Industrial Computers and Computing Devices

We all know how important computers are. No office can be without one and even in industry it is rare for processes to still be manually controlled. Computers reduce waste, increase efficiency and boost productivity.

Industrial computers have been around as long as the office PC and are an essential tool in driving down costs. But in industrial areas there are challenges for computer manufacturers as they have to design and build industrial PC's to withstand dust, dirt, liquids and the occasional heavy impact that are commonplace elements in industrial environments.

Designing solid industrial computing solutions is one thing, but you have to keep in mind that industrial computers will have to meet strict standards to be allowed to be put on the market and sold. They would be covered by areas related to safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Industrial computers and computing devices are mainly made for a continuous use, and as a result sometimes a redundant PSU unit is necessary to make sure the computer and what is inside will cope perfectly with being used on a 24/7 basis.
