What is a Computer on EMI?
A Computer on EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is a purchasing model that allows businesses and individuals to acquire industrial computing hardware by spreading the total cost over fixed monthly payments. This financial arrangement makes advanced technology like Thinvent's mini PCs, thin clients, and industrial computers more accessible, enabling organizations to deploy essential IT infrastructure without significant upfront capital expenditure. It is particularly beneficial for scaling operations, upgrading legacy systems, or implementing new digital signage, kiosk, or edge computing projects with predictable budgeting.
Key Specifications and Use Cases
The sample products listed showcase a range of specifications tailored for different industrial and commercial applications. Entry-level ARM-based systems like the Micro 5 and Micro 6 Pro are ideal for lightweight, dedicated tasks.
-
Micro 5/Micro 6 Pro (ARM-based): With 2-4GB RAM and 16-64GB eMMC storage, these are perfect for digital signage, thin client environments, and basic kiosks where low power consumption and silent operation are critical.
-
Treo & IPC1 (Intel N100): Featuring the efficient Intel N100 processor (4 cores, 3.4 GHz), 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD, these models are suited for more demanding edge computing, light industrial automation, and POS systems.
-
Mid-Range (Intel i3/i5): Systems like the Aero Mini PC or IPC3 with Intel Core i3-1215U (6 cores) or i5-1250P (12 cores) offer robust performance for multi-tasking, running complex HMI applications, and serving as compact workstations or servers for small-scale data processing.
-
High-Performance (Intel i5-1250P & Core 5 120U): The IPC5 and Aero Mini PC with 14th Gen processors, up to 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSDs are engineered for intensive workloads in manufacturing control, AI inference at the edge, and advanced visualization tasks.
