Rugged Industrial Computers for Demanding Applications
An industrial computer is a fanless or sealed computer built to run continuously in factories, plants, labs and field sites. It differs from an office PC in its chassis, power input, and component choice. Thinvent industrial PCs use 12V DC power input, support a wide operating temperature range, and run industrial-grade operating systems such as Windows 11 IoT Value and Ubuntu Linux.
