Preventive Maintenance: How To Maintain Your Industrial PC?
All pieces of technology require maintenance, especially industrial computers that are similar to standard workstations but are suitable for harsh working environments. Make sure your industrial PC is still in good condition by conducting weekly or monthly maintenance!
Here are a few preventive maintenance tips for maintaining your fanless industrial PC.
1. INSPECT YOUR COMPUTER EVERY WEEK
The simplest way to see if your industrial PC is still in good condition is to uncover its exterior and check the insides for signs of dirt and dust. Whether it is dirty or not, wipe off any residue to ensure your computer is 100% spotless.
2. CHECK FOR UPDATES
Your software might have an update without you realising it. Check your computer’s software and see if there is any pending update. Updating your software will improve the performance of your industrial PC!
3. SCAN FOR MALWARE
Malware can attack your computer at any time, so it’s better to be safe than sorry by scanning your industrial PC for viruses. While you’re at it, use the latest firewall to protect your computer from malware.
4. UNINSTALL UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS
Your industrial workstation is exclusively for work. Avoid installing any unnecessary software that might affect the performance of your rugged industrial PC!
5. BACKUP YOUR FILES
If you can transfer valuable files to another hard drive, then do so. It will allow you to create more space in your industrial PC, allowing it to run more efficiently.
6. DELETE ANY JUNK
Your industrial PC might contain loads of junk that is only making it run slowly. Delete any useless files to give your computer more space.
Part of maintaining your computer is assembling it with high-quality components. If you wish to upgrade your workstation with a brand new industrial panel PC, contact Voltrium Systems and visit their website.
