My company (a machinery builder) has been using IBM industrial computers for nearly 10 years. We initially chose these for reasons of name recognition, reliability, etc. We have continued to use them mainly because of their 3 year on-site warranty. We ship our equipment all over the world, and this has saved us many service trips over the years.
We are now in the market for a new supplier, and I would like to know which brands you have had success with. The configuration that we have been using includes a 19" monitor with touch interface. I think at this point we would
likely switch to an LCD display, and possibly an integrated computer/touch panel rather than a computer with separate monitor. We would like the
ability to have an internal JAZ drive and a CD-ROM, and built-in Ethernet would be a plus. We also need a slot for a PLC comm. Card (KT, ControlNet, Profibus, etc.) Other than that our specs are open.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
