IP67 Embedded Systems | Tightly Sealed Waterproof And Dustproof Industrial Computers

      Edge computing is when embedded systems are deployed to process data locally at the source of data generation in real-time. Industrial and outdoor deployments pose new challenges where devices aren’t only required to have powerful compute power, but also need to withstand extreme environments. Extreme environments can involve high heat, low heat, hard shock, constant vibration, water exposure, and dust exposure. For standard desktop computers, water and dust exposure are among the most threatening factors capable of causing instant failures and permanent damage. Therefore, for outdoor deployments, organizations should consider only deploying IP-rated embedded computers, such as an IP 67 embedded system to ensure reliability, durability, and longevity against extreme water and tiny dust particle exposure. Furthermore, in this blog post, we are going to discuss some options to tackle the water and dust particles problem and explain how IP67 embedded systems strive for outdoor industrial deployments.

1. TPM2.0 Features

TPM standards ensure secure data storage, as well as platform authentication and integrity auditing. TPM 2.0’s three hierarchies permit multiple root keys for improved security over TPM 1.2 standards. This provides better resistance to malware and rogue applications affecting legitimate processes.

u Safeguards data with a secure hardware-integrated algorithm

u Protects against hackers, malware and physical theft

u Resists brute force decryption attack

u Generates quality random numbers

u Provides support for encryption in the platform

u Establishes platform identities

u Store keys and data

u Signs and verifies digital signatures

u Audits key usage and data access

IP67 extreme rugged industrial PCs aren’t just equipped with tight ingress protection, they are also rugged in other areas to provide an all-in-one solution for industrial application deployments amid extreme environments.

2. Wide Temperature

      Due to the high-conductive heatsinks and one-piece chassis that work as a heatsink, IP67 embedded PCs are able to perform within the extreme cold and hot environment ranging from freezing -20℃ up to scorching hot 70℃ environments while maintaining their tight IP67 sealing.

3. Shock And Vibration Resistance

      IP67 rugged industrial PCs are also resistant to tough shocks and constant vibrations that comply and even surpasses the MIL-STD-810G standards for shock and vibration resistance. IP67 extreme industrial computers are capable of sustaining 50Gs of shock, Half sine, 11ms (with SSD) for shock, and 5 Grms of vibration, 5-500Hz, 0.5hr/axis (with SSD) for vibration. Thanks to their fanless design, cable-less design, one-piece design, and industrial-grade parts, IP67 industrial PCs are extremely tough.

4. Power Protection

When embedding IP67 computers to an external system, having the ability to control voltage inputs is essential in prolonging the hardware longevity. High IP rating embedded systems are equipped with OVP (over-voltage protection), OCP (over current protection), and a wide range of voltage power input. The OVP feature will automatically cut power input more than 40V to avoid burning the internal components and the systems are compatible with inputs ranging from 9V up to 48V for deployments in different applications. Moreover, the power ignition management systems make the system very versatile for deployments in the automotive industry.

5. Easy Installation And User Friendly

IP67 rated rugged computers are configured with wall mounts to make them universally available to be mount in any configuration possible. Additionally, with a one-piece design, IP67 embedded systems can be easily disassembled and adjusted without any special equipment.

Real Applications Of IP67 Computers

       High IP rated computers are best used to tackle constant exposure to water and dirt that might compromise the device's performance if they are not properly sealed. Industries such as mining, automotive, food manufacturing, beverage processing, healthcare, outdoor kiosks, and more are constantly facing dust exposure, heavy rains, and extreme washdowns. This is why you need a tightly sealed IP67 embedded system for your edge applications.
