Industrial computers, also known as industrial control computers and industrial tablet computers, are currently widely used in industrial production. There is a big difference between them and commercial computers. Can they be replaced by each other?
Higole will help make a simple analysis and explanation below.
Let's firstly clarify if the industrial computer can be used as an ordinary computer? The answer is no.
Due to the special environmental requirements of industrial computers, all industrial computers on the market will adopt a sealed design in order to achieve good dust-proof, waterproof and moisture-proof performance.
Compared with the open design of the computer, the conservative industrial computer is like a brick, which is strong and durable, but more rigid. Moreover, in terms of OS and applications, industrial computers do not have enough hardware resources to support additional applications, and usually cannot meet the needs of redundant audio-visual entertainment.
When used as an ordinary computer, it is very boring, not to mention its high price.
An industrial computer can replace an ordinary computer based on the requirements, but the user's experience will be relatively poor. Therefore, it is usually not recommended to use an industrial computer to replace an ordinary computer.
Now the second question, can ordinary computers replace industrial computers? The answer is also no.
Although ordinary computers can meet some needs of industrial tablets, they cannot work in sever environments since they are not waterproof, dustproof, shockproof. Even if it is used in a normal environment, because ordinary computers cannot support long hours of work, the equipment will be down in between. Another reason is that ordinary computers are not as efficient as professional IPCs. If you use top-notch computers to replace IPCs, the cost will be too high.
Therefore, ordinary computers cannot replace industrial computers. Higole’s industrial computers mainly have 7-21 inches of different specifications, which can meet most of the application needs on the market. Multi-function and multi-interface design style, Windows system and Android system are available.
