I. What is a Fanless industrial computer

Fanless industrial control computers, also known as embedded industrial control computers or low-power industrial control computers, are a type of industrial control computer (IPC) and are generally used in harsh industrial production environments. It is called a fanless industrial control computer because no fans are installed inside its case. Heat dissipation mainly relies on aluminum blocks or pure copper blocks, reducing the maintenance requirements for the interior of the case.

Ii. Characteristics of Fanless Industrial Computers

Dust-proof, moisture-proof, shock-proof and electromagnetic interference-proof. The outer casing of fanless industrial control computers is mostly made of galvanized sheet or aluminum alloy, which can achieve functions such as dust-proof, moisture-proof, and vibration-proof, and also has the ability to prevent electromagnetic interference and operate at a wide temperature range.

2. Silent, fully sealed and fanless design. The fanless design features a circulating heat dissipation system, allowing the machine to be used in conjunction with various terminals, devices or control cabinets. With diverse functions, due to the closed chassis design, a rich array of interfaces are reserved in advance, enabling the machine to adapt to various industrial production working environments.
3. Small in size and available in various installation methods. Due to its small size, fanless industrial control computers offer a wide range of installation options, including embedded, wall-mounted, rail-mounted and desktop installation, etc.
4. Easy to operate and simple to maintain. Since fanless industrial control computers have no fans or cables, they reduce the maintenance requirements of industrial control computers and can also extend their service life.

Iii. Application of Fanless Industrial Control Computers

Fanless industrial control computers can be applied in warehouse management. For instance, the AGV carts commonly seen in logistics warehouses are equipped with fanless industrial control computers. In terms of empowering machine vision: Fanless industrial control computers can be combined with various automated equipment to achieve online product inspection. The main functions of the vision system include: size measurement, defect detection, color difference detection, pattern recognition, QR code recognition, etc. Deep learning: Generally, fanless industrial control computers equipped with high-performance cpus can empower machines with deep learning, specifically designed for machine intelligent learning. This includes :AI city construction, AI public welfare construction, healthcare, AI retail shopping, artificial intelligence, public transportation, etc. Fanless industrial control computers are also involved in fields such as cloud computing, self-service terminals, industrial automation, rail transit ticket vending machines, communication on-board equipment, networks, and power.

Overall, we believe that the prospects for fanless industrial control computers are still very broad. However, in terms of their structural design, apart from how to better enhance performance, the machine’s shape and appearance, which can increasingly adapt to the ever-changing working environment of industrial production, are also issues that we need to continuously explore and further improve in the future.
