What Is an Industrial PC?
An industrial PC (IPC) is a computer built for continuous operation in factories, labs, kiosks and other demanding sites. It uses a fanless or sealed enclosure, a wide operating temperature range, and industrial-grade I/O. Thinvent industrial PCs use Intel Core i5 processors from the 12th and 13th generations, with 16GB or 32GB of DDR4 memory and 256GB to 1TB of SSD storage.
