Why must we use industrial tablets?

Why do we have to use an industrial tablet? First, let's break it down and look at the advantages of industrial computers.

1. The shell is hard, resistant to falling and collision. It is equipped with solid state hard disk and notebook hard disk, and will not cause errors or crashes due to vibration.

2. The circuit is stable and can adapt to harsher environments.

3. The default configuration of the system is suitable for unattended operation. For example, the default setting is to automatically start the computer when a call comes in, while the default setting for non-industrial computers is to not start the computer when a call comes in. Industrial computers are configured to keep running, while ordinary computers are configured to automatically go to sleep after half an hour of inactivity.

4. Many ports. Industrial computers generally have several serial ports, and some are also equipped with dual network cards, high-power WIFI, GPIO, relays, and switch analog acquisition ports.

5. Low power consumption. Industrial computers do not require complex graphics and digital calculations, so low-power CPUs and core graphics cards can be used.


The advantages of industrial tablet computers are:

1. The chassis and monitor are together, taking up little space and no mouse or keyboard is required.

2. The chassis and display share the same shell, which saves costs, reduces some lines, and makes the site tidier.

3. Most industrial tablets use resistive screens, while ordinary tablets and all-in-ones rarely have resistive screen models. Resistive screens have better anti-interference capabilities than capacitive screens, and are not afraid of moisture or dirt. As for flexibility, the touch screen of an industrial all-in-one is also hard, not as soft as the resistive screen of an early mobile phone. The resistive screen of an industrial tablet is a hard screen, not suitable for painting with a pen or nails, and has a large friction when swiping with a finger, which is not suitable for drag-and-drop operations. However, there is almost no drag-and-drop operation in industrial applications. On the contrary, the large friction can prevent slipping, which was originally a disadvantage, but becomes an advantage on an industrial tablet.


As the performance of commercial computers is getting better and better, many industrial sites have begun to use lower-cost commercial computers. The market for commercial computers has also undergone tremendous changes, and people are beginning to prefer more user-friendly touch tablet computers. Therefore, tablet computers with touch functions will be the trend in the future in industrial sites. Industrial touch tablet computers are also a type of industrial tablet computer. Its advantages are:


1. The front panels of industrial tablet computers are mostly made of industrial materials, and the front panels reach the NEMA IP65 protection level. They are strong, durable, and relatively light.

2. The industrial tablet computer is small in size and very easy to install and maintain.

3. Beautiful appearance and wide application.

4. According to the CPU architecture, it is divided into X86 architecture (not much different from ordinary PCs, mainly XP system) and ARM architecture (mainly Microsoft's embedded system WinCE, of course there are also Android and Linux systems).

5. The industrial tablet computer has an all-in-one structure, with the host, LCD display and touch screen integrated into one, and has better stability.

6. The use of the more popular touch function can simplify work, making it more convenient, faster and more user-friendly.

7. Most industrial tablet computers adopt a fanless design, using large-area fin-shaped aluminum blocks to dissipate heat, with lower power consumption and less noise.
