In order to lower the price, some companies plan to use commercial grade products till they break down and then just get a newer and cheaper one to replace them. This, however is a short-sighted planning in an industrial environment. Such companies are opting for a lower price (not lower cost of ownership). It is without a doubt that the initial price of a commercial grade computer will be lower but consider the additional costs such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>purchase price of new unit if the existing unit fails<\/li>\n<li>more maintenance costs and resources required to replace and install the faulty units<\/li>\n<li>downtime while the product is waiting to be replaced<\/li>\n<li>training resource required if the manufacturer has already ceased production of the existing model<\/li>\n<li>Complex mounting since commercial grades have no standard mounting available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Needless to say, an industrial product will provide significantly lower total cost of ownership.<\/p>\n<h2>Industrial Design<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the commercial applications where they are used an average of a few hours per day; industrial computers are characterized by long hours of operation. Commercial grade computers are also not designed to withstand long operating hours without overheating and potentially damaging its internal components. On the other hand, industrial grade computers have integrated cooling \u201cfans\u201d or device to help dissipate heat efficiently. In fact, the most common reason for failure in consumer grade computer is the low grade power supply and electronics. If you plan on acquiring commercial grade computers for your industry to be used more than 25 hours per week or even 24 x 7, you should definitely reconsider such a decision.<\/p>\n<h2>Industrial Computer for Industrial Environment<\/h2>\n<p>With longer run times, compatibility issues and demanding applications, it is imminent that an industrial grade computers are the best fit.
