IT Challenge: Selecting tablets for manufacturing environments

The SearchManufacturingERP.com IT Challenge of the Month for January 2012:

My company is considering purchasing tablet computers for our shop floor employees, to replace older, stationary monitors. What factors should we keep in mind when selecting a tablet? Are there certain brands or models that work better in a manufacturing environment than others? What features should we look for?
