There are 2 ways to computerise a factory floor, the first being to purchase Industrial PC’s. These are extremely robust, however they are very expensive and should there be a hardware issue the entire unit has to be returned to the manufacturer or supplier for rework.

Now Industrial PC enclosures are very cost effective and can be manufactured in various materials, for example 316 stainless steel for food processing areas, Industrial PC’s only come in 304 which is a lower grade of stainless steel. Another advantage is that should there be a hardware problem, the PC can easily and quickly be swapped out from an office and the production line should be back on track.

As we all know, time is money…

As well as the basic 2 advantages above, Industrial dustproof computer enclosures can future proof your investment, due to them being able to accommodate different size equipment for say the next 10 years. SO when a customer decides to change the equipment they still fit.

Industrial computer cabinets are one of the best ways to protect computers on shop floors, as they make the life of the computer last much longer than if it wasn’t protected.
