The advantages of customized tablet PCs

Tablet PCs play an irreplaceable role in industrial transformation as industrial big data touch centre. With the wave of the world's fourth industrial revolution, tablet PCs are becoming increasingly popular in the industry and it is clear that tablets equipped with generic standards do not meet the requirements of some companies. As a result, customization of tablets has become a necessary attribute of the product. Depending on the customization, the tablet PC will be more in line with the requirements of the user solution application. So, what are the special features of customized industrial tablet PCs? Let's take a look.

 

What is a customized tablet PC?

 

First of all, it is important to understand what a tablet PC is: a tablet PC is actually an industrial control computer, an industrial control machine, an industrial control machine. So, what is the difference between a customized flat panel computer and a normal flat panel computer?

 

Custom industrial computers are evaluated in application scenarios according to the customer's requirements. Interfaces, CPU, memory, hard disk, graphics card, sound card, housing, size, protection I/O data exchange can be implemented according to user requirements. Customized design for multi-directional performance such as dust and water resistance, display effects and module integration.

Why do you customize a flat panel PC?

 

To have the versatility to meet the requirements of industrial users. For example, in terms of an interface, the user has an external machine that is not fixed and can be combined with the performance of the tablet to exchange data. If the tablet is simple and fixed to the interface, it is usually not adequate for the customer's use.

 

This requires its universal interface setup, which can be universal not only for USB, DC, HDIM, VGA, but also for Ethernet, headphones and other ports in order to meet general industrial requirements, such as connecting other external devices to the printer.

 

At the same time, customized industrial computers offer stable performance. In industrial scenarios, different levels of protection and requirements can be designed to suit the customer's different usage environments. For example, on top of dust and water resistance, based on the harsh industrial use environment with lots of dust, water and oil, customized industrial computers can achieve an IP65 protection level to ensure stable operation.

How to choose an industrial panel PC for your business?

The market for industrial panel PCs is becoming more and more widespread, not only in industry but also in business. 

A suitable industrial panel PC needs to be considered from the physical characteristics, display characteristics, processing performance and manufacturers' services and other aspects of a comprehensive consideration. 

A. Robust and durable against harsh environments 

The industrial panel PC is mainly used in complex and harsh operating environments, requiring the device itself to have good three-proof function, able to waterproof, dust proof, shockproof. 

Second, excellent display, automatic dimming function 

First of all, the brightness requirements (the best distance and ideal lighting conditions), indoor environment brightness 250 ~ 300cd/m2 sunlight can be read, if in outdoor applications, usually very high brightness requirements, need 500 ~ 1000cd/m2. With the outdoor light in the day will continue to change, can be customized industrial panel PC automatic dimming function, can sense the ambient light brightness level, automatic adjust the backlight. This not only makes the operating experience more comfortable, but also more energy efficient.

Stable performance and rich expansion 

The industrial panel PC as a whole solution of industrial control machine + screen, compared with the split solution, its advantage is the stability of performance. 

Four, customized services

Finally, when choosing an industrial panel PC, even if the panel PC has an excellent modular design, sometimes the standard products still can't meet the user's needs, and this is when professional manufacturers and services are needed to alleviate the customer's problems.

Although standardized panel PCs offer excellent performance, the needs of users are constantly changing and growing fast and efficient R&D resources can provide customization services including mechanical modifications, software mirroring assignments, I/O adjustments, etc. Therefore, users can get exclusive products through customization services to achieve different application needs.

The precautions of industrial main board

Industrial control main board is used in industrial settings, the main board is used by industrial computers. According to the demand, main board can adapt to a wide range of temperature environments, it can adapt to harsh environments and work for a long time under high load, etc.. So what matters should be noted in the use of industrial control main board? Here's a look at the following.

Please plug and unplug components under power failure conditions. Before connecting the power connector to the main board, please you confirm that the power is off to avoid instantaneous power shocks that cause damage to sensitive components.

In addition, please confirm that there is no pin or other short circuit caused by the transportation process, Note: modern electronic products are very sensitive to static electricity, take the main board before, please wear a static hand ring or static gloves to conduct your body static electricity away.

 You place the main board in the static table mat or static bag and confirm the correct jumper configuration of the main board to avoid damage to the product caused by misuse.

Industrial control main board can simultaneously support CRT and 18bit color TFTLCD display output without affecting each other, you can use when connected to use at the same time. Accessories have CRT adapter cable, one end of the adapter cable to the main board CN4, the other end to the CRT display, CRT power can be correctly displayed.

What kinds of self-service terminals are there?

