An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in April 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of HMI & industrial PCs among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
When respondents specify a PC the majority (59.3%) indicated they normally choose ruggedized industrial PCs for all or part of their machine control. 24.4% choose "White box" PCs, while 16.3% choose an embedded PC.
