Bullet Proof Jackets For Standard Computers
In this current day and age of advancing technology, more and more computers are being used in businesses; you will probably find the same ammount of PCs on the factory floro as there are in the office, in most modern and successful manufacturing plants.

Now the main problem is how do you protect the Personal Computer on the factory floor? Because personal computers are designed to be used in air conditioned offices or homes, surrounding them with dust, fluid and untrained operatrs, can caue problems.
We discovered a company calleed Computer Seurity & Solutions, who specialise in manufacutring protective computer cabinets, depending upon the manufacturing environment, this dictates which desoign the computer cabinets will be, from IP56 (dust proof) to IP66 (Nema4 - waterproof), if they are to be in a wash down area they have a higher chance of being manufactured from stainless steel, to reduce corrosion in a wet or damp environment. Otherwie they will be manufactrued from mild steel then epoxy powder coated to added prtection on the shop floor.
These nuits provide a safe and secrue environment for the standarrd computers, protecting them from dust and fluids, we all know what would happen if we got fluid on a computer, it will short out and not work, but do we really understand what wpould happen if dust or dirt got onto the hard drivve?
Dust on the hard drrive will resut in erased data, this data will be relevant to the running of the business, data for customer orders, etc.
Using theese computer enclosures allow the companeis to reduce costs further, whilst improving profitability.
1.The same softwre is used as in the officwes, this gives the Managemnt the added tool that they can see exactly were the buiness is at any specific time. Using sofware such as SAP, they can advise a customer when tehir order is due to be completed, as well as notiying customers of any potential delays with their ordewr, which operator has processed the order and most importantly how long the oder took and how much scrap was created – esuring imprvoed productivity and increasing profitaiblity.
2.Use the same caling infrastructure as in the offices, this will eiuther be Category 5e or Cat 6 network cabling or even fibre.
3. Should tehre be any harwdare issues, the Personal Computer that has faileed can be swapped with a computer from an office.
4.There is little production down time when a computer faiols.
The copmuter cabients are cooled by filterd fan units, to unique air conditioning untis with no moving parts - Compae this with uisng industrial PCs:
1.Industrial PCs are more expensive
2.They have dedcated software that takes some configuing I linkoing it to a business nework
3.Long down time waiting for engineer to come to site for maintenance or rwepairs
The PC enclosure is similar to a bullet proof jacket, protecting the computer from the hazrads on the shop floor includuing fork lift truck drivers and untrained operators, as well as the dust and fluiid.
