As technology has been rapidly developing over past few years, more and more factories have started to replace human work with intelligent machines, which leads to lower labor costs and higher efficiency. These intelligent machines are normally controlled by industrial computers. However, unstable operations, frequent equipment restarts and insufficient industrial interfaces have long troubled smart factory managers. These issues waste production time and increase long-term operating expenses.

By deploying Konda’s industrial computers, we have solved the three pain points that normally factories face.

Pain Point 1: Fragile Structure & Poor Environmental Adaptability, Causing Frequent Production Line Downtime 

Normally, we don’t recommend our customers to select fan-cooled industrial PCs, because fan-cooled PCs easily get blocked by dust, triggering overheating shutdowns, blue screens and sudden restarts. Every unexpected halt brings massive losses in output, wasted raw materials and overtime labor costs. 

Konda’s solution: Fanless designed, with fully sealed IP65 standard, support wide temperature range (-10℃ ~ 60℃), shock & vibration resistant housing for 7/24 non-stop operation. 

Pain Point 2: Insufficient Industrial I/O & Complicating System Integration

Industrial Automation requires industrial PCs to connect to several different equipment. For example, PLC, vision cameras, barcode scanners, sensors and label printers etc.. Also, a stable power supplier and support 9-36V is the most common scenario.

Insufficient I/O ports, like limited USB or serial ports, forcing engineers to use messy external hubs that create extra failure points and unstable communication.

Konda’s solution: Abundant native RS232/485/LAN/USB industrial interfaces, full compatibility with mainstream industrial software, wide 9–36V DC power input for on-site voltage fluctuation tolerance.

Pain Point 3: Unoptimized Touch & Display Performance Affect Efficiency 

Low-brightness screens suffer severe reflection under workshop lighting and sunlight; operators struggle to read data clearly causing errors. In addition, ordinary capacitive screens cannot recognize glove touch; workers have to repeatedly take on/off safety gloves to input MES orders or view process drawings, wasting plenty of operating time.

Konda’s solution: we use industrial resistive/capacitive dual touch (supports glove operation), high-bright anti-glare LCD, built-in EMC shielding to eliminate touch interference.
