Four selection methods and three misunderstandings of industrial panel PCs

With the rise of the wave of industrial Internet reform, the demand for industrial tablet PCs by enterprises is increasing, and the scale of the industry is also expanding. Currently, there are many Industrial Tablet Pc products on the market, and it can be said that the supply is oversupplied. So, how do we choose an industrial tablet, and what misunderstandings should we avoid during the buying process? Hengstar will give you a detailed introduction below.
One, four selection methods for industrial panel PCs
1. Mechanical parameters, generally refer to the size specifications of the industrial panel computer (including the opening size of the embedded installation), the body material, the appearance color and the installation method. In different working environments, the installation location and space size of the site are different. Before choosing an industrial panel computer, you must first clearly measure the installation conditions at the work site, and fully communicate with the industrial all-in-one computer manufacturer to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to install after receiving the goods.

2. Physical performance, here refers to the dustproof, waterproof, shockproof and heat dissipation performance of the industrial tablet computer. Due to the different working environments, the physical properties of industrial tablet pcs are also different from ordinary commercial PCs. If your industrial site has many dust, water vapor, vibration, radiation and interference factors, and has high requirements for heat dissipation, we recommend that you choose an It is a fanless industrial panel computer with high dust resistance and water resistance, and is designed with a one-piece body structure.
3. Display performance refers to the resolution, color, brightness, backlight life, etc. of the industrial panel computer. These can be considered from the image quality display requirements and the on-site light environment. In indoor environments, resolution and color brightness can meet the basic performance requirements for computing/images. If it is used in an outdoor environment, brightness is a key factor to be considered. Basically, it is necessary to consider more than 500cd/㎡. As for the backlight life, the current mainstream industrial tablet PCs can display industrial-grade LED backlights for about 50,000 hours.
4. Processing performance, the core performance of industrial tablet computers. Actually, it's a selection of kernel modules. Which CPU to use, how much memory to use, how much hard disk storage to configure, what version of the operating system to install, and which I/O interfaces to expand must be based on software or program operations. Environmental requirements to be determined.
Two, misunderstandings in the selection process of industrial tablet computers
1. Blindly pursue high configuration. Regarding industrial panel PCs, the most important thing is that the performance requirements are stable. In many cases, the general option suffices for the job task. Excessive pursuit of high configuration will not only waste resources, but also lead to energy consumption overflow.
2. Only look at imported big names. At present, domestic large and medium-sized industrial tablet computer brands have risen, and the product technology and service level have also made great progress. When choosing an industrial tablet, don't be superstitious about importing big brands. After all, big brands are expensive and the cost will be much higher.
3, only look at the lowest price. This is another extreme case. Many companies opt for industrial tablets and go after cheap, easy-to-buy refurbished products.
The selection logic of industrial tablet PCs should be based on the most original use requirements, such as the application industry, the type of work tasks performed, and the working environment conditions in actual use, and then select from mechanical parameters, physical performance, display performance, processing, etc. Choose a suitable Industrial Panel PC from four aspects of performance.
As an intelligent control terminal for modern production, industrial tablet computers are one of the key factors affecting the success or failure of industrial digital transformation, so you must be careful when choosing industrial tablet computers.
