We hear lots of negative news story’s about the Automotive Industry, however at Computer Security & Solutions, we have won a project to supply 27 Industrial PC enclosures to an automotive manufacturing supplier who supplies high profile car manufacturers Spyker.

Spyker are a prestigious performance car with fantastic looks, the also command a high price tag due to the quality and performance.

The UK manufacturer and supplier to Spyker were looking to invest £32,000 in computer hardware in extremely volatile areas of the factory floor, the decided to purchase the 15+ model, as it allowed for future changes without having to purchase additional enclosures in the future when they upgraded the hardware in 5 years.

The 15+ unit protects from dust, dirt and fluid splashes to IP56, the unit will accommodate a standard PC base unit, with a monitor up to 19″ TFT or 17″ CRT, the keyboard and mouse are positioned in the roll out shelf below and the unit was cooled with a specialised filtered fan unit.

The total project had a budget of £105,000 and the company had confidence in that the return on investment would almost be immediate.  We delivered the stands so the cabling guys could cable up to them once sited, with the enclosures being delivered to site for bolting to the stands and being fitted with the computer hardware.

The company has a green policy and Computer Security & Solutions fitted well, with their recycling of old enclosures as a valued added service.

It just goes to show that investment in the automotive sector isn’t dead.
