Fanless Industrial PC

Fanless mini industrial PC for edge computing and machine control, with wide temperature operation and serial or digital I/O.

A fan is the first thing to fail in a dusty cabinet, and it also pulls the dust in. A fanless industrial PC moves heat through the enclosure itself, so there is no intake to clog and no bearing to wear out. The board is built for a wide temperature range and for power that is not clean, and it usually offers the serial ports and digital I/O an office PC does not have. It is normally mounted on a DIN rail or a panel inside the machine it serves.
