The traditional hardware market is increasingly saturated with severe product homogeneity, pushing the IPC industry into "red ocean competition". However, market data shows the IPC industry maintains steady growth, with industrial automation accounting for over 50% of the market and emerging sectors like construction/medical growing at a 5% annual rate. Guangzhou Chongchang, via its brand "Zhichun", proposes transforming from "single industrial computers" to "full-scenario intelligent terminals", emphasizing upgrades of industrial Android all-in-one panel PC and Panel PC Touchscreen 19 inch to seize opportunities.
Based on China Industrial Control Network data and experience in industrial touch panel and MES Hardware terminals, we analyze trends of Zhichun-led industrial intelligent terminals in product iteration and channel innovation over the next 5 years.
I. Product Side: "Stability"-Centric Technological & Intelligent Upgrades
IPC's core modules (storage, processor, display, peripherals) drive Zhichun's upgrades around "stability" and "intelligence", with six key trends:
1. Parallel x86 & Android Processor Platforms
x86 dominates high-performance devices like Celeron PCs 19 inch and 4U Rackmount PC without Touch Screen; android industrial pc gains traction in small size industrial Android tablet PC and 7 inch android all in one pc for low power consumption. Chongchang's dual R&D teams optimize Rugged Industrial 4U Rackmount Computer (x86) and develop scenario-adapted industrial Android panel PC.
2. Optimized Interface & Installation for Multi-Scenario Use
CPCI (high openness/reliability) leads in 11.6 Inch Industrial All-in-one PC for Production Line MES Terminal. Zhichun's VESA Mount Panel PC supports wall-mount/embedded setups; wall mountable all in one pc (wall hanging monitor) fits space-constrained areas, while panel mount computer integrates into control cabinets.
3. Storage/Display Upgrades for Harsh Environments
Zhichun adopts SSDs for all terminals. High Brightness Industrial Monitors and industrial sunlight readable outdoor panel pc solve outdoor visibility; 17 inch computer screen and 19 inch Industrial Rugged LCD Monitors (with 5-wire resistive touch screen monitor) meet precision needs. waterproof computer monitor is widely used in humid scenarios.
4. Narrow Bezel & Miniaturization for Portability
Industrial Touch Screen Monitor with 10mm Front Bezel (10mm Front Bezel Industrial Android Tablet PC/10mm Industrial Tablet PC) leads design. 11.6 inch panel PC and 12 inch industrial touch screen AIO Panel PC maximize display; small lcd screens enable mini devices like 7 inch industrial panel PC and 13.3 inch Industrial Panel PC. 500g industrial Android tablet PC is ideal for PC based MES terminal displays.
5. Remote Management & MES System Empowerment
All-in-One Android Panel PCs with NFC/Camera For MES System in Digital Factory 24/7 Use Factory (Zhichun's bestseller) integrates NFC (identity verification) and cameras (barcode scanning). Local AI upgrades it to MES Hardware terminals; remote management cuts All-in-one Panel PC for Medical Self-Service Kiosks Factory China's O&M time to minutes.
6. Vertical Industry Customization
Manufacturing: 15-inch industrial Android panel PC and 21.5 inch Industrial Panel PC enable MES-linked data visualization.
Medical: All-in-one Panel PC for Medical Self-Service Kiosks Factory China (anti-infection/silent) serves self-service scenarios.
Outdoor: industrial sunlight readable outdoor panel pc + large batteries support long operations.
Precision Control: open frame LCD panel PC acts as Laser cutting machine touch screens.
II. System Side: Zhichun's Hardware-Software Integration & Chongchang's Ecosystem
IPC makers shift from "hardware-heavy" to "hardware-software balance". Chongchang builds a "hardware+software+solutions" ecosystem with Zhichun:
1. Software Adaptation to Unlock Hardware Value
Zhichun pre-installs industrial OS (optimized for android industrial computer) for stable industrial all-in-one PCs operation. Standard MES interfaces reduce integration costs; remote O&M subscriptions (covering 2,000+ firms) cut failure rates by 30%.
2. Ecological Collaboration to Expand Verticals
Chongchang's "Zhichun Industry Partner Program" (with SIs) delivers tailored solutions:
Medical: All-in-one Panel PC for Medical Self-Service Kiosks Factory China enables full-process services.
Logistics: Inventory APP for small size industrial Android tablet PC realizes real-time stock updates. Zhichun evolves from "equipment supplier" to "digital service provider".
Ⅲ.Conclusion
Market saturation drives Zhichun's "product scenarioization" and "channel specialization". Chongchang upgrades terminals to "solution cores" via 10mm bezels, Android systems, and MES customization. For IPC makers, aligning innovation with industrial all-in-one PCs/MES Hardware terminals and enhancing services is key to sustainable growth in the "red ocean".
