Environment and Industrial Computers

The demands of computers in industry are a lot higher than the demands of a conventional desktop PC. There is extreme and variable need of Industrial computers. These Industrial computer offer complete flexibility that the normal PC fails to give. They offer protection and reliability for a fraction of the cost. They are extremely reliable for most hostile industrial environment and they are forever required for certain tasks.

The environment of the industry is not appropriate for the circumstances that a computer is designed to run. There can be big quantities of dust, dirt, grease and grime. It can be too hot or too cold and there could be many processes and cleaning that requires water, not forgetting the forklift trucks and pallet trucks that could totally destroy a PC if it got clouted. Therefore Industrial PC is the Embedded Systems which are always designed with focused Industrial motherboards.

Specialized solid state industrial computers have in use apart in many industries for a lot of years. These machines are often intrinsically sealed, rugged and tough. They are often designed to be waterproof.

Embedded system industrial PC very well withstands the adverse atmospheric conditions. There are enclosures rated using European IP ratings that give a clear sign to the types of environments the enclosure can operate in, for example IP 65 totally protects dust whilst protecting against strong jets of water.
