Factors that should be considered in the customization of embedded PC

With the development of new-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things, industrial control systems have begun to develop in the direction of intelligence, networking, and digitization. Industrial computers are becoming more and more personalized and customized according to market changes and customer needs. Embedded industrial computer is a major development trend in the industrial control industry in recent years. Embedded industrial computer is suitable for application systems that have strict requirements on function, reliability, size, power consumption, etc. This enables consistent and reliable performance in tight workspaces. What factors should be considered in the customization of embedded industrial computer?

Vibration

Because the embedded industrial computer has different applications, such as wall-mounted and vehicle-mounted, the vibration may be strong during use, so special anti-vibration treatment is required for the embedded industrial computer, such as solid-state hard drives, memory and other accessories for reinforced deal with.

Compatibility

Mainly refers to the embedded industrial computer system, supports multiple versions of the operating system, and can meet the needs of all walks of life.

Extensibility

Having a certain expansion space is a necessary condition for an embedded industrial computer. Through the built-in onboard Mini-PCIe, PCIe and many other expansions, it can bring certain scalability and particularity to customers. For example, network cards, GPU graphics cards, etc., because more and more users are used in deep learning, AI, machine vision and other environments, they have high performance requirements for embedded industrial computers, which can meet the requirements of small size, high configuration, multi-expansion, and multi-I/O.

Operating temperature

Another important aspect of embedded industrial computer customization is that the working temperature can be selected from a wide temperature range. The embedded industrial computer has a wide range of applications, and the common 0°C ~ 60°C is difficult to meet the customer's use requirements. With the market demand, the embedded industrial computer is required to be able to work normally for a long time in the environment of -20°C to 80°C.

In summary, there are several factors that need to be considered when customizing an embedded industrial computer. From hardware to software systems, it can basically adapt to different markets and industries. At present, providing customers with customized services and products, and continuously launching customized and specialized products that meet customer needs have become the trend of the development of the industrial computer industry. In fact, the customization and specialization of IPCs have developed along with their expanding application fields. As the application of industrial personal computers becomes more and more extensive, industrial computer manufacturers must consider the usage habits and standards of the industry, and pay more attention to application requirements.
