The control cabinet is the most common device in mechanical equipment and automated production lines. For safety and centralized management, mechanical devices and most electrical components such as switches, instruments, protective devices, controllers, and auxiliary equipment are often concentrated in the control cabinet.

With the continuous development of manufacturing technology and driven by demand, control cabinets are evolving towards digitization, miniaturization, and intelligence, making the space inside the control cabinet increasingly precious.
Therefore, for many PC-based control applications, an industrial PC that is suitable for installation in control cabinets, flexible in configuration, and easy to operate is indispensable.
Today, let me introduce you to a high-performance industrial PC specifically designed for control cabinets—the newly launched UNO-3285C by Advantech.