With the development of China's social economy and the continuous progress of science and technology, the quality of people's life has been improved, and with it, the pursuit of people's life. The application of self-service terminals has also started to become available everywhere. Various kinds of self-service terminals appear in our lives, so do we know what kinds of self-service terminals there are?

Classification according to function.

Financial category: ATM, automatic bill payment machine, self-service card issuer, self-service passbook replenishment boarding, etc. Through the bank self-service terminals can be transferred, query, purchase financial products and other non-cash business. 

Public service category: self-service card machines, self-service library service machines, taxation self-service terminals, etc.

Consumer retail: vending machines, self-service gasoline machines, self-service food ordering machines, etc.

Medical services: self-service registration machines, self-service bill collection machines, self-service registration and payment machines, etc. It can protect the privacy of the patient, avoid wrongly taking test sheets, and effectively solve the problem of accumulation and loss of test reports. In a word, self-service terminals bring convenience to people's life and work.

Classification according to structure. 

All-in-one machine: Self-service terminal all-in-one machine has the advantages of explosion-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and anti-glare shell, infrared touch display, and can perform a variety of interactive operations.

Single-screen machine: Single-screen machine self-service terminal consists of independent information release screen and cabinet, with strong visual impact, comes with infrared sensing device, which can automatically convert the operation interface after detecting the user, with advantages such as eye-catching, flexible conversion, high market share and good reputation. 

Wall-mounted machine: its advantages mainly include not taking up space and beautiful and simple appearance. In addition, it also has the advantage of good interaction, which in turn increases the customer's goodwill and reputation of the brand. 

In summary, the emergence of self-service terminals brings benefits to people, and there is no limit to its application scope, and the application field is not restricted. Secondly, the self-service terminal can work 24 hours a day, and it can work all year round without fail. 

What are the disadvantages of a mini PC for a business?

Assuming you mean a USSF or smaller.

There are not many actually, which is why so many are used in business environments.

Others have mentioned the lack of expand ability - so you really need to know WHAT you need when you go out to buy one, as there is little or no scope to add anything afterwards.

If you want to upgrade the graphics, you will have to hope it works with an GPU.

In my mind, for pure business use, you have to carefully consider what CPU to go for; not just for longevity; but because the bigger cpus draw more power and create more heat, so the fans have to work hard to keep it going.

And the fans in these cases have to be small - and that means very noisy when their speed is raped up.

You CAN get small, efficient and quiet Noctua fans, but I don’t know of a system builder using them - they aren’t cheap - and retro fitting isn’t always possible.

There are many mini PCs coming in from China that are basically laptops with no screen, they tend to be a lot quieter, but remember the CPU inside are “m” versions, so are a computationally a lot less powerful than the desktop versions, and so may run out of steam in a couple of years, due to software bloat.

Pick the right one, and it will do the job you want for 10+ years; pick the wrong one and you will be looking to replace it in 2 years.

What is the best mini PC for programming?

The best mini PC for programming is one that ticks all the boxes you care about. Here are some points to consider:

Twice the memory working set so it doesn’t have to swap, and has some over for buffering (I have 32GB) — allow for operating systems and applications to double in size each 3 years;

 SSD for primary disk, HDD for archive / backup;

Best CPU you can afford — if you spend more than 1 second waiting for the computer to respond. Basically you want enough CPU power and cores so it can run your IDE and two copies of the application (development example and auto testing in background);

Enough displays so one display can be your IDE, one can be what the customer normally sees, and optionally a third for reference material; 

[I run two HD screens off the laptop]

Portable if you work in multiple places [I picked the Toshiba Satellite P870 because I wanted 32GB of memory, two disks, and a 17″ screen about the same pixels per inch as the screens I was going to also connect]

A decent keyboard and mouse — I personally use a Logitech K800 keyboard and Performance MX mouse, and take at least the mouse, sometimes the keyboard when I go onsite. Pick what is your own personal preference, and if necessary adjust the sensitivity of the mouse.

 Pick the operating system that you like best for the work you are doing (I prefer Ubuntu LTS linux, and run windows in virtual machines as needed);

[Edited to add peripherals and OpSys at Alex’s suggestion]

The only downsides of having a system that is more powerful that some production systems, are a) that you are much less aware of any accidental inefficiencies and b) with 32Gb of memory my system takes longer to come out of hibernation than it does to boot cold (on linux) because hibernation is a full memory copy, whilst boot isn’t.

What is the main thing to look for in a host?

