Digital wayfinding kiosks are becoming more common in highly populated public locations. Populous locations, such as malls, benefit from this kiosk by directing potential customers to their destinations, answering queries regarding products, and promoting local mall events and sales. Since these kiosks are located in exposed public areas, rugged industrial computers should be utilised for these wayfinding devices. One industrial computing device suitable for these applications is the S22 rugged industrial PC . It is built with a stainless steel body that resists most foreign intrusions which includes dust, water, and even cleaning chemicals. And, its internal components are protected and the occurrence of system errors are significantly reduced. There are also several attributes that these computers have which makes it ideal for wayfinding kiosks.

Wayfinding kiosks are quickly becoming an integral navigation tool for customers unfamiliar with the area. It displays live data on the screen enabling customers to easily access the intended data. For example, tourists arriving in a foreign country utilise these kiosks. By using these kiosks, they can find their way around and the famous locations the area. In fact, some hotels and conference centres use these kiosks for their guests and clients. These not only help their clients find the directions, but these also show them the schedule for meeting and agenda. There are now a number of vendors offering advanced interactive kiosks for wayfinding needs at competitive rates due to the demand. But, how can one determine which qualities meet the demand of an outdoor kiosk? Learn from this blog the features that industrial computers possess which make it ideal for these kiosks.

Tourism is a booming business in many parts of the world. In fact, the United Kingdom is the eight largest international tourism destination ranked by a number of visitors. For the year 2014, the tourism industry has an estimated value of €121.1 billion or 7.1% of the UK’s GDP [ Tourism Alliance UK ]. Because of this, there is a need to serve this growing demand. As one of the most effective ways to delight these tourists, wayfinding kiosks are installed in public places. These kiosks are typically found in airports, malls or universities. Evidently, the population density is high and exposed to the harsh elements. There is a huge possibility that its system will fail due to a lot of reasons. These kiosks will be frequently used by the general public. Thereby, potential elements from these environments may damage its system. Fortunately, industrial computing devices can be installed in these kiosks. An industrial computer comes with a built-in stainless steel enclosure that m...

Standards for computers are extremely vital because they allow users to have a system that can work with a combination of different components without compromising the integrity of operations. In fact, computers have standards for different elements such as software, hardware, programming languages, data formats, operating systems, electrical, interfaces, and communication protocols. Having standards for these features and components facilitates customisation of a machine when using products from different manufacturers. With the use of standards, manufacturers can construct hardware and software to maximize the computing, multimedia, and communication systems of a device. Industrial PC Standards When it comes to an industrial computing system, these standards are a bit different. Besides the traditional operational requirements, an industrial PC has to meet environmental standards as well. It must be capable of functioning in certain temperature ranges. Disc drives have to withstand s...

Computers are sensitive machines and some external elements can cause wear and tear. The exposure that a computer experiences will determine the degree of potential damage that it might encounter. Moisture is one of the environmental aspects that can significantly degrade the integrity of a computing device. Vibrations can also cause components to come loose and damage a machine. In some instances, a computer has to withstand extreme cold or heat, which can lead to certain parts losing their efficiency and functionality. Power surges, blackouts, and interruptions are also causes of common damages to computers. The Wear-Resistance of Industrial PCs An industrial computer is designed to withstand the average wear and tear that ordinary computers experience. The internal and external components of industrial computers are ruggedised to meet the requirements of different industrial settings. Industrial PCs are designed to withstand drops and the shock that results from vibrations. External...

Computers have become necessary tools for conducting business. There is a choice of traditional personal computers, or their industrial alternatives when carrying out various business operations. Personal and industrial PCs essentially have the same components, but industrial computer parts are tougher and fortified.

Various industries over the years have realised the suitability of rugged computers for most of their applications. The manufacturing sector has particularly found great use for industrial PCs. From car assembly to food processing, rugged computers have had significant roles to play. Other industries that make use of industrial PCs include banking, medical, aviation, military, retail, marine, oil, and gas.

Industrial computers are different from common commercial PCs, and the main difference lies in the construction components used. Industrial computers have better quality, last longer (up to 15 years), and are built to a higher standard.

Processor specification is a key question when purchasing an industrial computer ; for some buyers, it is the only question. CPU performance is seen as key in demanding tasks and project roles, yet it can be a complex choice when selecting the right hardware from a plethora of processor generations and names. Here, we review some important considerations.

Industrial PCs may look similar to those we have at home, however, that is where the differences end. An industrial computer is designed to be far more robust than your average home or office PC. Industrial PCs are designed to withstand temperatures up to 45C, dust, shock and vibration, humidity, power spikes, surges, transients and noise.             An industrial PC usually has all components fitted into one standalone unit, unlike your home PC. Components for repair, replacement and upgrade are usually more readily available, even 5-10 years after manufacture, unlike a standard home or office desktop PC.

An industrialcomputer is similar to an ordinary PC for hardware and software components that include items like CPU, motherboard, and RAM. However, the design of an industrial PC means that it can operate in very tough conditions which include dirty environments. Upfront costs to buy this type of computer are higher but become more cost-effective over a period. An industrial PC will work perfectly in hot temperatures, dusty atmospheres and can withstand long periods of use. These are just the type of conditions that would probably wreak havoc with the average PC. If we examine a broad range of industries, which include manufacturing, heavy engineering and processing, the advantages of using a computer that has primarily been designed to operate in less than perfect environments become evident. Ordinary PCs will not be able to take the conditions and will spend a lot of time being repaired or maintained. This will lead to the loss of man-hours, critical communications and maybe the lo...
