Industrial PCs are designed to work in aggressive and dirty environments, while commercial PCs are not designed to work in such conditions. Therefore, industrial computers have internal components made of alloys that are strong enough to withstand high temperatures, vibrations, and dirt.
High-performance industrial PC
Industrial production involves dust, chemicals, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that can severely damage a consumer PC and compromise its functionality because it is intended for home use. Industrial computers are designed for use in such environments, ensuring high performance even in the presence of dust, dirt, and moisture, as they are completely fanless. In addition, thanks to the extended temperature range, they can withstand temperature changes from -40 ° C to + 85 ° C.
Continuous operation of industrial PC
Computers used in industry must work 24 hours a day. The use of a consumer PC for this purpose leads to significant damage to the device, overheating, possible surges with the risk of downtime, and loss of production data. Industrial computers are designed and tested to ensure round-the-clock operation 7 days a week, even with low power consumption and in the harshest conditions. In addition, industrial equipment is designed to prevent surges and minimize the risk of failure.
Operation of industrial PC with industrial equipment
Industrial equipment has a much longer life cycle and a guarantee of support. Typically, industrial PCs have a lifespan of 3-5 years to 10 years, which means that during this time you do not have to worry about reconfiguring the PC with the correct settings every time the equipment is changed and production will run smoothly.
Fanless cooling system for industrial PC
If you use the PC outdoors or in humid sub-zero temperatures, mechanical parts, such as the fan, may fail, causing internal components to overheat. In addition, cooling fans inevitably suck dust and moisture into the PC, making it completely unusable. However, industrial computers do not have a fan but dissipate heat through their radiator housing.
The size of an industrial PC
Most industrial PCs are extremely compact. This saves space and convenient placement of industrial equipment.