The cloud computing era, web hosting as a product of cloud computing, because of the price of cheap, simple to use by many individuals and enterprises love renting web hosting more and more people. The Internet technology continues to develop, the demand for web hosting is also growing, many of the users who have not used web hosting white also began to learn how to use, learn web hosting, the first from the purchase of web hosting. So what aspects should a newcomer to renting a web host pay attention to?

1, the speed of web hosting

The speed of access to the web host will directly affect the future use of the problem, so we will be the first to pay attention to the speed of the problem. Generally speaking, the web hosting provider can provide the relevant IP for testing, we can ping, the delay of about 60ms is normal, if the overseas will reach about 200ms. After the test, we can also look at the speed of access to different IPs, to see how fast different lines of access, telecommunications and Netcom can access each other this is also very important for user experience. 

2, the stability of the web host 

If we use web hosting as a web space, then the stability of the host will directly affect the site, for user access and site optimization have a certain impact on the weight of the site will also decline. The actual web site is a great way to get the most out of your web site.

3, web hosting program environment

The web host's program environment if inconsistent with the website program will be hindered in its use, so we should pay attention to the host's program environment, the website construction program is mainly ASP and PHP, the database is divided into MYSQL and MSSQL. many newcomers do not know how to choose when choosing the program language to support. However, many hosting service providers offer web hosts that mostly support ASP and PHP. for example, windows system hosts support HTML/ASP/.Net2.0/PHP/etc. environments. 

4, web hosting technical services

Most novice webmasters are unfamiliar with the management of web hosting, and there will be various problems that they cannot solve by themselves. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a hosting service provider with good technical service support. Try to choose some of the more well-known domestic, good reputation of the host service providers, with a professional technical team and industry experience. 

5, the actual use of web hosting

When choosing a web host to rent, we will have different configurations of hosts to choose from, which need to consider the actual use of your website to choose. If we want to set up a personal website, a personal website is usually just because of personal interest, the general demand is to publish blog posts, interact with fans, and personal style display, etc. The website budget is not much, so we are usually more concerned about the price and features of the host. If we want to set up a corporate website, corporate websites are generally designed to promote products and services, aiming to increase corporate awareness, expand their reach, attract customers or sell goods online, etc. Then we are more concerned about the performance of the web host, access speed, technical support, etc. 

The web host needs to pay attention to the aspects of renting or more, mainly according to their actual use of the situation, so that you can choose the right host.

 

 

The type of panel pc touch screen

The distribution of the current advertising all in one pc is also varied, touch type is also emerge in endlessly, for many consumers to buy things, always first to know exactly what to buy types, panel pc, touch type variety, but many consumers are not clear, I should choose or design type. BVS is about panel pc those things for you today!

Now the most widely used and the most popular panel pc touch screen, there are more in the market, nothing more than infrared touch and capacitive touch. So how do we choose and distinguish between the two? Let's talk about capacitive touch first. First of all, it looks nice and smooth, supporting 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 10pm and of course 20pm and more. This is related to the fact that our chip is what we call the processor, and the capacitance is in a G+G structure. The touch features are heat and press. Therefore, its price is relatively expensive, but its performance is also very stable. The optional range of capacitor is about 10 to 65 inches, so the selection range is not very large.

Next is infrared touch. Its touch mode is ten-point interactive induction, but the appearance is affected by the infrared touch frame, and there is a groove of the frame. Relative to the capacitance, the United States point of view is relatively close, and the infrared is the induction characteristics of the cross interaction, so it is susceptible to the impact of dust on the internal screen. This time need to be corrected to recover, so for infrared, dust and ash prevention is necessary, but the infrared relative capacitance price, is relatively moderate, the size of the choice of type is more. Basically covers capacitance selection, but also expands the selection range of more than 100 sizes.

Okay, so with those two common types of touch mentioned, let's talk about some of the rare or obsolete types of touch on the market.

Resistant touch, its advantage lies in its lightness. However, because the touch type is a positioning touch, it is easy to be affected by heat, resulting in touch failure. So relative to the market, even if it is cheap will be eliminated, you can refer to our earliest Nokia before the kind of mobile phone screen. Nano touch, nano structure is G+F type, function is realized through heat sensing and pressing, through the window structure to achieve induction, is the characteristics of its nano induction. However, for nano-touch, relatively not very stable, the price is also on the middle. And the most deadly is, once the panel pc touch screen appears to fail, basically represents the scrap, so it is one of the reasons that the market is rare. The last one is optical touch. Optical is an panel pc with light source modules installed at four corners and reflective strips attached to the frame to realize touch writing. However, as a type not the mainstream in the market, it is relatively rare in the market.

That's all BVS has to say about panel pc touch screen types. If you want to know more about our products, please pay attention to our website.
