What Is an Industrial Computer?
An industrial computer (often shortened to IPC) is a computing platform engineered for continuous operation in places where a standard office desktop would struggle: factory floors, control cabinets, kiosks, vehicles, telecom shelters, warehouses and outdoor enclosures.
