Preserving Your Pc – Alternatives to Rugged and Industrial Computers
Â
Computers are almost miraculous. The number of tasks a PC can handle better and more efficiently than a human is seemingly endless.
However, humans have the advantage when it comes to reliability in operating in industrial environments. Industry is full of potential hazards to a computer:
Dust, can clog filters, short circuit electronics, and clog up spinning hard drives and even explode. Grease can infiltrate a computer whilst water and electronics obviously don’t mix, whilst a side-swipe from a forklift or continual banging from a machine will jolt the life out of the hardiest of PCs.
Extremes in temperature can cause overheating and a burnout or even extreme cold which can freeze condensation inside a machine which can expand and damage the electronics. Many of these hazards of industry can be fatal for a computer.
We ensure all our employees are protected with high-visibility jackets, hard hats and toe protection yet we fail to protect our computers when they are probably doing the job of three human employees.
Specialist industrial computers have been traditionally used but these are highly expensive and because they are specially made units that are intrinsically sealed they often contain outdated hardware and software. Also with the exponential rate computers advance, the industrial PCs soon become out of date and need replacing as they can be impossible to upgrade.
However, a low cost alternative has been around for a few years now in the shape of industrial computer enclosures. These PC enclosures shield a conventional computer, printer and monitor in a sealed unit, protecting the PC from all the hazards of the industrial environment.
An industrial PC enclosure is made from all sorts of materials including food-grade stainless steel and can house a conventional PC protecting it from dust and fluids, heat and cold (often industrial enclosures have air conditioners or heaters installed to control temperature) and can withstand dramatic impacts (some even claim to be able to withstand a bomb blast).
These industrial PC enclosuresallow a conventional PC to be repaired or replaced whilst still keeping the same enclosure, allowing operators the opportunity to keep abreast of the latest upgrades. Many industrial computer enclosures can also operate safely even in explosive atmospheres as the circuitry is housed inside, preventing any dangerous sparking. They can also be completely doused in water making them perfect accessories for food manufacturing or areas that are frequently hosed down.

The two-volume set, CCIS 243 and CCIS 244, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Information Computing and Applications, ICICA 2010, held in Qinhuangdao, China, in October 2011. The 191 papers presented in both volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They are organized in topical sections on computational statistics, social networking and computing, evolutionary computing and applications, information education and application, internet and web computing, scientific and engineering computing, system simulation computing, bio-inspired and DNA computing, internet and Web computing, multimedia networking and computing, parallel and distributed computing.
Scalable Computing and Communications reviews the latest advances in the all-important field of scalable computing. Bringing together contributions from world-renowned researchers in diverse areas, the book covers circuit and component design, software, operating systems, networking in scalable computing and mobile computing, green computing, next-generation networking, network-on-chip paradigms, cloud computing, computational grids, peer-to-peer systems, high-performance computing and more. It also offers insight into future trends and emerging topics, plus case studies to illustrate concepts under discussion.
The history of computing could be told as the story of hardware and software, or the story of the Internet, or the story of "smart" hand-held devices, with subplots involving IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter. In this concise and accessible account of the invention and development of digital technology, computer historian Paul Ceruzzi offers a broader and more useful perspective. He identifies four major threads that run throughout all of computing`s technological development: digitization–the coding of information, computation, and control in binary form, ones and zeros; the convergence of multiple streams of techniques, devices, and machines, yielding more than the sum of their parts; the steady advance of electronic technology, as characterized famously by "Moore`s Law"; and the human-machine interface. Ceruzzi guides us through computing history, telling how a Bell Labs mathematician coined the word "digital" in 1942 (to describe a high-speed method of calculating used in anti-aircraft devices), and recounting the development of the punch card (for use in the 1890 U.S. Census). He describes the ENIAC, built for scientific and military applications; the UNIVAC, the first general purpose computer; and ARPANET, the Internet`s precursor. Ceruzzi`s account traces the world-changing evolution of the computer from a room-size ensemble of machinery to a "minicomputer" to a desktop computer to a pocket-sized smart phone. He describes the development of the silicon chip, which could store ever-increasing amounts of data and enabled ever-decreasing device size. He visits that hotbed of innovation, Silicon Valley, and brings the story up to the prese
