Advantages of Industrial Computer

Durability

Industrial computers are expected to work in harsh conditions. Whether it is powering an outdoor kiosk contending with wind, heat and cold, or it is on the factory floor having to contend with dust and vibration, an industrial computer is going to have to carry on functioning. As opposed to brittle consumer computer products which are designed to sit on a desk in a climate controlled environment, industrial computers are designed from the beginning with these environmental considerations in mind. Where a consumer pc would overheat, an industrial PC would be populated with extended temp rated components and with a chassis intelligently designed as a heat-sink to "wick" the heat off the internals and into the air. In the face of shock or vibration, where a consumer PC would literally fall apart or at least sustain damage to brittle internal components, an industrial PC would be constructed with a sturdy metal chassis, mounted onto a surface in such a way as to reduce vibration and with internal components mounted such that they receive less shock.

Reliability

Industrial computers are often installed into applications where the operating time is 24/7. This is a great deal more usage than the average consumer application, which is approximately 5-8 hours a day, in an office setting. To make things even more difficult, computers in these applications can sometimes be installed in locations that are hard to access for maintenance, making reliability that much more important.

To address these requirements, industrial computers are constructed with components which are suitable for continuous operation. SSDs or other flash storage are favored over HDDs for instance, because the spinning disk within an HDD is a potential point of failure. For this same reason, industrial computers are built to be fanless. They don't even have a CPU fan! In addition to bringing a lot of unwanted dust inside the computer, fans can be a major point of failure within a computer. If any one fan fails, that can cause the computer to overheat, shut down and potentially damage some of the much more expensive components within the computer. The ideal industrial computer has no moving parts within it.

Power Requirements

While many applications and equipment call for specific voltages such as 9V, 12V or 24V, there is a difference between the nominal voltage and what the machine actually receives. As many power sources are unregulated, a varying voltage can damage the computer which is on the receiving end. To combat this problem, many industrial computers have a wide range voltage input (such as 9~48V) which protects the device, without having to invest in more expensive protection circuitry. In addition to this, industrial computers have access to many other power options, such as POE, Wake on Lan, and even Power on Ignition for in-vehicle applications.

Customization

Because no 2 applications are truly the same, it follows that there isn't one computer that will fit every application. For this reason, many industrial computers are offered to be configurable and modular. Having the ability to choose different I/O and components for the computer system to have right out of the box enables industrial computers to fit a very wide range of requirements. Additionally, if the configuration options offered by on-the-market industrial computers still don't fulfill the requirements, there is the additional option of purchasing a customized or even custom-designed computer, in order to get that perfect fit. Traditional commercial computers have many features designed to meet the needs of general consumers, however, industrial computers can be customized for very specific functions related to Telecom, Kiosk, Medical Imaging, and Broadcast to name a few.

Industrial PCs
An industrial PC is a type of computer that is specially designed for use in industrial environments. Unlike a standard PC, an industrial PC is designed for use in harsh settings. It is usually resistant to dust, vibration, extreme temperatures and other conditions that would damage a standard PC.
An industrial PC will also usually have more robust input/output options, making it well suited to use in industrial automation and quality control systems.
In addition an industrial PC will typically have a longer lifespan than a standard PC, as it is designed to withstand heavy use. An industrial computer can remain operational for seven to ten years, while the average turnover for consumer PCs is around just two years.
In terms of functionality, an industrial PC can differ from a standard PC in a number of ways. For instance, it may have additional ports or expansion slots to accommodate specialised peripherals.
Sometimes an industrial PC can also include integrated security features, such as fingerprint scanners or TPM chips.
In addition, our interfaces are all highly customisable and we can add or remove any I/O depending on what your requirements are.

