Deploying Specialist Computers into Automation Applications

From food processing and component inspection through to 3D printing and steel production, we have been deploying specialist computers into automation applications for decades. We know the automation sector depends on reliable, long-life hardware – so we engineer and test for resilience to environmental extremes prominent in factory settings like cleaning chemicals, high water pressure, heat, and dust.

Our off-the-shelf automation computers can be customized and include general purpose platforms across a range of form factors. Features include extensive expansion capabilities for the accommodation of I/O and interface cards, graphics cards, extra memory, and increased storage capacity. We configure our computers to the precise requirements of automation applications and also offer a complete rack integration service for more complex deployments.

To name just a few, we have developed HMI computers for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production, HMI computers for heavy industry environments, automation computers for SCADA applications, image processing computers, and machine vision units for customers operating at the heart of the automation sector.
