To find the optimal unit on-site.
This document provides a clear explanation of the basics of industrial PCs and the optimal selection methods considering the AI era. It introduces the differences between industrial PCs and consumer PCs, as well as features such as long-term stable operation, environmental resistance, and expandability, along with their applications in AI inference and edge computing. Additionally, it organizes selection points for CPU, memory, storage, OS, and interfaces based on four steps: "clarifying the purpose," "installation environment," "I/O requirements," and "key specifications." Furthermore, it explains points that are often overlooked during implementation, such as ECC memory, M.2 SSDs, GPUs, power supplies, Windows/Linux licenses, TPM compatibility, and environmental resistance. This is a practical guide for those looking to select the most suitable industrial PC for their applications and installation environments.

Applications/Examples of results
【Applications and Achievements】 ■ Background and Issues General PCs often fail due to dust, heat, and vibration, causing production lines to stop. Model changes occur rapidly, making it difficult to continue procurement or re-evaluation of the same model. There is a need for PCs that can withstand 24-hour continuous operation and legacy port expansion. ■ Main Applications FA and Manufacturing Lines: Production monitoring, data collection at IoT edges. Image Analysis and Inspection: Integration into AI visual inspection devices. Infrastructure and Medical: Monitoring of transportation and water treatment, integration into medical devices. ■ Implementation Results and Effects Manufacturing Industry: Introduction of fanless PCs has reduced failure rates and prevented line stoppages. Equipment Manufacturers: Adoption of long-term supply models has significantly reduced re-evaluation costs.
