When you search for a "PC computer set," you're likely looking for a complete, ready-to-run computing solution — not just a bare motherboard or a box of loose components. A true computer set brings together the core processing unit, memory, storage, operating system, and power supply in one cohesive package. In the industrial world, this means a system that ships fully assembled, tested, and ready to mount into a machine, kiosk, or control cabinet, so you can deploy it without spending hours sourcing and validating individual parts.
Thinvent's Industrial PC series (such as the IPC3) exemplifies what a complete computer set should include. Each unit is built around an Intel® Core™ i3-1215U processor with 6 cores running up to 4.4 GHz and 10 MB of cache — ample performance for automation control, edge computing, digital signage, and data acquisition. The set typically includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1 TB SSD, giving you snappy multitasking and generous local storage for applications, logs, and media. A 12V 10A external adapter supplies reliable power, and depending on the variant, the set arrives with pre-installed software to suit your environment.
One of the key decisions when configuring a PC computer set is the operating system. Thinvent offers flexibility: Microsoft Windows 11 Professional for enterprise management features, Windows 11 IoT Value for embedded and dedicated devices, DOS for custom legacy builds, and Thinux™ Embedded Linux for open-source deployments. Optional configurations also add Quad DB9 serial ports, which are essential for connecting legacy industrial equipment such as PLCs, barcode scanners, and weigh scales.
| Configuration Option | Processor | Memory | Storage | OS / Serial Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Set | Intel Core i3-1215U (6-core, up to 4.4 GHz) | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD | Windows 11 Pro, IoT Value, DOS, or Linux |
| Serial-Enabled Set | Intel Core i3-1215U (6-core, up to 4.4 GHz) | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD | Adds Quad DB9 Serial, same OS choices |
Because the IPC3 is a fanless, industrial-grade design, it is well suited for factory floors, outdoor kiosks, and 24/7 deployments where dust, vibration, and temperature swings would overwhelm a consumer desktop. Whether you need a Windows-based operator terminal or a Linux-ready edge controller, the complete set arrives as a single validated system — plug in power and peripherals, and it is ready to run.
Thinvent PC Sets Backed by Complete Engineering
Thinvent builds every Industrial PC computer set with the full bill of materials validated in-house: from the Intel processor platform and cooling solution to the power adapter and I/O layout. Because we manufacture our own systems, we can pre-configure OS images, BIOS settings, and expansion options to match your exact application — reducing integration time for OEMs, system integrators
