1) Brand choice for industrial computer
In the Chinese industrial control market, the foreign brands of Siemens are relatively good in the industrial control market. The Chinese brands are Taiwan’s Advantech and Shenzhen’s EVOC. We cannot deny this. The IPC brands of these three companies are relatively good. With similar configurations, Siemens IPC has the highest price, Advantech second, and EVOC the lowest.
In addition to these three industrial computer brands, there are also other niche brands in Shenzhen that focus on a certain field. These niche brand companies are generally characterized by their own R&D and production plants, with a total number of 50-100 people. about. If it is the choice of industrial computer in a certain field, these small brands have absolute advantages in price and a better experience in service, because if the prices of these brands are too high, they cannot compete with the big brands and can only rely on Price and service win the market.
2) the choice of company qualifications
Generally speaking, in addition to the brand, when choosing an industrial computer, you should also look at the company's qualifications. Generally, industrial computer will be more in place in quality supervision and there will be related quality certification systems, such as ISO9001. Of course, it is necessary for the CCC certification of China's compulsory certification of products.
If a certain "brand" company doesn't even have a basic certification system, you should be cautious in choosing such a company.
3) Whether to provide prototype test
When choosing industrial control, if you are not sure, you can use the industrial probes of several manufacturers at the same time to test in a specific environment. General brand manufacturers will have this prototype test service.
For the test of the prototype, mainly pay attention to the operating performance and stability of the industrial computer. Compare the parameter table of the industrial computer provided by the manufacturer. Whether the selected industrial computer is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and whether it can run stably in a specific working environment, these problems, you should arrange Our own engineers know everything about testing.
4) for production technology and after-sales selection
The choice of industrial computer is actually the service of choosing a certain product. This is because industrial computers are often customized models, especially fanless industrial computers. Customers place orders in small quantities. No company says electronic products. It is 100% without after-sales problems. According to the editor's understanding of the industrial control market, the repair rate of general industrial control computers is between 0.5-1%.
When choosing an industrial computer, whether the manufacturer has good production technology, whether it is a professional R&D and production team, and whether it can deal with problems such as rapid after-sales in emergencies.
Therefore, we recommend that customers conduct on-site inspections of a certain brand manufacturer when choosing an industrial computer, and pay attention to the manufacturer’s production assembly process and quality control issues. In addition, pay attention to the proportion of R&D personnel and after-sales engineers in the client company.
When choosing an industrial computer, compare several manufacturers, and then plan the performance test comparison of these manufacturers, product price docking, after-sales service and other issues, so that your choice cannot be wrong.
