PC Housings Safeguard Manufacturing facility Information Systems

By: Max Gallagher

When desktops are installed on to factory floors, they always need protecting, due to the irregular quality surroundings they are located. This is vital when thousands of pounds are being invested in to a manufacturing facility computer device.

Manufacturing unit computer systems are used to record every day process statistics, so that anyone in the administration can see at a look the step any one order is at. Without this technology it would be left to a paper trail all over the firm and if you ever have worked on a manufacturing line, you will know so many things can occur to paperwork.

This is why one manufacturing business have invested in massive monitors on the manufacturing line that let somebody see engineering drawings in full size and the machinist can even zoom in on particular detail, this campaign had a return on its expense in 3 months, owing to the quantity of replacements drawing that did not require printing as well as the technical offices time finding the drawings to reproduce.

Factory computer systems are used for several uses and can even be utilized for showing new manufacturing tactics, for instance on how to work modern CNC machinery, from a single central locality usually the head office, a tutorial can be shown right through the company in it's worldwide locations so every member of staff is up to speed with the operation of the new machine.

So what is desired?
Well firstly a data system on the manufacturing floor, this can be either wireless, however this can be slowed by EMC interferance, so the majority of systems use shielded twisted pair, (also known as FTP - foil, twisted pair) Cat 5 cables. Once this is fitted the desktops need to be housed in a protective case, these cases can either be for a PC based equipent or a thin client solution. Another solution is a pc cabinet.

Then once the pc is hard wired to the central server the applications can be rolled out across the data network ready for team to use.
