An industrial computer is a computer designed for industrial purposes (production of goods and services), with a form factor between a net top and a rack of servers. Industrial computers have higher standards of reliability and precision, and are more expensive than consumer electronics generally. It is designed to operate in extreme environments, such as high temperature, humidity, and aggressive dust fluctuations. Industrial computers are mostly used in industrial automation, aerospace, transportation, solar power, and wind generators. The primary consideration is consistent and efficient performance in challenging environments delivered by these computers, since they can operate within the range from — 40 ° C to +80 ° C. Industrial PCs consume low power because they operate on batteries such as nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, or other sources of renewable energy such as solar power or wind power.

COVID-19 scenario Analysis: 

• Global industrial computers market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which, in turn, have led to decline in demand for analog semiconductors. 
• Global factories have struggled to integrate new industrial computers as workers have stayed in their homes, which disrupted the global supply chains. 
• The impact of COVID-19 on this market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains, and demand for industrial computers are gradually going to increase.  
• This COVID-19 lockdown would help companies think about more advanced industrial computers to enhance efficiency.
