Differences between industrial and commercial PCs
Consumer electronics like PCs, mobile devices, and tablets are some of the most widely used gadgets in today’s world. These powerful devices are used in everything from communication to work-related reasons to leisure activities and more. They are prized because of their versatility and because they are so portable.
Powerful as they may be, these computers are still no match for the needs that industries and businesses require. If you’re in the business of manufacturing or other similar fields, another kind of electronic device is used to fulfil the demands of the business. If you need a powerful computer for industrial purposes, an industrial panel PC or similar type of PC might be required.
What is an industrial PC?
An industrial PC is simply the term for a computer that is suited for industrial use. They are often made with hardier and more durable materials (almost military-grade components) and have higher dependability and precision standards. Due to this, they are often more expensive than consumer electronics, but are more reliable.
Some have more rugged designs like fanless cooling technology and cableless connections that you won’t see in regular PCs. Let’s look at more differences between industrial PCs and commercial PCs.
- Mechanical stability and resistance to wear. Industrial PCs are designed to hold up in even the harshest conditions. It’s designed to withstand high temperatures, dirt, grime, and vibrations.
- Longevity. Overall, an industrial PC is built to last longer than a commercial one, and is built to be reparable with spare parts.
- High-performance. Industrial PCs are more specialised with key features not found in commercial PCs.
