Industrial automation; consists of three essential components: hardware, software, and system. The industrial computer is the cornerstone of industrial automation, the core of automation equipment, and the foundation of information infrastructure. The industrial computer is now the driver of industrial automation and innovation that pushes the boundaries of automation as we know it.

Robotics and Industrial Computers

Industrial computers are driving the robotics industry by enabling industrial automation and digital information from sensors, cameras, and countless IoT and industrial software to meet in an industrial computer's robust and easy-to-use interface capable of operating in harsh environments.

 

Big Data and Industrial Computers

By capturing and analyzing data at every stage of production (via specially designed software, sensors, and industrial computing as the processing power of this data), manufacturers can review, create new production designs or optimize existing ones. Big data allows businesses to connect, compare and evaluate different parts of the production cycle and use this information to make production more competent, cost-effective, and data-driven decisions. The ability of industrial PCs to handle big data increases productivity and production performance. At the same time, the availability of multiple fabrics and solutions makes industrial PCs affordable for manufacturers of all sizes. Industrial automation systems powered by industrial PCs capture, process, and analyze a wide variety of big data. This interpreted data is then effectively used as follows:

• Increasing productivity and production performance
• Preventing production losses thanks to its robustness that enables manufacturers to prevent production interruptions due to machine failures
• Improving equipment usage and overall equipment effectiveness
• Reducing production costs by operating equipment at optimized energy output
• Using remote access control systems
• Managing the cybersecurity of the complex ecosystem

Industry 4.0 Revolution and Industrial Computers

Industry 4.0, a holistic approach that requires multi-faceted modernization through technology, does not mean machines are replacing people – it means people need different skills. Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, requires the efficient application of the Internet of Things and communication technology and production. Industry 4.0 transformation; Industrial equipment, machinery, logistics systems, IoT, communication systems, Big Data, and analytics envision high efficiency, productivity, and self-managing processes. The industrial computer is at the center of the intertwined web of these interactions. Industry 4.0 envisions the production of large quantities of highly customizable products through industrial automation; thus, Industrial computers play a crucial role in an environment where production and logistics communicate intelligently and effectively, creating a flexible manufacturing ecosystem.

New Opportunities

Finally, the growing role of industrial automation, robotics, IoT, and Big Data is expected to bring new business models to life, opening new opportunities for large and small manufacturers. Just as mobile technologies are revolutionizing the communications and entertainment industries, increasingly powerful industrial computers allow industrial automation to revolutionize manufacturing processes and even create new business models. As a result, businesses that will reap the benefits of digital technologies will stay ahead of the competition over the next decade.