Panel PCs
Panel PCs are a type of industrial PC that are designed for use in tough settings and are usually used in an industrial environment such as a factory or warehouse. These computers are built to withstand dust, extreme temperatures, and vibration, making them ideal for use in factories, power plants, and other industrial settings.
An industrial panel PC will typically have a large, easy to read display that can be viewed even in direct sunlight.
They also usually have touchscreens that allow operators to interact with the computer without the need for a keyboard or mouse. These can often be resistive touchscreens so that they can be used with gloves.
Industrial panel PCs typically run a specialised operating system that is optimised for industrial use. This makes them ideal for applications such as process control and monitoring, data entry and barcode scanning.
In addition, they usually have rugged enclosures that protect the components from damage, making them tough and durable. If you need an industrial PC that can withstand rough treatment and handle demanding applications, then a panel PC is the perfect choice.

Industrial Tablets
An industrial tablet is a portable panel PC. It comes into its own wherever and whenever you need to have rugged, high-quality computing power in an industrial setting that isn't fixed to a particular location to operate.
These devices are ruggedised to withstand tough working conditions. This means that they can survive drops, bumps, vibrations and extreme temperatures. As a result, they are less likely to break down or require repairs.
They also offer features that are critical for many industrial applications, such as sunlight readable displays, RFID readers and barcode scanners.
These devices are designed for specific applications and can help streamline processes. Industrial computer tablets can be used for a variety of applications, such as inventory management and quality control, order entry or barcode scanning.

As a result, these devices can provide a high level of productivity and efficiency in industrial settings.
Some models even come with built in printers or scanners. This makes them ideal for use in warehouse or manufacturing environments.
When it comes to business efficiency, industrial tablets are hard to beat.

Industrial Display Monitors
An industrial display monitor is a specialised type of computer monitor that is designed for use in industrial settings. These monitors are typically much more rugged and durable than standard consumer grade monitors, and they are often equipped with features that are specifically designed for use in industrial applications.
They are usually made from durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminium, and they often have reinforced glass panels to protect the screen from scratches and other damage.
Industrial display monitors are ideal for situations where you want the advantages of a Panel PC touch screen, i.e. vandal proof, waterproof and hardwearing, but without a PC inside it. This enables it to run off another piece of equipment or PC.
Industrial display monitors are typically used in industrial settings such as factories and warehouses, where they can be exposed to dust, vibration and extreme temperatures.
In addition to their durability, industrial display monitors also offer a number of other features that make them well suited to use in these demanding environments.
For example, many industrial display monitors feature sunlight readable displays that can be easily seen even in direct sunlight, offering wide viewing angles and high brightness levels that make them ideal for use in environments where there is a lot of ambient light.
Another feature many models include is built in touch screens that allow workers to interact with the machine without having to remove their gloves.
These monitors are typically used in factory assembly lines, process control rooms and other harsh environments where standard desktop monitors would not be able to withstand the conditions.
Industrial display monitors are constructed with reinforced housing, heavy duty power supplies and enhanced cooling systems to ensure that they can operate reliably in demanding conditions.

Single Board Computers
A single board computer (SBC for short) is a fully functional computer built on a single circuit board, with all the necessary components to run a basic operating system. These components include a CPU, memory, storage and input/output ports.
Single board computers are used in a wide variety of applications, from industrial control systems, automotive systems and medical devices to embedded systems and beyond. Many SBCs are designed for specific tasks, such as data acquisition or image processing. Others are general-purpose, meaning they can be used for any number of tasks.
While they still tend to be less powerful than their desktop or laptop counterparts, single board computers offer a unique set of advantages that make them ideal for certain tasks.
For example, they are very energy efficient and are often capable of running without a fan, making them ideal for use in embedded systems.
Single board computers also tend to be more modular and easier to repair than traditional PCs. As a result, they are often the preferred choice for applications where reliability is critical.
In addition, SBCs are often compact and energy efficient, making them ideal for use in space constrained environments.
One of the benefits of using an SBC is that it can be customised for specific applications. For example, SBCs can be equipped with special chipsets or memory modules that optimise them for specific tasks.

