Your search term doesn't map to a specific product line or technical specification, so this page gives you an overview of what Thinvent builds and how to find the right system for your application.
Thinvent manufactures industrial computers, mini PCs, thin clients and all-in-one PCs designed for continuous operation in factories, warehouses, kiosks, clinics and offices. The common thread across the range is thermal engineering: many models use fanless chassis designs that conduct heat away through the aluminium enclosure instead of pulling dusty shop-floor air through a fan. Fewer moving parts means fewer failure points, quieter operation and lower maintenance in environments where airborne dust, lint, flour, metal filings or humidity would shorten the life of a conventional desktop PC.
Internally, the systems are built around Intel® processors, from efficient Celeron® and Intel® N-series chips for thin client and digital signage duties, up to Intel® Core™ i3, i5 and i7 platforms for multi-application industrial control, machine vision, data logging and virtualisation. Memory and storage are configurable, and connectivity typically includes Gigabit Ethernet, multiple HDMI outputs, USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and USB-C, plus serial (DB9/RS-232/RS-485) options on industrial models for talking to PLCs, weighing scales, barcode scanners, CNCs and legacy instrumentation.
| Class | Typical Form Factor | Processor Range | Common Use Cases |

| Operator station | All-in-One | Intel® Core™ i3 / i5 | Shop-floor terminals, medical and lab workstations, point-of-care screens |
When specifying a system, the practical questions are: how many serial ports and network interfaces do you need, does the machine sit in a sealed cabinet or on a vibrating frame, will it run unattended for weeks at a time, and what operating system does your software stack require? Options such as Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT Value, Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS, FreeDOS or no OS at all let you standardise across a fleet. Mounting hardware, wide-input DC power and
