Accessories for a Freestanding NEMA 4X Enclosure

Stainless Steel, NEMA 4X enclosures (304 or 316 SS with a NEMA 4X rating) are ideal for harsh, industrial environments where corrosive liquids pose a threat to electronic equipment. A NEMA 4X rating ensures that the enclosure is approved for indoor and outdoor use, and will provide protection against corrosion, dust, splashing fluids/liquids and hose […]

NEMA 4X Computer Enclosures in Food Processing

If you have ever watched the popular Food Network TV shows “Food Factory” and “Unwrapped” or Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made,” you were probably amazed at the intricate processes involved in producing food products, like biscuits, cotton candy, chocolate mints, or caramel apples. The ‘best practices’ procedure that goes into making a simple snack or […]

Industrial Keyboards for Enclosures

When working in an industrial environment, computers and keyboards are critical tools on the factory floor. However, not all keyboards can survive in a harsh, wet factory. Depending on the hazards encountered (dust, dirt, grease, corrosive materials, and liquids), an industrial keyboard is a great investment. The most significant aspect for consideration when purchasing a […]

NEMA 4X Computer Enclosure Door Benefits

  During the manufacturing or assembly process, the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries must adhere to strict regulations regarding product safety. Contamination must be avoided at all costs. Industrial plants and factories must ensure that all process machinery and equipment, including heavy-duty computer enclosures, are regularly cleaned (usually a sanitizing washdown) and contaminant-free. The decontaminating washdown […]

Why Manufacturing Facilities Need Industrial Enclosures

Computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics support production tracking, labeling, equipment control, and daily manufacturing tasks. But dust, grease, moisture, and temperature extremes can damage that equipment and interrupt the work it supports. Industrial enclosures for manufacturing help protect sensitive electronics while keeping them accessible on the factory floor. The right solution matches the equipment, […]

Using a Touchscreen with a Computer Enclosure

Using an interactive touchscreen – on a production floor – is quickly becoming the norm in factory environments. A touchscreen can eliminate the need for an industrial keyboard and mouse. For manufacturing users, it creates an efficient source for inputting data or keeping track of inventory. Can a touchscreen be used in a NEMA rated […]

The Importance of Thermal Management Maintenance

When deploying computer, rack, monitor, or printer enclosures in a factory or industrial setting, thermal management (air conditioners, filtered fan systems, heat exchangers, etc.) should be considered to exponentially prolong the life of the chosen electronics. Once thermal management is installed on (or in) the enclosure, it is important to check and maintain the system […]

Creating the Perfect NEMA 4 TITAN Computer Enclosure

The NEMA 4 TITAN computer enclosure by ITSENCLOSURES is ideal for any harsh shop floor, warehouse, factory, or loading dock. Intended for both indoors and outdoors, the computer enclosure is an all-in-one industrial workstation, which will protect a PC, monitor, printer, and electronics from dust, dirt, hose directed fluids, corrosive materials, and most weather conditions (rain, snow, sleet, ice). The […]

Enclosure Filter and Fan System Tips for Computer Enclosures

Computers, monitors, printers, servers, and other electronics generate heat during operation. Inside an industrial computer enclosure, that heat needs to be managed to support reliable performance and reduce the risk of heat-related downtime. A filtered fan system can provide practical cooling when the surrounding air and required enclosure protection allow it. Before selecting a system, […]

How to Configure a Temperature Controlled Rack Enclosure

Servers, network equipment, and other electronics generate heat during operation. In hot, dusty, or demanding industrial environments, protecting that equipment requires both a suitable enclosure and a plan for managing internal temperatures. A temperature controlled rack enclosure combines equipment protection with cooling or heating selected for the application. Configuration starts with understanding what will go […]
