Industrial PCs for industrial environments

Embedded PCs as an important component of digitalization

The Internet of Things is developing ever more strongly in the industrial environment. Industrial computers support digitization through their potential to process large amounts of information and make it available for the higher-level control of networked machines and systems.

Embedded PCs from Christ are also suitable for use as IIoT gateways and are characterized by their performance and their integrated TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip for high security requirements.

Use of industrial-grade components in box PCs

Reliable parts and components ensure 24/7 continuous operation of the IPCs in industrial productions. After all, a failure not only causes unnecessary delays, but also costs the company hard cash. For this reason, only components suitable for industrial use are used for embedded computers from Christ. Smooth operation is particularly important to us. If something does break, individual components of the IPCs can still be replaced years later; the important keyword in this context is long-term availability.

Office and industrial PC - how robust are they?

Embedded PC systems have to function in a wide variety of environments. They are built to be particularly robust for continuous 24/7 operation. In stark contrast to this are so-called office PCs. These are not only less robust, but also have a shorter service life. The requirements for a PC in the office sector are simply much less demanding.

Why are there price differences?

Personal computers and industrial computers also differ greatly in price. Industrial computers are intricately designed, go through certifications when required, and use high-quality materials, which drives up the price. However, you always have to keep the long term in mind. Components remain compatible over a long period of time, which means software adjustments are also less common.

Demonstrable quality and sustainability

Our high-quality production is verifiable. We regularly have compliance with important ISO standards certified. For example, we meet the ISO 9001 standard for quality management systems, ISO 5001 standard for the establishment of an energy management system, and ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems. This means you can be sure that our quality is consistently high and sustainable.

Robust design enables numerous applications

Whether DIN rail, rack or wall mounting, industrial PCs are suitable for a wide range of applications. For rack mounting, 19 inch industrial computers are installed in racks such as those found in server cabinets. The DIN rail mounting is mostly used in control cabinets. Here the IPCs are simply "clipped" onto top-hat rails. Compact box PCs are often used here, as these optimally meet the requirements of the confined space conditions.
