Industrial Pcs, or IPC, are among the most important aspects of the Industrial Automation sector. In fact, it is up to them to control and command the machineries of the production plant.
In other words, these platforms are the linkbetween users and industrial production itself. The synapse that connects man and machine, turning thoughts into actions.
That is why Industrial Pcs must be particularly versatile and offer high performances: it is necessary for these computers to be compatible with different, and often critical, industrial machines and contexts, where there is no space for errors.
Since there are so many application for Industrial Pcs in Industrial Automation, you can find several categories of these platforms. We have Box Industrial Pcs (Box IPC), generally more resistant and suitable for harsh industrial environments, and Panel Industrial Pcs (Panel IPC), equipped with a display that helps users to interact.
Industrial Pcs: suitable solutions for any industrial environment
One of the strongest advantages of Industrial Pcs is their ability to guarantee users a fast, safe and functional way to interact, due to resistive or capacitive touch screen with IP66 protection on the front glass, which can protect the device from jets of water and other liquids, or from dust and other substances.
Once again, it is clear how these computers were created to give their best within an industrial context and therefore subject to danger of damage or wear. In this way, we can be sure that they work properly even in case of thermal shocks and vibrations.
Thanks to these characteristics, Industrial Pcs allow to manage and control ever-powerful machineries or plants – that need more and more hardware resources – regardless of the circumstances. But also to communicate towards the field with all the other devices using serial, ethernet or free slots.
Esaware Industrial Pcs for Automation
ESA Automation has created a range of flexible and safe IPC solutions, which belongs to the Esaware line, that allow to execute all the application that we have talked about and to answer the needs of today’s industrial sector.
Starting from the Box IPC series, with its strong and compact architecture, ideal to work in harsh conditions, without it compromising the aesthetics of the products. In fact, Esaware’s minimalistic and captivating design is one of the key element of the line: including Industrial Pcs.
What really makes Esaware Box IPC so versatile and resistant, it’s their heat dissipation system, which allows to integrate these fanless products with CPU up to Intel® Core™ i7 quad core.
Industrial Pcs applications for Industrial Automation are perfectly carried out by Esaware Panel Pcs as well. These solutions are equipped with a 16:9 wide screen LED backlit display and capacitive touch screen: perfect to control the machines in the production plant in complete safety.
As you have read, the role of Industrial Pcs in Industrial Automation is fundamental.
Hence, it is important, for the future of Industry, to keep on developing ever flexible, reliable and powerful solutions. Just like those of ESA Automation.
