Industrial computers are built with parts and enclosures that allow them to operate in harsh and hazardous conditions that would cause consumer-grade computers to fail. Industrial computer solutions are built with rugged components that can withstand extremely hot and cold temperatures, as well as shock-absorbing features that mitigate the effects of shock and vibration in industrial environments. Industrial solutions may also include protection from high humidity, as well as direct exposure to water, dust and other particulates.
