Industrial Computers

Industrial computers are planned for use on factory floors in the initially and extend to operate in other harsh environments. Unlike office and personal computers, these systems are designed to withstand shock, vibration, humidity, EMI, RFI, dust, mist, and splash. Industrial computers are available in many configurations with a range of CPUs, displays, and I/O interfaces and have the longevity service support. Configuration or mounting style, processor type, memory, storage, and display are the most important factors to consider when searching for industrial computers. Additional conditions that are important to think about include I/O interfaces, expansion, power supply, features, and environmental parameters.

Wallmount Computers Are Best For Multiple Operators

Single board Industrial computer offers a wide variety of wired and wireless connectivity to meet industrial needs. The various features of industrial sbc assist designers in using economical board for many applications. In simple words an appropriate industrial motherboard sbc or sbc makes suitable system integrator for all industries. Below are some necessary features that make industrial sbc more demandable among various industries.

High Performance

Every Industry seeks for cost efficient solution remarkably at low power consumption. The industrial sbc cost effectiveness along with ultra compact facility makes it an exclusive system integrator for car PCs, entertainment systems or industrial automation systems. Its excellent computing methods and high performance features becomes the ultimate choice for many industries. The compact-size, fanless operation, low power consumption adds value to the work and increase the performance .It act like a highly integrated platform to satisfy various customer's demand.

Compatible with expansion

The industrial sbc or sbc motherboard fits in size between PC/104-Plus and EBX standards as they are fully compatible with the increased technology expansion. Most of the industrial single-board computer are available in different sizes like one can find industrial sbc ranging from 3.6× 3.8 PC/104 bus 486DX to a 5.75× 8.0 EBX depending upon the analog I/O support, networking capability or temperature requirements . Moreover they can also analyze the different space-sensitive and expansion options to enhance their work or entertainment performance.

Meeting high standards

Industrial single-board computers offered by Corvalent are based on the EPIC (Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing) form factor. These EPIC embedded SBC supports advanced processors and complex I/O functions for data acquisition, video processing, telecommunications, networking and other applications. These boards successfully meet the various standards of industries. Moreover, the small industrial-grade embedded computer board with I/O expansion option (I/O circuit protection) for PC, USB, and Ethernet etc solves the quality need of various industrial computing needs.

Bridging technology gaps

The industrial single-board computer has bridge the gap between the traditional methods industrial computing methods. These boards have specific drivers, documentation, cables to simplify the creation of solid state disk and high performance of work. Infact the SBCs are available in different sizes and capabilities with effective integrated video and Ethernet controllers. This sbc motherboard also fit space-sensitive and extended temperature requirements along with the networking operating feature and multiple data storage choices.

Industrial computers

The requirements of an industrial PC are there fore a lot different to that of the needs for an office computer. The needs of an industrial computer will also vary dramatically depending on the industry itself. Computers used in food manufacture may have to be waterproof and intrinsically sealed to prevent explosions in potentially explosive and dusty atmospheres whilst also being made of stainless steel or other easy to clean materialyet computers in heavy industry may have to also protect from dustand dirt but be able to withstand excessive temperatures, knocks and vibrations.

Demands are high for computing in industry.Industrial machines have to cope with many hostile elements whilst alsoproviding reliable computing. Traditionally industrial computers have beenspecific, bespoke machines. These industrial computers tend to run old hardwareand versions of software. Whilst this has the advantage of making the machinesstable and reliable, the out-dated technology may mean the processes controlledby the machine are not done as efficiently. These machines are also very expensiveand have to be replaced periodically as the hardware and software willeventually become obsolete.

Industrial Computers

An industrial computer is just the same as a conventional PC, only they are designed and built to withstand many of the harsh elements of industrial environments. Industrial areas contain many of things that computers and other sensitive electrical items struggle to cope with.

Water is prevalent in many industrial areas particularly those that process food products and water and computers do not mix well together. Water, if it penetrates a computer or other electrical item; will instantly short circuit it and probably render the device inoperable in the future.

For this reason many industrial computers are designed as waterproof computers. They are built intrinsically sealed to prevent any ingress of water and a potential short circuit.

Another major constituent of industrial areas is the prevalence of dust. Dust is generated from all sorts of industrial processes from grinding and polishing to simple cleaning. Dust can clog filters and encase an electrical item like a PC and over-insulate it causing it to overheat. Another aspect of dust is that it can contain many elements including conductive particles. When these dust particles penetrate an electrical item, such as an industrial computer this will also cause a short circuit for this reason Industrial computers are built also as dustproof computers.

Industrial Copmuters - Use in Food Industry

The food industry does pose unique challenges when it comes to automation and computerisation such as the prevalence of water in food production areas. Various laws and good working practices mean that food production areas are regularly washed or hosed-down. This can cause obvious problems to computer or touchscreen if they are used nearby as water will have catastrophic effects on any computer system.

Many food production of manufacturing areas turn to waterproof computer enclosures to protect their computer systems from wash down. Industrial computers designed to international guidelines to ensure they can operate safely in washdown environments with the waterproof PC enclosure even allowing the systems to be hosed down themselves.
