Computer Enclosure - For Manufacturing unit Information System Fortification.

By: Max Gallagher



This protective cases give dust and fluid defense for pcs, thin clients, small form factor PC's so hence the name PC enclosure and computer enclosure, also in the protective casing a screen and keyboard can be accommodated.
Now this enables practically any company to deploy manufacturing facility information systems on their production line from the hugh conglomerates through to the small manufacturing firms this will in turn grant up to the minute updates on client orders and even how much scrap has been created and by which employee.
These computer enclosures offer a most affordable solution as opposed to industrial computers than by and large need exclusive computer software on them and need set maintenance to be able to call on the guarantee in case of equipent failure, now this is where PC cases have the benefit as they offer all the defense a PC needs from dust and fluid, even in wash down places such as in food processing facilities.
The enclosure vary in specification from IP56 (dust and splash proof) through to IP65 (washdown with high pressure water jets, these are normally manufactured from food quality stainless steel as this is the most important market that needs this type of equipment.
Here are the possibilities are as follows:
A normal keyboard can be used and is placed on a telescopic ledge so it is only used infrequently, however this hostile situation will still impact on the existence of the keyboard, so a cheap device is to use a sealed keyboard with a track ball made into the keyboard and for around $120 supplied with either USB or PS2 connections.
Or for the washdown places an Nema 4x keyboard can be invested in these are produced from stainless steel and also include a trackball but are fully certified to be washed down with high pressure water jets.
IP65 is also equivalent to NEMA 4X and this is a massive market throughout the Britain, Europe and Usa.
How is the equipment cooled?
This does depend upon the purpose, if the unit is to offer dust fortification and at the same time be splash proof a normal thermostatically controlled cooling fan system can be used however if the housing is going into a freezer department in a food production facility they are fitted them with thermostatic heaters, the ultimate choice is for a NEMA 4X Computer enclosure to be cooled by an air con unit or a cheaper alternative is a cooling tube that gives the same control of cool air whilst at the same time reducing expenditure.
