IPC is the product of the combination of computer technology and automatic control technology. It is not only an important category of computers, but also an important technical means to realize industrial production, achieve high quality, high output, low consumption, and improve the economic benefits of industrial enterprises. The development of industrial computer is of great significance to realize industrial modernization, promote industrial informatization and revitalize the economy.
Industrial computer is an industrial control computer, abbreviated as IPC in English. It is a general term for tools that use a bus structure to detect and control the production process, electromechanical equipment, and process equipment. Industrial personal computers have important computer attributes and characteristics, such as computer CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, as well as operating systems, control networks and protocols, computing power, and friendly human-machine interface.
The status quo of the industrial computer industry
Industrial computer market distribution
At present, the domestic IPC supply channels mainly come from manufacturers in Taiwan and mainland China. After several years of market struggle, foreign products (such as RADISYS, ROCKWELL, INTEL, etc.) Completely withdraw from the domestic market. At present, domestic industrial RD and processing technologies are constantly improving; various chips, various devices, and production equipment can basically be purchased equally in the international market; the portability of software resources can save a lot of manpower and material resources. Under these favorable conditions, some domestic manufacturers seized the opportunity to rise rapidly and gradually squeezed foreign countries out of the domestic industrial control market by taking advantage of their local comprehensive competitive advantages. Some companies have established themselves in the domestic industrial control market with an annual asset growth rate exceeding that of them, and have successfully entered the international industrial control market.
The products and technologies of the industrial computer industry are very special and belong to intermediate products, which provide reliable, embedded and intelligent industrial computers for other industries. With the continuous deepening of social informatization, the key tasks of key industries will increasingly rely on industrial computers, while low-cost industrial control automation based on IPC is becoming the mainstream, and local industrial computer manufacturers have also received attention. taller and taller. With the rapid development of electric power, petrochemical, transportation, construction and other industries, from digital home set-top boxes, digital, to bank teller machines, highway toll systems, gas station management, manufacturing production line control, government, national defense and other industries The demand for informatization continues to increase, and the demand for industrial computers is very large, and the development prospects of the industrial computer market are very broad.
In recent years, FCS, DCS, IPC, NC and various embedded control devices are developing rapidly in the world. The market scale is growing at a rate of 10 percent to 15 percent per year, and my country's development speed is even in the forefront of the world. , At present, the market size of my country's industrial computer is about 20 billion yuan.
