Industrial Computer means a computer used online in process control, production line control, and other production areas. Industrial computers are widely used in manufacturers 'field production lines, in hospitals' Order Communication Systems, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, schools and financial institutions.

1 is a photograph of a typical industrial PC used in a field production line of a manufacturer, and FIG. 2 is a photograph of a touch monitor connected to the industrial PC of FIG. 1.

In general, the manufacturer site is fixed by mounting the industrial PC (1) in the rack (Rack) (2) as shown in Figure 1, the touch monitor is mounted and used as shown in FIG.

If you use it like this, wiring work is complicated, and if a trouble occurs, it is troublesome to repair by each unit. In addition, the industrial PC has a built-in hard disk to generate a lot of noise, and due to the high heat generation, it is difficult to solve this heat problem with the cooling fan and the cooling circuit. Since industrial PCs are two to three times more expensive than thin clients, it is disadvantageous in terms of cost and efficiency to separately mount and use a touch monitor in an industrial PC as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

On the other hand, a thin client is a business PC designed to be managed centrally by eliminating hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, expansion slots, and other essential devices, unlike general PCs. Thin clients start with the fact that small computers on the network tend to act as clients of local area networks or other servers.

The term thin client is used for both net and network computers. NetPC is based on Intel microprocessors and Windows operating systems, and network computers are backed by Oracle and Sun Microsystems, and they use many JAVA-based operating systems.

Thin clients are currently being used as a substitute for manufacturing sites or general office PCs, and are responding to the demand for low-cost PCs dedicated to specific tasks. Increasingly, more and more sites are using thin clients to replace equipment-specific data collection work performed with industrial PCs in the past, and applying the thin client to all equipment in the assembly process. Thin client power consumption is roughly 10% of that of a typical industrial PC, reducing the company's electricity bill.

While fully utilizing the advantages of the thin client, there is a need for optimizing the combination with the touch screen to reduce the space occupied in the manufacturing site, to solve the heat problem and power consumption problem, and to implement the convenience of construction and management. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, in particular, it is possible to minimize the installation space and flexible installation according to the environment of the workplace, to create a pleasant workplace environment by minimizing noise and realizing low heat and low power Not only that, but also to provide a thin client system with integrated touch monitor that can be used in various fields such as manufacturing sites, hospitals and schools.

In order to achieve the above object, a touch monitor integrated thin client system according to the present invention includes a touch monitor; And a thin client integrally coupled to the rear of the touch monitor.

In addition, the thin client may be provided with two or more LAN ports, wireless WiFi, and five or more USB ports.

In addition, the thin client includes an embedded operating system (OS) without a hard disk and collects process-specific data in real time by accessing a server.

In addition, the thin client may be equipped with an embedded OS recovery system to automatically recover data by automatically backing up data from the server when an error occurs in the embedded OS.

According to the present invention, since the touch monitor is integrated into the thin client and manufactured with one piece of hardware, installation space can be minimized, flexible installation is possible according to the environment of the workplace, and there is no need to install a cooling fan because there is no heat generation. Since it minimizes noise and realizes low heat and low power, it can not only create a pleasant workplace environment, but also can be used in various fields such as manufacturing sites, hospitals, and schools because it is easy to build and manage.
