Understanding Thinvent's Desktop Computer Systems
Thinvent offers a comprehensive range of industrial desktop computer systems designed for reliability, performance, and diverse operational environments. These systems are engineered to serve as robust computing solutions for business and industrial applications, from digital signage and kiosks to complex automation and edge computing tasks. Our portfolio spans from ultra-compact, energy-efficient ARM-based thin clients to powerful Intel Core-powered industrial PCs, ensuring there is a solution tailored for every specific workload requirement.
Key specifications across our systems vary to match performance needs. ARM-based systems like the Micro series prioritize low power consumption and silent operation with onboard RAM and eMMC storage, ideal for lightweight, dedicated tasks. Intel-based systems, from the efficient N-series to high-performance Core i5 and i3 processors, offer greater computational power, expandable memory, and faster SSD storage. Common features across many models include multiple display outputs, robust connectivity options like dual-band WiFi, and support for various operating systems including Windows, Ubuntu Linux, and our proprietary Thinux™ embedded OS.
The use cases for these systems are extensive. ARM-based thin clients are perfect for secure, cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), digital signage players, and simple point-of-sale terminals. Intel N-series and Core i3 systems, such as the Treo and IPC models, excel in industrial automation, IoT gateways, and interactive kiosks. High-performance systems with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, like the Aero and IPC5, are built for demanding applications including machine vision, advanced data analytics at the edge, and CAD workstations in manufacturing environments.
