Industrial Computers
Rugged industrial computers are purpose-built computing systems designed to operate reliably in harsh and demanding environments where standard commercial PCs are not suitable. These systems support industrial automation, edge computing, and data acquisition by providing stable processing performance under extreme temperatures, vibration, dust, and electrical noise. Industrial computers are commonly deployed in factory automation, transportation systems, energy infrastructure, and remote monitoring applications.
RSP Supply carries a full line of Moxa industrial computers engineered for mission-critical applications. Moxa’s fanless and compact designs reduce mechanical failure points while supporting extended temperature ranges and wide voltage inputs. Product families such as the MC and V series offer flexible I/O options including serial, Ethernet, USB, and wireless connectivity, allowing seamless integration with PLCs, sensors, controllers, and industrial networks.
These industrial computers are designed to function as edge gateways, enabling real-time data processing, protocol conversion, and secure connectivity to enterprise or cloud platforms. Support for embedded operating systems such as Linux and Windows IoT, along with compatibility for containerized software and development toolkits, provides flexibility for OEMs and system integrators. Features such as TPM security modules, dual LAN redundancy, and modular expansion help ensure long-term reliability, cybersecurity, and scalability in industrial automation systems.
