How to Choose an Industrial PC​?

Whats is industrial PC?

industrail pc (1)

Industrial PCs (IPCs) are specialized computer systems designed for industrial environments. Compared to consumer-grade computers, industrial PCs offer superior environmental adaptability, long-term operational stability, and flexible expansion interfaces, enabling reliable performance in harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C), humidity, dust, and strong vibrations.

To meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications, IPCs typically feature rugged metal enclosures, wide operating temperature ranges (e.g., -40°C to 85°C), high ingress protection ratings (e.g., IP65 for dust/water resistance), and shock/vibration resistance. They also emphasize extended lifecycle support to ensure long-term availability and maintenance. These systems are widely used in industrial automation, smart manufacturing, energy/transportation, medical equipment, security/surveillance, and IoT edge computing.

Beyond serving as critical bridges between sensors, actuators, control systems, and data platforms, industrial PCs are foundational infrastructure for enabling smart manufacturing and digital transformation.

Main Types of Industrial Computers

Depending on application requirements and installation environments, industrial computers can be categorized into various types. Understanding the features of each type helps in selecting the most suitable product for specific scenarios.

  1. Embedded Industrial PC
    Embedded industrial PCs are compact and typically integrated into equipment or confined spaces. They emphasize high integration, low power consumption, and high reliability, making them ideal for long-term stable operation. Common applications include automation equipment, robotics, medical instruments, and traffic control systems.

  2. Panel PC
    Panel PCs combine a touchscreen with a computer system, facilitating human-machine interaction (HMI). They often feature dustproof, waterproof, shock-resistant, and interference-resistant designs, making them suitable for production line control, information terminals, outdoor equipment, and smart self-service kiosks.

  3. Fanless Industrial PC
    Designed for dusty, humid, and high-vibration environments, fanless industrial PCs utilize passive cooling to minimize failure points and enhance system stability. They are ideal for extreme conditions, such as outdoor surveillance, traffic management systems, and the oil & gas industry.

  4. Rackmount Industrial PC
    Rackmount industrial PCs adopt a standard 19-inch rack design for easy centralized management and maintenance. They are commonly used in data centers, factory control rooms, and industrial monitoring systems where multiple devices need to work in coordination.

  5. Portable Industrial PC
    Portable industrial PCs feature a rugged, compact design with mobility in mind. They are suitable for on-site inspections, emergency command, military applications, and other scenarios requiring rapid deployment.

  6. Edge Industrial PC
    With the rise of IoT and smart manufacturing, edge industrial PCs have emerged to process data locally at the source, reducing latency and improving response times. They are widely used in smart factories, smart cities, and remote monitoring applications.

  • Wireless: Integrated or expandable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular (4G/5G) modules.

  • Special requirements: Support for PoE, industrial Ethernet (e.g., Modbus, PROFINET).

5. Power Supply Specifications

  • Wide voltage input (e.g., 9V–36V DC) improves tolerance to power fluctuations.

  • Safety features: Redundant power, reverse polarity protection, overcurrent/overvoltage protection.

6. Size, Structure & Mounting

  • Select an appropriate form factor (e.g., compact, standard, rack-mounted) based on space constraints.

  • Mounting options: Wall-mount, DIN rail, panel-embedded, or VESA bracket.

  • Enclosure material (aluminum/steel) and IP rating (e.g., IP65) must meet environmental demands.

7. Environmental Durability

  • Operating temperature range: Must comply with extreme cold/heat or thermal shock conditions.

  • Resistance to dust, water, and corrosion.

  • Vibration/shock certifications (e.g., MIL-STD-810G).

8. Software & System Compatibility

  • Supported OS: Windows 10/11 IoT, Linux distros, Android.

  • Customization: BIOS customization, driver packages, and SDKs for integration and development.

9. Certifications & Compliance
