What is an industrial PC?
An industrial PC (IPC) is a computer built to run continuously in factories, warehouses, labs, kiosks and other demanding sites. It uses a rugged chassis, a 12V DC power input and components chosen for long-term operation. Thinvent industrial PCs use Intel Core processors, DDR4 memory and SSD storage. Buyers choose the processor, memory, storage, networking and operating system to match their application.
