The
Industrial Grade PC vs. Its Office Grade Counterpart
Why do I need an Industrial Grade PC?
By: Ed Boutiler,
President & CEO
STEALTH COMPUTER CORPORATION
Part 2:
Penny wise and desktop foolish!
In the era of the tight
budgets, and the focus on the bottom line, industry is willing to squeeze
any and all excess costs out of the day-to-day operations. What would
possess any sane engineer or purchasing agent to approve use of an office
grade computer in a hostile industrial environment? A trip down to the
local business warehouse or by calling a toll free number in a computer
magazine will save you big bucks right?
Desktop machines are wonderful things. They are very popular due to their
low cost and ease of use. When a commercial office grade PC is used in an
environment where the application can handle occasional downtimes it works
well. Not only is it cost effective but there is a multitude of expertise
out there to fix it or simply replace it with another until it is
repaired. For the average computer user who is writing a letter, balancing
a spreadsheet or surfing the Web a system crash or disk drive failure
although very irritating usually is not a crucial situation. You wear
different clothes when you work on the shop floor than you would in an
office. Desk top PC’s are about as inappropriate as wearing an Armani suit
on the shop floor. Its a matter of choosing the right tool for the job.
In an increasingly competitive world more companies are discovering that
computer downtime has become unacceptable and extremely costly. In recent
years the PC has become so integrated with daily business functions that
it could grind a companies operations to a halt. Mission critical
applications that fail cost companies substantially. Yet in spite of all
this many people tend to take these machines for granted. They are not
conscious of what happens to a business when the basis of its revenue
generation depends on computers that fail. While the cost of downtime
varies among manufacturers it is always expensive. When systems go down
they can stay down not only resulting in lost revenues but the loss of
data as well. In today’s world a company’s most valuable non-human
resource is its data.

FAQ- What is a NIT?
Industry standard reference for Brightness of LCD Monitors
A NIT is a measurement of light in candelas per meter square (Cd/m2)
For an LCD monitor it is brightness out of the front panel of the display.
A NIT is a good basic reference when comparing brightness from monitor to
monitor. Most desktop LCD’s or Notebook LCD’s have a brightness of 200 to
250 Nits. These standard LCD’s are not readable in direct or even indirect
sunlight as they become washed out.
How do I know how many NIT’s I require for my application?
Applications will vary depending on the location of the LCD and how much
ambient light is available that could cause the display to become washed
out or unreadable. As a rule of thumb; notebooks and desktop LCD’s which
are generally used in office light conditions are in the 200-250 nit
range. For indoor use with uncontrolled or indirect sunlight it is
recommended that a display of 500 – 900 nits be used. If the application
is outdoors or in direct sunlight then at least 1000 nits and up should be
considered.
