Waterproof industrial PCs: why choose Kimera Computers

Smartwatches, dinner jackets, boots, dog beds: you can find almost anything in waterproof version. Industrial PCs. too.

While it may seem rather unrealistic at first glance, waterproof industrial computers are built to withstand water, splashes and moisture, making them completely… waterproof. But in what contexts are they needed? What benefits do they bring?

In this article we’ll cover:

What are waterproof industrial PCs?

Waterproof industrial PCs are computers resistant to water, liquids, and humidity.

These particular PCs have a minimum IP65 degree of protection, which means that the connectors and all the various holes/slots in the case are sealed with a waterproof sheath, so that liquids or moisture cannot infiltrate inside.

Plus, with IP65 protection, computers are also fully protected against the intrusion of dust, sand and other particles.

In which industrial environments should waterproof PCs be used?

Waterproof PCs are designed (and recommended) for use in all those harsh environments where moisture or the presence of liquids is a constant. These may be contexts where jets of water or other chemicals are used for cleaning, outdoor environments and therefore subject to rain and humidity, premises exposed to water, and so on.

Some practical examples:

Food production
Industrial production
Chemical laboratory
Dam control room
Car washes
Boats

What are the advantages of waterproof industrial PCs from Kimera Computers

As with waterproof smartwatches, boots, and dog beds, the main advantage of waterproof industrial PCs is that you can use them in full operation without having to worry about them getting wet or ruined by water (or other liquids). In the case of waterproof dinner jackets, the dynamics are still not very clear to me; however, I wouldn’t dwell on it too much for the time being.

What I’d like to emphasise is that the water resistance of these PCs has at least 4 other advantages:

No need to set up special cabins or facilities to repair the PC from moisture or water;
No need to spend time or resources to replace PCs damaged by moisture or water;
No need to cover the PC with mummy-like cellophane to clean the work surface;
No need to seek assistance for mould inside the PC (yep, it’s a true story).

Using a waterproof computer allows you to ensure maximum productivity of your system without any worries, avoiding all the risks that come with using an IT device in the presence of water.
