Every company has special production workflows and works according to certain manufacturing procedures to produce its goods. The work steps that have to be performed have to be controlled, which is possible with an industrial terminal. Industrial terminals are vital for the manufacturing of complex products, because the factor ‘time’ is essential for profitability. Therefore, state-of-the-art production processes require state-of-the-art industrial terminals.

Industrial terminals are tailored to the requirements of the respective company; hardware and software standards are used for the construction of the corresponding industrial terminal. Since it is necessary to produce industrial terminals that require little room, all components are assembled in a compact way. At the same time, it is important that industrial terminals are robust and particularly durable – after all, such industrial computers (IPC) are used daily and maybe even around the clock. High-level functionality also must be ensured if there is above-average dust development as well as heat or cold impact in the production environment.

Industrial terminals can even be used directly on production machines that vibrate strongly due to rotations and other mechanical influences. Thus it is necessary to take this into consideration when building an industrial terminal. As the industrial terminal often is subjected to impacts and vibrations, the best solution is to use a flash memory as data storage. It is also possible to use industry-suited hard disks for data storage. Using such a special hard disk for an industrial terminal also provides other big advantages, since access times are very short and energy consumption is reduced.

... up to the requirements

The software and hardware used for industrial terminals basically consists of standard components that are available on the market today. However, these components and programmes are modified in such a way that they are able to meet the requirements of the production environment – of course, it must be ensured that the workflows are executed smoothly. High failure safety is a very important property of the industrial terminal.

Thus extensive specialist knowledge and technical know-how are required for developing industrial terminals that have to meet a large number of requirements. Only then is it possible to convert existing standards into innovative technologies.

Since the hardware of industrial terminals is based on existing standards, it is absolutely no problem to integrate this industrial terminal into the existing IT network.

Our industrial terminals have various sizes from 10 to 19 inches, are available with or without touchscreens and in various versions. It is for you to decide which industrial terminal is best for you. All industrial terminals from our production are designed and developed for use under difficult conditions so they are optimally able to keep all relevant data under control.

All important data can be entered via a touchscreen but virtual keyboards can also be used as an alternative. Of course, it also is possible to use dust and water-protected industrial keyboards. Some of our industrial terminals also have function keys integrated into the front, which can also be beneficial.
