An industrial embedded computer is a core building block of modern industrial systems. These computers are designed to handle dedicated tasks within control networks, automation infrastructure, and machine-level deployments. By assigning workloads to hardware built specifically for industrial use, organizations can improve system reliability, communication efficiency, and data processing stability compared to general-purpose computing platforms.
However, deploying industrial embedded computers at scale requires balancing performance, durability, and cost. Westward Sales supplies industrial embedded computers from Axiomtek that are engineered for heavy industrial environments while remaining economically viable. These systems are designed to meet the operational standards required for continuous-duty use, helping maximize uptime without introducing unnecessary complexity or expense.
Tough jobs require tough machines. Heavy industrial environments frequently push computing hardware to its limits. The Axiomtek series includes industrial embedded computers such as the eBOX560, a palm-sized system housed in an aluminum and cold-rolled steel enclosure. This construction protects against common hazards found in manufacturing and industrial settings.
The system is rated for nominal operation in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C. Fanless cooling further improves reliability by reducing power consumption and eliminating moving parts, while also expanding installation flexibility across a range of industrial environments.
The primary role of an industrial embedded computer is to execute application-specific tasks reliably. To support this, Axiomtek offers a range of processor options, I/O configurations, mounting kits, power supplies, and storage selections to meet varied deployment requirements.
The eBOX565 is an example of a configurable industrial embedded computer designed for more demanding workloads. It supports Intel Celeron, Core i3, or Core i5 processors and offers mounting options for DIN-rail, VESA, and wall installations. A PCI Express Mini slot provides I/O flexibility, while optional Wi-Fi or LTE modules enable wireless connectivity. All configurations are backed by a 5-year warranty, supporting long-term system operation well beyond initial deployment.
Selecting the right industrial embedded computer requires careful evaluation of operating conditions, performance requirements, interface needs, and expected service life. Aligning these factors early in the design process helps ensure stable operation and minimizes long-term maintenance risk.
Westward Sales works with engineers and system integrators to identify industrial embedded computers that match both technical requirements and budget constraints. By evaluating computing needs alongside broader networking and infrastructure considerations, Westward Sales helps streamline system selection and deployment across industrial environments.
