Industrial PCs for Manufacturing & Automation

Fanless industrial computers for machine control, HMI, quality inspection and predictive maintenance. Built for 24/7 operation in harsh production environments with extended temperature range, vibration resistance and industrial interfaces.

Why Dedicated Industrial PCs for Manufacturing?

Modern production lines depend on reliable computing at the machine level. Standard office PCs fail quickly in environments with dust, vibration and temperature extremes. Purpose-built industrial PCs deliver the ruggedness, industrial I/O and long-term availability that manufacturing demands – from CNC control and SCADA visualization to AI-based quality inspection on the shop floor.

Typical Use Cases in Manufacturing

Machine Control & HMI: Real-time visualization and operator interaction at CNC machines, injection moulding and packaging lines.
Quality Inspection: Camera-based defect detection with GPU-accelerated image processing directly on the production line.
PLC & Fieldbus Integration: Communication via EtherCAT, PROFINET, Modbus or CANbus for seamless automation networking.
Predictive Maintenance: Sensor data collection and edge analytics to detect wear before unplanned downtime occurs.
Production Data Acquisition: OPC-UA gateways that connect legacy machines to MES and ERP systems.

Key Requirements for Manufacturing PCs

Fanless Design: No moving parts – immune to dust, fibres and metal shavings on the shop floor.
Industrial Interfaces: RS-232/485, GPIO, EtherCAT, isolated DI/DO for direct machine connectivity.
Extended Temperature: Reliable operation from -20 °C to +60 °C in non-climate-controlled halls.
Vibration & Shock Resistance: Tested to IEC 60068-2 for installations on or near heavy machinery.
Long-Term Availability: 7+ year product lifecycle to match the lifespan of production equipment.
Compact Form Factor: DIN-rail or booksize mounting for integration into control cabinets.

Our Recommendation

For most manufacturing scenarios we recommend the Nuvo series by Neousys – fanless, feature-rich industrial PCs with extensive I/O options including EtherCAT and GPIO expansion. For GPU-accelerated vision tasks, consider the Nuvo-10108GC with NVIDIA RTX support.

What makes an industrial PC different from a commercial desktop?+

Industrial PCs are designed for 24/7 operation and feature fanless cooling, wide temperature tolerance (-20 to +60 °C), vibration/shock resistance and industrial I/O such as RS-232/485, GPIO and EtherCAT. They also offer product lifecycles of 7+ years.

Can I run Windows and Linux on these systems?+

Yes. All our industrial PCs support Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise and popular Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Debian. Many models also run real-time operating systems for deterministic control tasks.

How do I connect to PLCs and fieldbus networks?+

Our systems offer native support for EtherCAT, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/RTU and CANbus via built-in or expansion interfaces. GbE ports can also be used for OPC-UA communication.

Are fanless PCs powerful enough for vision-based quality inspection?+

Absolutely. Models like the Nuvo-10108GC support NVIDIA RTX GPUs for real-time AI inference while remaining completely fanless. Edge AI platforms with NVIDIA Jetson are also available.

What mounting options are available?+

Depending on the model: DIN-rail clip, wall mount, VESA mount, 19-inch rack tray or book-size bracket. All mounting hardware is included or available as an accessory.

What warranty and support do you offer?+

All systems come with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. We provide technical support, spare parts and optional extended warranties. Pre-configured systems with your OS image are available on request.
