1. Shock and vibration resistance
The main advantage of an industrial-grade fanless PC is the ability to be deployed in harsh environments where shock, vibration, dust, and debris can be exposed. Fanless embedded computers can withstand frequent shock and vibration because they feature a one-piece design that eliminates connectors, screws and cables, making the system more reliable because there are fewer moving parts to fail.
2. Resists dust and debris
Thanks to the fanless design, fanless computers are resistant to dust and debris. By eliminating fans from embedded computers, embedded PC manufacturers have eliminated dust and debris from entering the system. This is because there are no openings where dust and debris can enter the system.
3. Industrial grade components
Industrial embedded computers are more durable and reliable than regular desktop computers because they are built from industrial components. Additionally, these systems are stress-tested to ensure they can operate in a volatile environment that is not conducive to consumer-grade PCs.
4. Wide temperature design
Embedded computers can handle a variety of temperatures. So whether you're deploying a fanless computing solution in a desert oil field or digital signage in Antarctica, a fanless computer can handle such temperatures while maintaining reliability and operability. Rugged fanless computers are capable of operating in a wide temperature range between -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius, enabling them to survive harsh environments that experience extreme temperatures.
5. Fanless design
Removing fans from industrial embedded PCs greatly improves the reliability and durability of such solutions. This is because failing and failing fans are a major cause of computer failure. Therefore, by completely eliminating them from industrial computing solutions, systems have become more durable and reliable.
In addition, fanless embedded PCs are more reliable and responsive than regular desktop PCs because they are equipped with solid state drives, which have higher data transfer speeds than regular hard drives, and because there are no spinning platters that can fail, Therefore, the reliability of the system is increased.
6. Compact design
Additionally, the compact design of fanless embedded PCs allows them to be deployed in space-constrained environments. This is thanks to the fanless design of fanless embedded computers, which can be built smaller and deployed close to each other because fans do not need to circulate air through the system to cool them.
Industrial fanless computers have a small footprint and can be deployed in small spaces, such as cabinets, small enclosures, under furniture, or mounted on walls or ceilings in tight spaces.
7. Low power consumption
The ultimate benefit of deploying small industrial PCs is the low power consumption of such systems. Small fanless computers consume less energy than regular desktop computers. This is so because fanless PC makers are equipping embedded computing solutions with powerful and energy-efficient processors like the Intel Celeron J1900 which has a TDP of 10 watts and consumes less power and therefore generates less heat , making it ideal for deployment in remote and compact environments where a stable power supply is not always available. While the power consumption of a single small industrial PC is negligible, if you deploy hundreds or thousands of these systems, you will find your power consumption and energy costs significantly reduced.
8. Wide voltage power protection
The fanless embedded PC is designed with a wide input voltage, from 9V to 50V DC, to be compatible with different power input situations. And the fanless embedded computer has overvoltage protection, when the voltage exceeds the safe level, it will cut off the system power to protect the system.
Additionally, fanless computers have power surge protection, which diverts current to ground when the voltage rises above an acceptable level.
Finally, its power protection feature is reverse polarity protection, which protects the system in the event of power supply polarity reversal. Without power polarity protection, the sensitive electronics of the system will be damaged.
