Industrial tablet computers are a branch of computers, which are different from commercial computers because they require stable performance in different environments.


Industrial tablet computers are mainly used in telecommunications, electric power, multimedia, national defense, automation equipment, manufacturing and other fields. Most of them are used as human-machine interfaces. Communication and control terminals such as PLC and POS provide a relative basis for human-machine interface and production process control. The best solution.


In the production structure, the industrial panel computer is composed of three parts: the industrial control host, the display and the touch screen. Among them, the industrial control host (industrial computer) is equivalent to our commercial computer host. This part is the core part of a company's intelligent manufacturing.


The requirements of industrial computer are relatively strict, with high requirements in terms of temperature resistance, vibration resistance, dust resistance, and waterproof level. These basic characteristics are to ensure the stability of the industrial tablet computer.


In terms of touch, most industrial tablet computers are now touch-sensitive computers, and generally there are two control methods: capacitive touch-sensitive tablet computers and resistive touch-sensitive computers.


Industrial tablet computer capacitive screen, electrostatic induction, need the conductor to touch the screen to respond, so it does not need to be very hard, as long as the finger touches the screen lightly, it can be recognized. Then, ordinary stylus can not be used for capacitive screen, capacitive screen has a special stylus, charged with static electricity. The advantage of the capacitive screen is that it is sensitive and supports multi-touch. The disadvantage is that it cannot be accurately positioned. For example, when editing a document, it is not so easy for you to precisely click and edit a certain word or punctuation mark.


Industrial tablet computer resistive screens are pressure sensitive and require force to respond. As long as the strength is appropriate, the resistive screen is also quite sensitive. The advantage of the resistive screen is that it can be accurately positioned and is suitable for various industrial sites. The disadvantage is that it does not support multi-touch, and the sensitivity is not as high as that of a capacitive screen.


For laymen who have never been in touch with the industrial control industry, there are relatively few applications for industrial control computers and industrial tablet computers. Some laypersons also have some resistance to this industry, and everyone feels that it is not easy to develop business in this industry.


In fact, industrial tablet computers are widely used. The industrial tablet computers we see in some industrial sites can be embedded in machines, cabinets or placed on the operating table as a man-machine display operation interface, which can be used in banks, shopping malls, hotels, railway stations, Public places such as buses, subway stations, parks, etc. are used as media (advertising) players or query terminals, etc., and industrial control tablet computers are used in telecommunications, electricity, multimedia, national defense, automation equipment, and manufacturing.
