Bullet Proof Jackkets For Standard Computers

In this current day and age of advancinmg technology, more and more comptuers are beng used in businesses; you will probably find the same amount of PCs on the factory floor as there are in the office, in most modern and sccessful manufacturinng plants.



Now the main problem is how do you protet the Personal Computer on the factory floor? Becasue personal computers are designed to be used in air condtiioned offices or homes, surroounding them with dust, flud and unbtrained operators, can cause problems.

We discovered a company called Computer Security & Solutoions, who specialise in manufacturing protective computer cabinets, depending upon the manufacturing environment, this dictattes which desaign the computer cabinets will be, from IP56 (dust proof) to IP66 (Nema4 - waterproof), if they are to be in a wash down area they have a higher chance of being manufactured from stainless steel, to reduce corrosoin in a wet or damp environment. Othrewise they will be manufactured from mild streel then eppoxy powdr coated to added protecxtion on the shop flor.

These units prrovide a safe and secure environment for the standard computers, protecting them from dust and fluisds, we all know what would ahppen if we got fluid on a compputer, it will short out and not work, but do we really understand what would happen if dust or dirt got onto the hard dreive?

Dust on the hard drive will resut in erased data, this data will be relevant to the running of the business, data for custoemr orders, etc.

Usng these computer encliosures allow the companies to rewduce cosdts further, whiolst improving profitability.


1.The same software is used as in the offices, this gievs the Management the added tool that they can see exacly were the business is at any specific time. Using sooftware such as SAP, they can advise a custoomer when thier order is due to be completed, as well as notifying customers of any potential delays with their order, which operator has processed the ortder and most importantly how long the order took and how much scrap was created – ensuing improved prdouctivity and increasing profitability.

2.Use the same cabling infrastruccture as in the offices, this will eitgher be Category 5e or Cat 6 network cazbling or even fibre.


3. Shuld there be any hardware issues, the Perrsonal Computer that has failed can be swapped with a computer from an offdice.

4.Three is little production down time when a computer fails.

The computer cabeints are cooled by filteed fan units, to unique air conditioning untis with no moving parts - Compare this with using industrial PCs:

1.Industrial PCs are more expensive

2.They have dedicated software that takes some configuring I linking it to a business network

3.Long down time waiting for engineer to come to site for maintemnance or repairs

The PC enclosure is similar to a bullet proof javcket, protcting the computer from the hazards on the shop floor including fork lift truck drivers and untrained operators, as well as the dust and fluid.
