Which Requirements Must Be Met for In-Vehicle Industrial Panel Computer Applications?

Functions of Industrial Panel Computers in the Automotive Industry

With the development of the times, the application of industrial panel computers is no longer limited to military and industrial sectors. Now, even the automotive industry needs customized industrial panel computers. However, as car systems have multiple functions, the requirements for customizing industrial panel computers are quite strict. An in-vehicle panel computer is used as a terminal in cars, replacing the functions of car navigation and media playback. More importantly, it provides data support, vehicle body information integration, operator operation records/instructions, and connects to the control room.

Requirements for Customizing In-Vehicle Industrial Panel Computers

Installation and Maintenance

Considering the different vehicle environments, wide coverage area, and complex user scenarios, industrial panel computers need to adapt to various scenes as much as possible. For example, supporting VESA75/100 standards, supporting RAM mounts, etc.

Display Requirements

As vehicles are used outdoors, unavoidable sunlight slanting or even direct exposure needs to be addressed by choosing high-quality industrial displays or structural designs to minimize such impacts.

Shock Resistance Requirements

All vehicles generate vibrations, which could be high acceleration with large amplitude or low acceleration with small amplitude depending on the user scenario.

Power Performance

In-vehicle industrial panel computers are generally powered directly by vehicle batteries. Due to various ignition states and the instantaneous impact and off-state of the battery, high-powered devices are required. Otherwise, it is easy to damage the equipment.

Overall Heat Dissipation

Due to dust and wind, fan configuration is generally not recommended. Meeting the requirements for fully sealed heat dissipation without adding additional heat dissipation holes is necessary.

Operating Environment

Most parts of China are located in subtropical and temperate zones with vast areas where vehicle temperature environments can range from -20 to 60 degrees Celsius, posing a challenge for industrial panel computers.

Electromagnetic Interference

The use of special vehicles is not limited to electrical equipment, especially police and medical vehicles. Non-compliant electromagnetic radiation can severely interfere with other devices, such as data transmission radios and medical high-precision physical monitoring devices.

Protection Level

According to different working environments, rain and dust are unavoidable. Meeting or reaching a certain IP level for qualified in-vehicle panel computers is a necessary condition.

Device Interfaces

The connection interfaces between the terminal and the vehicle are also important. Loosening can cause malfunctions in the in-vehicle industrial panel computer.
