About Industrial Computers

Industrial computers are intended for use on factory floors or in other harsh environments. Unlike office computers, these systems are designed to withstand shock, vibration, humidity, EMI, RFI, dust, mist, and splash. Industrial computers are available in many configurations with a variety of CPUs, displays, and I/O interfaces.  Configuration or mounting style, processor type, memory, storage, and display are the most important parameters to consider when searching for industrial computers.  Additional specifications that are important to consider include I/O interfaces, expansion, power supply, features, and environmental parameters.
