Rugged Fixed Mount PC's

A fixed-mount rugged PC is designed to be mounted to something or on something and to stay there. Fixed-mount rugged PC's do not have internal batteries; therefore they cannot be carried around away from an AC outlet or a vehicle battery. There are two typical applications for a rugged fixed-mounted computer. One is in a factory or industrial environment where the rugged computer is mounted to the wall or to a piece of equipment for monitoring/control. The second typical application is when a rugged computer is needed in or on a vehicle or any mobile conveyance. Examples of this would be cars, trucks, semis, forklifts, tractors, backhoes, ATV's, cement mixers, aircraft, ships, barges, etc. Fixed-mount rugged PC's are typically ultra rugged, totally sealed and designed to run for many years without problems.
