Mvme5100 Increased equipment availability

Top functional requirements: availability and reliability
Edge computing solutions for the oil and gas sector are deployed in environments that are not conducive to typical desktop computers. Whether you’re placing them on an offshore oil rig or on an oil head in the Texas desert, you need a reliable solution to maximise the availability of your equipment, and the reliability of your IT is just as important as the reliability of your OTs. the Mvme5100 has PCs designed to meet the requirements of your next deployment. what are the key considerations that you need to know when deploying PCs at the edge? What are the key considerations you need to know when deploying PCs at the edge?

Oil and Gas Industry Environmental Considerations
To maximise equipment uptime, you need to consider the operating environment. Some common challenges are:

Wide operating temperatures: Deploying at the edge means dealing with temperature fluctuations at the production site. Commercial PCs may not boot up at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) and may overheat at temperatures around 80°F (27°C). They may also experience component failures over time due to hot or cold operating temperatures or large temperature fluctuations. the Mvme5100 has a ruggedised PC with operating temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F) and as high as 70°C (158°F).
Vibration/Shock: Mounting your PC directly on machinery? Typical off-the-shelf PCs with moving parts such as fans and HDDs can fail over time. the Mvme5100 fanless system contains no moving parts, which increases reliability. The systems in our Rugged product line are tested using IEC and MIL-STD procedures. Mvme5100 units are shock tested to 40G!
