Rugged computer systems deliver superior reliability

In the harsh conditions of industrial and military environments, rugged computer technology provides reliable performance for mission-critical automation and control applications. Rugged systems are designed and built to work reliably despite the challenges of extremely hot and cold temperatures, shock and vibration, high humidity and damp or dusty conditions. With superior rugged PC computers, companies in a wide range of industries can ensure continuous operation, higher levels of uptime and greater productivity.

Comark is a leading provider of rugged computer and display technology, delivering systems that empower customers to implement smarter solutions and to improve the safety and efficiency of their businesses.

Features of rugged computer technology

Rugged computer equipment is built with components and enclosures that protect electronics from the harsh and hazardous conditions of industrial or military environments. While rugged industrial computers are manufactured to a wide range of standards, most ruggedized PC equipment includes:

  • Heavy-duty components and electronics that can continue to operate reliably in temperatures that range from below freezing to 50°C or above.
  • Anti-corrosive materials and coatings that protect components and connections from the effects of salt mist and high humidity.
  • Shock-absorbing technology that prevents components from being disconnected, dislodged or broken by strong vibration, repeated drops or impact.
  • Strong enclosures that prevent the ingress of water, sand, dust and dirt.
  • Brightly illuminated displays that make it possible to read computer monitors even in the brightest industrial lighting or in direct sunlight.
