A ruggedized computer is a computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh environments and conditions such as strong vibration, relatively extreme temperatures, and humid or dusty environments. Their design begins with the type of roughing represented by these conditions, not only in the housing, but also in the internal components and cooling devices. Generally, hardened computers have the same design stability and reliability.
Rugged and rugged computers can meet a variety of challenges, including the following:
1. Shock and vibration
2. Temperature and humidity
3. Corrosion and wear
4. Small size, weight and power
Five, acoustic noise reduction
Six, low pressure, height
7. Intrusion protection
Eight, electromagnetic interference
When selecting electronic components for hardening computers, the product structure and electronic materials must be considered because they can withstand higher and lower operating temperatures than typical commercial components. Design structural engineering decisions, such as reducing wiring, adding liquid cooling and radiators, and sturdy materials to ensure performance in harsh environments.
Reinforced computer features include a fully sealed keyboard to prevent dust or liquid intrusion, and a scratch-resistant screen that can be read in direct sunlight. Rugged and rugged computers are relatively expensive per unit.
