Outdoor Computers

Our outdoor computers are equipped with industrial-grade embedded systems specifically designed to operate in harsh environments, they are capable of withstanding continuous exposure to shock, vibration, dust, debris, water, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Features Our Customers Look for in an Industrial Outdoor Computer

Outdoor computers are not a one-size-fits-all solution, as each application has unique requirements. Whether you need wide temperature support to withstand extreme heat or cold, ingress protection to guard against dust and water, or an all-in-one solution with an integrated display for interactive touch functionality, choosing the right system is crucial. Explore the specifications of our industrial outdoor computers to ensure reliable performance, rugged durability, and efficiency, tailored to meet the specific demands of your environment and application.

Industrial Grade Components

While outdoor computers may share some components with commercial solutions, they are built with industrial-grade parts which are rigorously tested and certified for reliable, optimal performance in demanding harsh environments. Every component is carefully selected before being integrated, our industrial-grade PCs ensure dependable operation, even under challenging conditions.

Fanless Designs with Passive Cooling

The key advantage of fanless computers in industrial applications is their resistance to dust and debris. Our outdoor PCs achieve this by using passive cooling techniques. By pairing the CPU with a heat spreader and a chassis heat sink, these systems eliminate the need for ventilation, making them ideal for outdoor use within an enclosure.

Wide Temperature Support

Outdoor computers are designed to handle wide operating temperature ranges, making them ideal for environments with extreme seasonal conditions. Systems can handle ambient operating temperatures from -40 to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme heat or cold. This durability allows our wide temperature computers to maintain reliable operation despite harsh environments.
