Common Causes of Industrial Computer Failure

Nowadays, PCs are one of the most important requirements in the workplace or industries. Computers can help you to conduct all your tasks more efficiently than human workers and also they are more reliable. But when the machines fail, you need to call expert Industrial pc repair services. The average life of an industrial PC is 3 to 4 years. 


A computer's life can be cut down to a fraction if the machine is expected to work in less than perfect conditions. PC in the industrial industry is a cornerstone of an industry that has led to the emergency of the smart factory. A computer in the commercial area is like a conventional PC design and is created to withstand most of the harsh aspects of the industrial environment. Here are some major causes of the failure of industrial computers. 


1: Dust in commercial areas


Dust is one of the major constituents of commercial areas. In the industrial process, dust is produced from grinding and polishing to simple cleaning. Dust can even clog filters and encase and electric items just like a PC and also over insulate it causing it to overheat. Also, dust includes conductive particles that penetrate an electric item just like an industrial computer resulting in a short circuit. 


2: Low CPU efficiency and overloaded data


When the industrial panel PC processes too many field signals transmitted by PLC, the CPU efficiency of the panel PC is low and the memory is small, which makes it unable to identify and process so many signals at a time resulting in a crash of the industrial panel PC. The main solution is to reduce the frequency of industrial tablet computer processing and identify field signals to avoid signal crashes.


3: Human errors


Sometimes, the people working on the PC are not familiar with the product characteristics of industrial PCs caused by using them the wrong way on the user site. The restrictive touchscreen is widely used in industrial computers but the touch screen is damaged because the users who are used to capacitive screen tone understand the touch mode of the resistive screen.


4: Loose chips


Computers in the business environment are often placed on or underneath a desk without careful consideration. An industrial PC tower placed on a desk could easily be knocked over by machines, tools, or fast-moving workers. Sometimes the chips get scratched, hard drives take platter damage, heat sinks become dislodged and other things may happen. The better idea for a computing solution is the rackmount PC.


Whether you select a rack mount PC or an industrial tablet, make sure to protect your investment and your productivity with the right hardware. Whenever you find any issue with your VFD repair or PC repair only go for a professional.