Application of Industrial Computer

Manufacturing
Rugged Industrial PCs offer the best hardware platform for large scale manufacturing that exceeds the labor limitations of the average human workforce. Machine automation has done for mass production what the internet did for communication. Having had a wobbly start in its infancy, industrial PC systems are now heavily relied upon by many manufacturers, not just for machine vision and robot guidance, but also the ability to collect valuable data from machinery and equipment for preventive maintenance.

Packaging Inspection and Quality Control
Another major application in manufacturing is of course the vision controlled quality assurance that functions at a much higher speed and with greater accuracy than is possible by humans. Using machine vision and packaging inspection systems manufacturers as well as food packaging plants automate quality assurance of their products at a great speed. 3D machine vision is the latest advancement in the Vision industry. Its commercialization has become reality thanks to the powerful multi-core CPU´s that can handle computation of an extra Z dimension at a super fast speed, providing deeper multidimensional data on the object making 100% quality assurance possible. This has taken the quality control to a next level where the pass/fail decision of the system can depend on many more parameters such as proportion, shape, surface, size, etc.

Asset Tracking
Manufacturing isn't the only industry that has begun to rely heavily upon industrial PCs. Retail and healthcare sectors have also implemented industrial PC hardware into their everyday operations due to their ability to track and monitor assets and processes for inconsistencies and anomalies. This can be done both on-site and remotely and provides systems operators with a way of tracking assets or processes in a much more precise and efficient manner than would normally be possible with a human workforce.

Simulation and Control
Industrial PC platforms use powerful processors in order to emulate and create simulations of potential real-world scenarios. This enables enhanced insights for analyzing risks, predicting further possibilities and testing systems within any framework. Being able to do these kinds of tests and analysis allows further enhancement and development of existing infrastructure based on insights gathered from simulations and predictions. With much buzz around artificial intelligence and machine learning, advancements in the near future could see these three technologies woven together in order to create even more advanced simulations.

Remote Data Collection
In the age of automation and the Internet of Things, data is one of the most valuable commodities around. The ability of remote IoT sensors to send and receive data about the use of remote machinery, tools, hardware and other connected devices allows operators that deploy them to receive actionable data about operational processes, equipment fatigue, and overall performance. This data allows control systems to know when to regulate power to equipment, trigger actuators, adjust temperature or pressure controls and other operational functions in an extremely precise manner.

IoT and PC based Automation
The applications mentioned above are but a few of the ways industrial PCs are being used to further enhance and improve upon existing industrial automation technologies. From PLCs to PACs and now industrial PCs, what the future has in store can only be guessed. However, if the costs of computation and communication technologies keep dropping at the same speed as the new innovations are coming, we certainly are looking at the full potential of IoT realized in forecasted timeframes resulting in unprecedented efficiency in production and higher consumer satisfaction.
PC is at the heart of open standards based internet of things revolution especially at that of the Industrial internet of things which will become the brain controlling the infrastructures that communities and economies will rely on in their daily lives. Legacy operational technology systems and instruments will need to be protected with more intelligent computers until they are replaced with cutting edge secure technology. IoT communication gateways will not only require superior ruggedness in their built and components but also robust cyber security embedded into the software managing communication between the things.

How to Choose the Best Industrial Computer

Processor
If you are working to replace or upgrade an existing computer, the process becomes fairly easy. Find out what processor you have now, and how it is handling the workload. Most operating systems will allow you to view details about your computer through the settings menu. Your system monitor will show you how your current CPU is handling the task. Then plug in your model number into a benchmarking site.
For customers who were running programs that were easily handled by the older hardware, they should think about going with a lower tier modern processor to help save cost and reduce unnecessary overhead.

RAM
Start by looking at what you have now, and how it performs. That is your best bet to find the optimal configuration. If you are going in without an existing solution we also use the same method to help set up a prototype. Check the hardware requirements set by your software company and when in doubt, look to slightly over spec the prototype.
The other things to consider are memory speed and single channel vs dual-channel. Unless you have specific requirements, in the world of embedded computing, this rarely makes much of a difference. And most customers will make their decision based on availability and cost.

