It has been more than 20 years since IPC entered the Chinese mainland market in the 1990s. During the period, the development of the industrial computer market was not smooth sailing. Different voices such as development, experimentation, acceptance, approval, criticism, and advancement were always heard. "The industrial computer system is unstable", "The industrial computer can only be used for monitoring, not for control", etc. Some negative and preconceived impressions have always lingered in the minds of many engineers and technicians and never dissipated. The statement "IPC is the premature baby in the field of industrial automation" has also been accepted and recognized by many people.
However, with the rapid development of computer technology and automation technology, the overall automation and informatization level of China's economy and society is also accelerating. As a product that integrates computer technology and automation technology, the industrial computer itself has made great technological progress in recent years. In particular, the rise of the cloud computing industry wave in the past two years has once again made embedded products such as industrial computers gain a huge opportunity for development.
In addition to the continuous improvement of industrial computer technology and the substantial increase in market recognition, industrial computer applications are very extensive, which is also an important reason for the growing prosperity of the industrial computer industry. In addition to the rapid development of traditional power, metallurgy, petrochemical, environmental protection, transportation, construction and other industries, some emerging application markets continue to emerge, such as digital TV, bank teller machines, highway toll systems, gas station management, manufacturing production line control, financial , government, defense and other industries, and showing a trend of rapid growth. The integration of multiple technologies into the main trend of industrial computer technology development!
With the diversification of market demands, only providing products can not fully meet the needs of customers. Moreover, there may only be hundreds or thousands of units for applications in a specific field. In the future, industrial computer technology will definitely develop in the direction of customization. This requires enterprises to bring continuous application improvement to users on the basis of in-depth understanding of industry needs
