An Industrial PC is a rugged computer designed for use in industrial settings, typically in manufacturing processes. These PCs are constructed with durable materials and components to enhance reliability and uptime. This means that they can withstand harsh environments and operate continuously, whereas a standard desktop PC might fail. They are capable of enduring challenging conditions like temperature fluctuations, dust, vibration, power surges, and noise.

There are several main types of industrial PCs, including panel IPC, rack mount IPC, box IPC, embedded IPC, din rail IPC, and others. Panel IPCs are utilized for tasks such as machine control, motion sequencing, display functions, data collection, and image processing. They come with various types of displays, including resistive and capacitive, and offer different storage options such as solid-state and rotating drives. These industrial PCs find applications in various industries, including automotive, healthcare, chemical, aerospace and defense, semiconductor and electronics, energy and power, oil and gas, among others. They are distributed through various sales channels, including direct sales and indirect sales.North America was the largest region in the industrial PC market in 2025.
