Industrial computers are constructed for various sectors and used in the fields of logistics, food, safety technology, medical industry and industry in general. Manufacturers of industrial PCs always want to meet the customers' requirements – this is their top priority. The result is a custom-made industrial PC system that ensures a smooth flow of a company's production.

Innovative manufacturing technologies are used for manufacturing industrial PCs. However, using the best basic materials and the excellent performance of the employees also are essential for producing a functional industrial PC. With many years of experience and competent know-how, the respective teams are able to specifically develop devices that are intended for special areas of use.

The advantage is that the industrial PC only uses components that are actually required for the respective area of use. Windows 2000, XP Professional, XP embedded as well as the Thin Client software are suited as operating systems. Due to the perfect interaction of hardware and software, there is efficient data exchange with industrial PCs.

Reliably customised

Up-to-date hardware and software standards are used to convert them into innovative technologies. The benefit here is that replaceable components are available for the industrial PC for a longer period. It is even possible to additionally advance the industrial PC at a low cost.

The operating systems available on the market are excellently suited for industrial PC advancements, since a software solution already is provided and it thus also is possible to access development tools. Furthermore, open-source programmes allow precise modifications, which are required for making the final device – the industrial PC – work reliably.

Optimised – for all demands

This advancement results in clear benefits – energy consumption is reduced and access times are very short. Innovative thinking is absolutely necessary for constructing industrial PCs – particularly when it comes to the need of leaving out mechanical components.

The perfect industrial PC is able to meet certain requirements – namely, reliable protection from environmental impacts. The industrial PC also has to be constructed in such a way that sensitive environments are not disturbed. For instance, measuring devices whose housings and connectors meet the requirement of not emitting electromagnetic energy to the surroundings are a good example. Thus, it is necessary to produce an industrial PC that does not require the classic hard disks or fans.

Small and nice … and high-performance

It always is a great challenge to construct an industrial PC that has to be used in tight spaces. The required components are “packed” in a sensible way – similar as with notebooks; however, it is also necessary to consider all other requirements that have to be met. The industrial PC must have an extremely low failure rate, which is particularly important for the medical sector. Software and hardware faults must not occur in industrial PCs, and fast processing power is indispensable to be able to process data in real time.
