Industrial computing systems from a Russian manufacturer

Specialized Solutions FRONT MAN in their own way technical specifications not inferior to modern high performance PC and often exceed them. Computers are flexible and ready work in extremeconditions. Due to their features, the devices in demand in the harshest and most critical industries such as energy, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, oil and gas complex, at the objects of the military-industrial complex, ships of the river and sea fleet. Today, these industries continue to be highly dependent on foreign equipment. In recent years, many strategically important enterprises and industries have been equipped almost entirely with imported equipment. However, in the context of limited cooperation with European manufacturers and developed by the government of the Russian Federation import substitution programs, today in the industries there is a need for Russian manufacturers high-quality high-tech IT equipment, industrial computer And embedded systems. Branded products FRONT MAN designed to solve these problems.

"Computer of the Russian assembly" - this phrase can be heard more and more often in computer stores or in the markets of computer equipment. The number of Russian companies involved in assembling computers is quite large, and hardly anyone can even roughly name their number. Among these companies there are many small ones with 5-10 employees, and such giants that are rightfully considered brands of the Russian computer market.

Of course, it is pointless to compare large companies with small ones - both in terms of production volume and the quality of the service provided. It would seem, what, in fact, is the difference between a computer with the logo of some well-known company and a computer made within one or two hours somewhere in the back room of the Savelovsky market or just home assembly? Indeed, the components are the same, and the assembly process itself is quite simple: I plugged the processor and memory into the motherboard, connected the hard drive and CD-ROM, stuffed it all into the case - and it seems to be all. But this is a superficial view, or rather, the view of an amateur.

Naturally, among our readers there are specialists who can independently and at a high professional level assemble their own computer from individual components, which will be no worse than an industrial assembly device. And if necessary, they are able to find any problem and fix it on their own, even if you have to arm yourself with a soldering iron and an oscilloscope. But there are not so many such professionals. But what about ordinary users?

Assembling a computer from individual components is really not difficult, but not everyone can set it up correctly, find hidden defects and make it work correctly. And is it possible to be sure that such a computer works exactly as it should? And the constant and completely incomprehensible computer freezes - isn't this a by-product of such unprofessionalism? So what is the difference between handicraft and professional assembly of computers in a production environment? Where and how are the technological equipment of the company and the professionalism of its employees manifested? The creation of a computer begins with the design of its model. A serious company has dozens of models of desktop computers, which differ significantly in terms of parameters, functionality, and recommended applications. Design is the most important and responsible stage, consisting in the selection of components, the range of which is very diverse today. The choice of specific components, as well as their suppliers, largely determine the final consumer qualities of a future computer - performance, reliability and cost.

The balance of the PC also depends on the choice of individual components. In order to achieve a balanced system, all the components of a computer need to fit together in the best possible way. Compatibility of components is one of such problems, the successful solution of which is provided only by the vast experience and high professional level of technical specialists. Despite the fact that all component manufacturers declare this characteristic of their products, practice shows that they do not always solve this problem.

Large companies specializing in assembling computers can afford to have not only a technical department, but also test laboratories that are engaged in the exact selection of computer components depending on their positioning and cost, as well as checking their hardware compatibility with each other.

In addition, manufacturing companies have access to technical information that is inaccessible to mere mortals and primarily related to the compatibility between various components and how to achieve it.

After the PC model is designed, the turn of input control comes, which allows you to identify both individual components and entire batches that do not meet either the declared parameters or reliability requirements. It should be noted that, despite the highest technological level of production of leading component manufacturers, cases of rejection of components at the stage of incoming inspection are by no means rare. According to unofficial data, a batch of motherboards is considered to be of high quality if the defective rate is 10%, that is, every tenth motherboard has a defect (and now think about what motherboards come to computer markets from "gray" dealers!).

It should also be borne in mind that large computer assembly companies order the necessary components either directly or from reputable dealers of manufacturing companies. In this case, the possibility of supplying counterfeit and, accordingly, clearly low-quality components, which are a dime a dozen in our computer markets, is excluded. Naturally, when purchasing components at retail at your own peril and risk, even an experienced user may well stumble upon an ordinary fake or marriage.

After all components have passed quality control, the assembly stage begins. But even after assembly, the computer does not go on sale: the next stage is quality control of the finished product. It is gratifying that domestic computer manufacturers take this control seriously. So, many companies do not just check the performance of a computer by turning it on for five minutes, but test it for a day or two in stress mode, that is, various applications are emulated on the computer, and such tests are carried out in special thermal chambers at elevated temperatures. Only if the computer passed the test in such a "steam room" is it considered serviceable.

Important, especially for inexperienced users, is the availability of technical support from the manufacturer, and the possibility of free warranty repairs.

So, summing up the above, we can conclude that a modern computer is a structurally complex product that requires a professional approach at all stages - from the selection of components to the final testing of the finished product. That is why, especially if you have no experience with hardware, it is worth buying a computer from large companies whose logo is a guarantor of the quality of their product. We will talk about some of these companies in our article. In addition, based on the long-term cooperation of the ComputerPress test laboratory with these companies, we can responsibly declare that the products of these companies deserve the highest rating.
