We assemble all computers in ESD protected environment according to DIN-ISO 9001:2015 certified processes. All screws and wiring are checked and fixed by hand, and plug connections are locked in place using silicone. During the subsequent functional tests, all interfaces are checked and the system is then subjected to a load and functional test by means of a RunIn test lasting at least eight hours. Only systems that are one hundred percent reliable receive a qualified InoNet QM test report afterwards. Revision-maintained production documents, in which all components and each individual production step are listed transparently and without gaps, accompany every delivery.
In addition to safety level 1, level 2 includes a comprehensive package of measures for additional vibration protection in conjunction with additional test depth. Mounted jumpers are secured against falling off due to vibrations by means of electronic silicone. All cables are fixed tightly to prevent them from slipping due to external physical effects. Mounting screws are additionally sealed with threadlocker. All cables, including those that have their own fuse (e.g. fuse clip), are additionally siliconized. In addition, the entire wiring is provided with edge protection, if required. Special card holders fix the internal plug-in cards securely in the slots. The extended functional test includes a functional test, a continuous stress test of at least 14 hours and a final functional test.
In addition to the measures of security levels 1 and 2, all device components are tested even more closely and thoroughly, including our 12-hour burn-in test at up to 40°C environmental temperature. Further protective measures for the entire mechanical system, such as the application of Loctite 222 threadlocker, increase the robustness against physical external influences such as vibrations. When manufacturing embedded systems, we also perform temperature screening.
Building on fuse level 1, fuse level 2 and fuse level 3, each device is provided with further protective measures against shock and vibration. Among other things, all plugged-in elements such as SD cards, cables, plug-in cards and socketed components are individually fixed if there is no on-board securing aid in the chassis as standard. All mounting screws are sealed by using Loctite 243 threadlocker. Each unit is also subjected to a 24-hour burn-in test with ambient temperatures up to 50°C, as well as a certified high-voltage test.
We as a company have extremely high quality standards for the industrial computers we manufacture – because high quality is significantly decisive for high customer satisfaction and that is exactly our goal. For this reason, we carry out various test procedures with our industrial PCs as standard and put the systems through their paces.

You can find out more about quality management here:
We also take our time with our test procedures and fulfill your very individual requirements – no matter whether hardware provided by you is to be configured and installed in the system as well, or entire, customer-specific test procedures that we are to take over completely for you. This means less effort for you and much more time to focus on the important things.
Our CPU stress test under maximum memory utilization permanently takes the performance of each individual interface of the overall system to the performance limit, thus ensuring optimum suitability for industrial use. Depending on the customer’s request, we increase the duration of the stress test to the desired extent.
The Burn-In Test is an advanced continuous load test where you specify the desired duration and ambient temperature. Thus, the system is optimally prepared according to your individual quality requirements and environmental conditions at the place of use for the application in our climate chamber, under observation by our experts.
In the case of customer-supplied third-party cards, we are happy to include them in our various test procedures according to your requirements. Since the expansion cards are usually equipped with interfaces that fulfill an essential function in the context of the application, we take a close look at the functionality of the cards.
In accordance with the customer’s requirements, InoNet carries out specific climate tests of all devices and, of course, provides you with the climate test protocols afterwards upon request – for you, this means absolute transparency about the test process. This gives you the possibility to see exactly which temperature prevails at which load of the system and thus you can adjust the system exactly to your application and the ambient temperature.
Do you have special requirements for the functionality of individual hardware components? On request, we test all hardware components not only for pure functionality, but also for the operation you require. In this way, we respond 100% to your individual requirements and you can be sure that your application can ultimately be operated exactly as you wish.
