Products Knowledge

Many manufacturing enterprises aim to deploy intelligent all-in-one industrial computers in their aging production lines to enable data visualization, electronic work instructions and real-time monitoring, yet they are often constrained by existing infrastructure. Renovating cable trenches, adding dedicated power supply lines or rearranging equipment layouts on a large scale translates to exorbitant renovation costs and prolonged production downtime. In fact, with targeted customized solutions, the seamless deployment of new-generation intelligent equipment can be achieved without the need for large-scale civil and electrical renovations.

Identifying Key Constraints and Defining Deployment Requirements

The first step to successful deployment is to accurately identify on-site constraints, which typically cover four core aspects: first, the power supply mode – whether only conventional AC power outlets are available on-site, or if the existing DC power interfaces of on-site equipment can be utilized; second, installation space – whether standard cabinets or flat wall surfaces are present, and the dimensional and load-bearing capacities of the available space; third, environmental factors – the on-site levels of dust, oil contamination, vibration, and temperature/humidity; fourth, connection requirements – which existing equipment (e.g., PLCs, code scanners, sensors) the new equipment needs to perform data interaction with, and whether the interface types are compatible.

Targeted Customization for Seamless Integration

Based on the aforementioned conditions, the core challenges can be addressed through hardware customization.In terms of power supply: if only AC power is available on-site, the equipment can be integrated with a built-in wide-range power adapter; if the DC power cabinets of production line equipment are to be utilized, we can customize industrial power modules compliant with the required voltage specifications (e.g., 24VDC), eliminating the need for additional wiring.

In terms of structure and installation: customization demonstrates its full value when standard installation methods are not feasible. For example, we can design custom mounting brackets or cantilevers that leverage the existing frames or pipelines of on-site equipment to achieve secure fixation and flexible angle adjustment; for scenarios with extremely limited space, the overall device size can be reduced or a slim-profile design can be adopted to fit into confined spaces.

In terms of environmental adaptability: challenges can be mitigated by upgrading the equipment’s protection rating. For high-dust environments, we add sealed interfaces and positive-pressure dustproof designs; for areas with oil splashes, protective panels are installed or corrosion-resistant coated surfaces are adopted. These measures ensure the stable operation of the equipment in the original on-site environment, without the need for prior environmental renovation.

In terms of connectivity and compatibility: customized interfaces are the key. If the existing equipment uses legacy serial ports (e.g., RS-232/485) or specific industrial bus interfaces, these interfaces can be directly integrated into the new all-in-one computers – this avoids the instability and cluttered additional cabling caused by the use of external converters.
