Industrial Computer

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 material yet computers in heavy industry may have to also protect from dust and 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 also providing reliable computing. Traditionally industrial computers have been specific, bespoke machines. These industrial computers tend to run old hardware and versions of software. Whilst this has the advantage of making the machines stable and reliable, the out-dated technology may mean the processes controlled by 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.

Food industry and Industrial Copmuters

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.

Single Board Computer

When we talk of computers, topics usually range from desktops, laptops and notebooks. Sometimes, our ideas and discussions about computers seem to go on forever. However, we seldom hear talk about single board computers. We may not be familiar with the term, though many of us have used single board computer at one time or another.

A single board computer is a complete computer that stands on a single circuit board. It is a circuit board that contains all the components to make a complete computer, such as the processor, memory (RAM), I/O, processor clock and audio and video interfaces. Single board computers may be used as stand-alone units, embedded units or backplane units.

Today, single board computers have found wide use in industrial processes. These small-form factor computers are often used in industrial machines in a rack-mount format that performs complex processes.

Rackmount Servers

Before throwing light on the topic of rack mount servers, one should have a clear idea what it is--a device on a computer, or on a particular network, that is used to manage network resources. Rack mount servers are systems in a modern server used for mounting various kinds and sizes of electronic modules. If someone needs to set or pack a number of personal computers into a much smaller space, rack mount servers are ideal.

Rack mount servers are commonly used across different parts of the world for a number of purposes. These can be found wherever there is an application of computers used for a broader application, starting from the world of video editing suites, computer animations and other three-dimensional works. These rack mounts are also used through the installations of ISPs, in the fields of telecom and other types of communication, and various database houses. These rack mount computer are designed to fit into an open PC or in a closed cabinet. The advantage of using and implementing such a rack mount server is that these things are really useful if someone wants to save space. A rack mount server’s space-saving design enables a user to maximize the space available.

Industrial PC - A Reliable Computing For Industries

Industrial PC is quite different in requirements as compared to office computer. Depending on the industry, the need of industrial computers will also vary vividly. In order to prevent explosions in potentially explosive and dusty atmosphere, computers which are used in food manufacturing may have to be waterproof and intrinsically sealed.

Computers in heavy industry may have to be protected from dust and dirt which are made up of stainless steel or other easy to clean material. These PC’s should be strong enough to withstand excessive temperatures, knocks and vibrations.

As it is seen that there’s a big demand for computing in industry, Industrial PC’s should be designed with proper care and attention. These machines survive with many hostile elements providing reliable computing. By tradition, industrial computers were specific, bespoke machines.

There’s a varied and extreme demand of computing in industry. The Industrial PC’s are capable of running on old hardware and software version. Industrial PC’s are stable and reliable machines that may have made up of out-dated technology but are very much used in industries. Industrial PC’s are able to endure dirt, bangs, grime, gas, dust, knocks, heat and cold whilst having the flexibility of a normal PC.

Features of Industrial Copmuters

Industrial Computers are primarily used for the purposes of data acquisition or/and process control. In some cases, Industrial Computer are often used in a distributed processing network as a front end to some other control computer. It also offers advantages in system costs and development. It is because of the use of PC-based software and hardware.

The features of industrial Computers are widely different from that of consumer PCs. They are generally in terms of compatibility, reliability, long-term supply and expansion options. Besides, industrial PCs are typically manufactured in lower volumes in comparison to office or home PCs. However, industrial PCs cost relatively more than comparable office computers which have similar performance. Backplanes and single-board computers are primarily used in industrial PCs.
