New Era Electronics
In order to cope with harsh environments, and with increasing computerization technology becoming available, very often a waterproof computer is necessary to fit an application that an OEM needs to fulfill. This results in the corollary requirement of a fanless system, in addition to any waterproof I/O and/or display that is needed for the application. […]
Embedded computers are prevalent across the industrial sector, which means that many different businesses and organizations use these products. Depending on what a particular industry needs, the embedded system may often find itself in less than optimum conditions. An example use case is water quality research; almost the entirety of the field researchers’ work is […]
Introduction Electronics manufacturing today is increasingly complex. It requires abundant labor forces and high standard production and test verification. Inefficient production processes result in waste of labor, time, materials and machine costs. A consumer electronics manufacturer in Southeast Asia needed to upgrade its production line to collect data from production equipment for data visualization and […]

Industrial automation is the use of control systems like robots and rugged computers to handle different processes and machinery with minimal human assistance. A rugged computer is a PC designed to function under harsh conditions and environments, e.g., extreme temperatures, vibrations, dusty and wet conditions. These two have led to the automation of monitoring, design, […]
A rugged industrial computer is designed to operate reliably and efficiently in harsh conditions and environments. For instance, strong vibrations, dusty or wet conditions, and extreme temperatures. Rugged Embedded Computers are made to withstand rough conditions in their external housing, cooling arrangements, and internal components. All rugged industrial computers have to meet specific requirements to […]
Industrial computers are utilized in many different factories and industrial workforce tasks. One of the main advantages of using them is their ability to operate in the harshest environments with little to no effects on performance or productivity. There are some key reasons why many businesses prefer industrial PCs over standard retail computers and we’ll […]
Last week, we went over the pros and cons of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computers and barebones computers. This week, I am going to go over a Custom Build from Parts computer and a Custom Designed Computer, and the reasons why someone would prefer these systems for their business. Why Do a Custom Computer […]
As an engineer or project manager in charge of crafting a product to bring to market, there are multitudes of considerations to juggle. But in the process of New Product Introduction, and even when revamping an old product to bring it up to date, you are likely to come to one perennial fork in […]
Hard drives may be more common, but solid-state drives are far more superior for business and commercial usage. In addition to providing much more computing power for new computers and web servers, solid-state drives can also improve the performance of existing computers and servers for only a fraction of the amount you would pay if […]
