  1. Cut dust out of the equation – Dust is as inevitable as taxes. To the naked eye, you could have the cleanest manufacturing floor in the world, but dig deeper – especially around your computers – dust is silently doing damage to those workplace computers you depend on.
  2. Cut heat out of the equation – Running an 'office' computer all day, every day in an unorthodox environment – like a manufacturing floor – will take its toll. Computers need to 'breathe' and equally they need to be kept cool.
  3. Cut liquids out of the equation – Some, not all manufacturing floors use liquids on a day-to-day basis, whether it's water for clean down processes or paint used by paint sprayers. The fact is, liquids and electronics don't mix.
  4. Cut cold out of the equation – Just like excessive heat, the cold has a severe effect on computer components and some sectors of manufacturing have cold storage facilities on site. Yes, some manufacturing and industrial firms have been known to use computers in such cold-zones.
  5. The crucial key – introduce computer enclosures – The master key - that will ultimately improve manufacturing productivity across your plant – is to introduce computer enclosures into the mix.
  Enclosures on the other hand give you the option to keep your current computer system, which saves you time, saves you money and avoids the need to train staff. Additionally, you're not tied into any contracts, you can replace or upgrade equipment at your convenience.
  To give your manufacturing floor the computer protection it needs, familiarize yourself with productivity improving computer enclosures.
