Industrial Personal Computer(IPC), also known as industrial control computers, are a general term for tools that use a bus structure to detect and control production processes and electromechanical equipment and process equipment. The use rate of industrial control machines is quite high in our country, and many industrial automation needs to be used. So, what is the current situation of the developing countries IPC market? What are the development prospects?

IPC have important computer attributes and characteristics, such as having an IPC CPU, hard disk, memory, interface, and an operating system, control network and protocols, computing power, and a friendly human-machine interface.

The products and technologies of the industrial control industry are a very special category, belonging to the intermediate products inside the developing countries industrial control machine market, providing reliable, embedded and intelligent industrial computers for various other industries.

With the deepening of social informatization, key tasks in key industries will rely more and more on IPC, based on the low cost of IPC, which have become the mainstream of industrial control automation, and local industrial control machine manufacturers are receiving more and more attention.

At present, IPC are still based on continuous production, decentralised objects and large systems, and decentralised control systems with distributed system structures are still being developed. The development of open architecture and integration technology has led to an increase in sales of large decentralised control systems, also known as fanless embedded IPC. 

Due to the development of standardised data communication lines and communication networks, various single multi-loop regulators, PLCs, industrial ratios, NCs and other industrial control devices are integrated into one large system to meet the requirements of factory automation.

What is the current state of the developing countries IPC market? With the rapid development of electric power, governance, transportation, construction and other industries, from digital home with digital TV, to bank teller machines, highway toll systems, manufacturing production line control, finance, government and other industries with increasing demand for information technology, the demand for IPC is increasing by the zhejiang, industrial control machine market development prospects are very extensive.

With the progress of technology, as well as the maturity of the market and users, in the new situation, the industrial control machine market presents new development trends. 

First, customized products make the market of general-purpose products challenged. In addition to technical breakthroughs, in recent years more and more IPC manufacturers began to pay more attention to customer needs, to provide customers with customized services and products, and constantly launch industry-specific products and solutions to meet customer needs, more attention to application needs. Our company provides customized services for customers to meet their special requirements.

Second, the application industry to achieve a breakthrough. From the viewpoint of the industry of IPC applications, in the past the advantages of traditional industries such as metallurgy, electric power, petrochemicals, etc. gradually fallen at the same time, some emerging application markets are emerging, such as finance, medical, intelligent transportation, self-service terminals, etc.. At the same time, the Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent life, intelligent agriculture, automotive networking, big data, cloud computing and other emerging applications to generate a large number of incremental market, industrial control machine market there is another growth point: "According to the standards of developed countries such as Japan, Germany, the industrialization, information technology, digitalization, intelligent level of developing countries also has great room for improvement, the existing The stock market needs to be upgraded, these are the future growth points of the industrial control machine market."

Thirdly, the change of sales model and strategy. In recent years, in order to adapt to the development of the market, some IPC manufacturers have changed the original sales channels and models, direct sales distribution of sales strategy to adjust. Our company in order to adapt to the market, direct sales for the global, while the development of a strong dealer.

Fourth, the prospect of Embedded PC is promising. Embedded PC is a kind of reinforced and enhanced industrial computer, which can be used as an industrial controller to operate reliably in the industrial environment. Due to the reliable performance of Embedded PC, fanless structure, compact size, easy maintenance, and increasingly widely used in IPC. Our Box PC and Embedded Computer series are particularly suitable for customers with such requirements.

The reason why Embedded IPC have become a hotspot is that customers in certain fields are constrained by the use of environmental and space limitations and must choose such products; the second is that the current embedded IPC form factor and expansion interfaces are designed as non-standard products, which are customised to develop product features. Customized products are not as direct configuration and price transparency as standard IPC products, so more manufacturers push this type of product development.

In the future, Embedded PC will have great market advantages, especially the current low-power x86 architecture products already have very good performance, can meet most of the technical requirements of the industrial field customer applications, and now and in the future more industrial automation products to introduce industrial field bus communication function, so this for Embedded PC in the expansion of the board defects bring the application of space or The effectiveness of complementary strengths and weaknesses. And with the expansion of the application field, the customer group increases, embedded PC will be deeper and more detailed industry customization development, and even industry-specific Embedded PC system products become mainstream, which contains special hardware and special industry software, etc.
