Multiple challenges exist when deploying computer equipment in a manufacturing environment. Extreme temperature fluctuations, dust, dirt, grease and splashing fluids are threatening for expensive electronics. Prior to implementing electronics on the plant floor, the system designer has the option of specifying an industrially hardened computer or an aptly sealed industrial computer enclosure to be used with […]
What is the most effective way to determine what NEMA rated computer enclosure is best for a harsh facility? In an industrial environment or machining factory, protecting a PC, printer, monitor, and related peripherals from dangers – like dirt, dust, grease, humidity, liquids and harmful corrosives – is critical. Performing a simple Internet search will […]

How can industrial computer enclosures help a manufacturing plant? Like modern medicine, the idea of proactively taking a role in the “health” of electrical equipment will provide great value to a company. If an illness is approaching, the human body has the ability to provide early warning signs. The same can be said about electronics. While […]
Deploying a NEMA-rated printer enclosure will allow a Zebra barcode printer to be installed in a multitude of areas. At busy warehouses and distribution centers across the country, barcode tracking has been actively used for decades. It is how companies do business in the digital age. However, not every environment is created equal! Less than […]
When installed inside of a server rack enclosure, there are many factors that can affect the performance of electronics. Popular reasons for using thermal management, include: environments that are hot and dirty or electronics that produce a good amount of heat inside of an enclosure. For example, if the temperature outside a rack enclosure will […]
What toll will heat and humidity take on electronics in a sealed computer enclosure? When choosing a computer enclosure, it is always a good rule of thumb to determine the necessary thermal management. An enclosure that has an internal temperature of over 95°F generally calls for a cooling system that is more powerful than a […]
I need to protect my computer tower – what is my best option? As technology progresses, it is more and more vital to have computers on the factory or plant floor. However, if they are not properly protected in a computer enclosure, the shelf life of the computer could be very short. Dirt, dust, and even […]
