How to choose an Industrial PC - Mounting

Most industrial computers are not set up on a desk. They are located in challenging environments and have special mounting requirements. As discussed in a previous article, some businesses and applications are limited for space, so selecting the right mounting option is crucial. Before purchasing an Industrial PC, it is very important to understand where and how it will be mounted. 

There are multiple mounting options available divided into types and applications and dependant on the dimensions of the computer. For example, VESA mounting is a universal solution for almost all industrial utilisations, RAM ball mounting is a special standard for in-vehicle use and panel mounting is frequently for Panel PCs. Mounts can include wall, pole, tabletop, rail, rack, floor stand, swivel and adjustable. 

All these options provide a high level of flexibility when installing an Industrial Computer. Most manufacturers offer different mounting options for their products to ensure they can fit in the environment.