Storage
There are many different types of storage, and each has their place. In industrial and rugged computers, solid state is almost always the most reliable. For most applications, there is little difference in the real world performance between any modern SSD available on our website. If you have large capacity bulk storage needs, a HDD may be a prudent choice to keep costs down when shock, vibe and overly high temperatures are not a concern. For more specific applications, high speed NVMe or surveillance specific drives may be required. However, these situations are less common.
If you are installing Windows 10, our recommended minimum storage capacity is 64GB. Microsoftlists the minimum storage requirements to host the OS as 20GB. However, in practice, updates and regular use cause the actual storage footprint to be greater. With advanced settings, we have a number of customers who are able to use 32GB, but for most customers, going with at least 64GB is a better choice.

I/O
To identify your I/O requirements, start with creating an inventory of all of the devices that you need to connect to your PC. Make a list of the different types of connections you will need. In the industrial space, our computers often control and collect data from legacy systems. Understanding the protocols in use and the existing infrastructure is essential in order to choose the hardware option that can be integrated most effectively.
For this step it is usually helpful to draw out an architecture map to help visualize your project. Once you create a rough draft of your architecture map, reach out to us and we can help you fill it in with the optimal hardware configurations for each layer.

Network Connection
Most of our systems can be configured with WiFi/BlueTooth or 4G. And, configuring the system to run both simultaneously is also an option. Industry 4.0 solutions demand wireless communication because of their constant need to be connected. Furthermore, with hardware being deployed in ever more remote locations, having a wireless 4G solution delivers many benefits.

Power
Clean power should be your number one goal when engineering an environment to maximize the reliability of your PC. There are a number of ways to do it. You can provide AC power and utilize one of our standard power adapters. Another option is to wire in a direct industrial DC power source. Once you know what type of power you are working with, you will want to consult the Technical Specs Table found on each product page to find a solution to match. It is sometimes far easier to choose an industrial PC that can plug right into your 24VDC DIN rail power supply rather than stepping down to 12VDC. In-vehicle computers represent a unique situation where the incoming power may fluctuate due to the changes in charge inherent when drawing from a vehicle's battery. For these applications it is always recommended to use one of the PCs from our rugged line. Specifically one that supports ignition sensing. That way it will fire up when you turn on the car and safely shut itself down once the vehicle is turned off.

Form Factor
While there are standard sizes such as Mini-ITX, NUC, Pico-ITX, 1U half depth, 4U full depth, etc., the world of industrial and rugged PCs utilize many custom board and layout designs. Before you plan your cabinet layout, or embed one of our products into your solution, it is important to consult the technical specs for the particular system. The technical specs list out the exact physical dimensions of the system along with other important information. You can find the technical spec tables at the bottom of all of our product pages.
If your goal is to futureproof your design, and you think you may need to scale up your computing power in the future, it would be important to leave yourself some wiggle room in your design to accommodate a potentially larger system. As a general rule, more powerful processors generate more heat, and more heat means that we need to design a larger heatsink which can sometimes mean a larger chassis.
In addition to contemplating the dimensions of the unit itself, it is also important to think about the different ports you will use and whether your design will provide adequate access. It would be very frustrating to install your new PC and then realize that you didn't provide enough room to connect your chunky DB9 connector. This discussion on form factor segues perfectly into our next step.

Lifecycle Vs Reliability
Customers will often mix up expected product lifecycle and meantime between failure or reliability. Lifecycle actually has very little to do with how long a system will perform in the field. Instead, the lifecycle of a product describes the length of time that the product will be manufactured and available for sale. This product feature is most important for customers that are very sensitive to revisions. This is not the most important product feature for a customer that just needs a reliable PC and doesn't care if they have to choose something slightly different the next time they purchase a computer.
