     Industrial computer originated in 1984. Early industrial computers were used in the manufacturing process of factories, the control and monitoring of instruments and machinery, and then entered the field of life gradually, and were specialized for different industries. Whether it is the surge in demand for robots in an automated society, the explosion of 5G micro-base stations due to the Russia-Ukraine war, or the mysterious military weapons, they are all areas that industrial computers can touch.

 

     IPCs are different from general consumer and commercial personal computers, which are roughly unified in specifications, so they are mass-produced. Due to the highly customized nature of industrial computers, customers are mostly equipment users or system integrators with technical capabilities, and have certain special needs for product specifications, designs, and services. IPC manufacturers not only need to have technical capabilities, but also have a considerable understanding of the customer's industry to meet the different design needs of customers in different industries. They are customized products and are service-oriented.

 

  • IPC Industrial characteristics:
  1. High product quality and stability requirements
        Industrial computers are mostly used in the industry, and often must be operated in special environments, or operated for a long time. For example, production line automation equipment, data switches in telecommunication equipment rooms, monitoring equipment, enterprise network security servers, navigation systems. It must operate continuously and stably for a long time without interruption, otherwise, it could cause significant losses. Therefore, the stability requirements of the computer system used are particularly strict.
  2. Have a certain technical threshold
        Most industrial computers have industry-specific specifications and are not standardized products, so there are compatibility issues between systems. At the same time, the product must meet the customer's special requirements for the working environment, such as temperature (humidity), waterproof (dust) performance, voltage stabilization system, and uninterruptible power system requirements for special design and adjustment. Therefore, manufacturers must have considerable R&D, production, testing, marketing, and system integration capabilities, have a certain technical threshold, and need to have strong technical capabilities to provide technical consultation before customers and maintenance services after sales.
  3. Long-term supply and strict quality management
        Due to high system stability requirements, IPC usually adopt mature technologies in the market to reduce the probability of failure. The replacement frequency of IPC is less than that of general consumer electronics products, and the life cycle is also longer. Therefore, IPC manufacturers must be able to provide long-term maintenance services and supply capabilities within the product life cycle. At the same time, a long product cycle means that the system may have to run continuously for many years.  Quality control must also be very strict to maintain operate long-term stability of customer systems. For IPC manufacturers, it is also a test of technology and quality control.
  4. Wide range of application fields, many changes in specifications and characteristics
        In addition to being used in the manufacturing industry, IPC have been used in a variety of industries and life surroundings, such as finance, medical care, aerospace, telecommunication networks and life automation, with a wide range of applications. Since it is not a standardized product, the specification changes are very diverse, and it also tests practitioners' familiarity with different customer industries and their ability to design and manufacture different specifications.

 

    In the future, IPC must also provide more complete after-sales services and a more consumer-friendly environment. Because the industrial computer is an intelligent carrier, it should not wait until a problem occurs to provide services, but should be an intelligent service mechanism. Future products should embed integrated data processing capabilities, combined with cloud service capabilities, to become a proactive and valuable service provider, not just a simple after-sales service.

     Driven by many markets that are closely related to the Internet, such as 5G, IoT, data centers, smart homes, access control equipment, automotive communications, etc. , the global demand for network equipment products has increased significantly.

     Now manufacturing enterprises are actively developing in the direction standardization, automation, intellectual, and the traditional network transformers are not satisfying the market’s requires. In response to these situations, the fully automated production of new chip network transformers has great advantages in productivity and performance and will become an important technical direction for the industry in the future.  

     Comparison of traditional network transformers and new chip network transformers: 

 

Tranditional Network Transformers

New Chip Network Transformers

Type of Size

Models are selected according to package size, circuit structure, soldering type, number of pins, etc., resulting in complex models.

Standardized design, material structure simplification, directly remove the traditional plastic shell, models are greatly reduced

Volume

The market requires that the panel area is getting smaller and smaller, and the motherboard space is difficult to use.

Separate design, consists of independent small components, small products size, also can according to actual motherboard space to adjusted the shape and space flexibility.

