Why industrial PC is expensive?

Firstly,hardware material selection and design requirements are high.

Adaptation to harsh environments:Industrial environment is hard,which has high temperature, low temperature and so on.pc fanless hardware must withstand extreme environment.Electron component must withstand high and low temperature. And its shell is strong and sealed.Special materials’ cost is high that makes the overall hardware cost increase.Ordinary computer can not adapt to the environment of industrial in need.

Strong anti-interference capability:small industrial pc need strong anti interference capability to ensure data accuracy and system stability.The hardware design use shielding, filtering and other technologies, which increase the design difficulty and manufacturing cost.

High reliability and long life:industrial production is continuous,Industrial Computer failure may production process interruption and huge losses.Therefore,its hardware is high reliability and long life.

Secondly,high degree of software and system customization. Professional software:Industrial computer need operate professional procedure.Development adaptation consumes manpower and material resources.

High requirements of system stability:The operating system of industrial computer need special optimize to ensure long time without failure.

Thirdly,large investment and in R&D and production.The development cycle is long.The team need learn about industrial scene and design optimization and a lot of debugging is costly.Complex production process,strict quality control,more customization and reduce cost.

Finally,market demand and supply characteristics.The requirement of industrial computer is small. It is difficult to produce on a large scale to reduce cost.Because complex use environment of industrial computer and customs have high requirements for after-sales service.That undoubtedly increases the operating cost of the supplier.
