gresik, Sidoarjo and other satellite cities with port-side and industrial plants. Typical hazards include fuel, chemical and bulk handling, so ask each operator for its zone classification and device approval requirements.
Does Gresik count as part of the Surabaya market?
Yes in practice. Gresik lies about 25 kilometres north-west of Surabaya, and its fertiliser and cement works are major buyers of safety equipment. Requirements are set plant by plant. Confirm with each site operator's safety function.