Production processes

The market requires that the panel area is getting smaller and smaller, and the layout of the motherboard space is difficult to use.

Separate design, consists of independent small components, small products size, also can according to actual space flexibility to adjust the shape and position of the board.

Price, Inventory

Due to original material and product part number too much, package size different, can not purchase batch concentration, inventory risk is high.

It is divided into two main structures: inductive type and capacitive type. The inductive type is evolved from the traditional toroidal transformer. It has the functions of voltage transformation and filtering. It can be compatible with the 1500V high-voltage isolation of the original traditional network transformer. The capacitive structure replaces the transformer part with a filter capacitor, which is a better cost solution for chip network transformers and has better cost advantages.

     IFR (International Federation of Robotics) pointed out that industrial robot is now facing mass requirements of enterprise transformation and digitalization, and that it becomes more and more acceptable for consumers to have service robot in their lives, giving the whole robot industry a positive outlook. Meanwhile, the situation of a single country as the only role of world’s factory will be replaced by a decentralized supply and production system composed of multiple countries. Therefore, the micro-trend of robot industry appears.

     Top 5 robot trends in 2022 IFR announced:

     1 - Robots adopted by new industries

     2 - Robots easier to use

     3 - Robots and humans up-skilling

     4 - Robots secure production

     5 - Robots support digital automation


     Robotics transferred manufacturing process from traditional human labor to” smart” robots, carrying Industry 4.0 Automation. Over the years, robots have been created to take on dangerous or repetitive tasks that exceed human capabilities. Automatic spot welding, heavy material handling, toxic painting operations are also used robots for a long time. These devices require detailed programming and are limited to very specific tasks.

     Robots nowadays include programmable design machine, enabling them to perform a range of actions semi-autonomously or fully autonomously. With full flexibility, they can quickly adapt to new tasks such as moving car engine, as well as simple assembling or operations. Robotics application is still expanding, to fields such as searching and rescuing, inventory checking, meal sending in hospitals, or towel serving in hotels. They are also applied at home environment, performing tasks such as taking pictures, play music, identify different person, through voice command. They can also patrol the risk factors at home while residents are away.

     Robots have gone out of factory manufacturing and are used in the service industry. Besides solving ongoing shortage of workers, they also reduce human contacts. Since robots can take over more routine tasks, they can serve as important human labor with cost effectiveness. As for less automatic factories, they can apply human-robot collaboration as well.

     The merging of robotics and AI has given rise to the current fleet of AI robots. With artificial intelligence, robots can “learn” to do new tasks. In some situation, we can input some database into AI robots to enable them learn faster, and repeat the operations to become smarter.

     Electric tools manufacturing has first come to industrialization in countries in Europe and the United States. Later, Japan quickly become one of the main producers of electric tools due to its relatively low production cost advantage. With the gradual maturity of battery charging technology, electric tools began to move from convert corded too cordless.

     Electric tool is powered by electric machine or electric magnet. A mechanized tool that drives the working head through a transmission mechanism can greatly reduce labor intensity, improve work efficiency, and realize manual operation mechanization. Electric tools, which is an important part of tool in manufacturing industry, are commonly used in aerospace, high-speed rail construction, shipbuilding, automobile, mold manufacturing and other equipment manufacturing fields.

     They are roughly divided into few categories: medium electric drills, electric grinders, electric saws, sanders, and impact wrenches. Also, they are separated into three levels: industrial, professional, and general.

     Since old-style electric tools can hardly satisfy intelligence factories and smart production requirements, smart electric tools will bring a new alternative trend, causing the rapid development of the whole industry. Professional product is the most common type, having widest market but is also the most competitive field in the electric tool industry. It emphasizes the adaptability to the complex family environment and the stability on working state, aiming itself at the construction industry, plumbing industry, and home improvement industry. Industrial grade tools, although having high precision, long working life, high technical content, and stable working condition, has the highest price. Most of the target customers will be professional factories or engineering construction.
