Industrial PC in Taiwan

An Industrial PC (IPC) is an x86 PC-based computing platform for industrial applications. Taiwan became a well-known personal computer maker worldwide beginning in the 1980s. The IPC industry in Taiwan also began during this period.

Competitive Advantage

The competitive advantages of the Taiwan IPC industry are quick response, short delivery time, customized service, cost and location, as Taiwan is very close to electronic component (IC, panel, PCB, etc.) suppliers. This cluster effect is also a distinctive feature of the Taiwan IPC industry.

For those reasons, IPC manufacturers in Taiwan have very strong competitive capacity compared with their counterparts in North America, Europe and Asia.
