The agricultural industry plays a big role in keeping our society healthy. This field provides us with food, feed for livestock, and even pharmaceutical ingredients. As an IT specialist, it’s your job to keep electronics running efficiently to meet demand. Whether you work for crop growers, grain elevators, country elevators, procurement stations, feed mills, crop or grain processing facilities, packaging facilities, fertilizer plants, feed lots, feed yards, dairies, or cattle operations, you need to protect your company’s computers and label printers. Grimy dirt and debris like grain dust, animal hair, and feathers can send your computers and label printers into an early retirement. Luckily, it’s easy to keep electronics safe from the environmental hazards in the agricultural industry using DustShield’s trustworthy enclosures.
Label printers fulfill an important task in the agricultural industry. Operators rely heavily on barcodes to scan and sort product, so it can be a major hassle and headache if a printer isn’t functioning properly. Microscopic particulate is a label printer’s worst nightmare. Tiny particles from dirt, animals, seed shells, and animal food can contaminate and destroy printheads, resulting in decreased print quality. Rather than purchasing multiple label printers, extend the life of your label printer with a high-quality enclosure.
In the agricultural industry, no one likes taking downtime due to a computer defect. Those same microscopic particles that can find their way into a label printer can also find their way into your computer and cause it to slow down significantly. When dust and other particles accumulate in a computer, they can also inflict issues on the hard drive.
In order to keep your computer and your farm safe, invest in a computer enclosure with a filter that keeps airborne contaminants away from your computer.
Dust doesn’t just impact label printers and the internal components of computers. Tiny, yet abrasive pieces of rocks and other materials can also land on your monitor display. When you go to wipe off an unprotected screen, if you look closely, you may notice scratches appearing over time. These scratches can add up and hinder you from properly reading the computer display. In addition, dust can even cause a shortage in the internal electronics of the screen, causing it to go dark. Fortunately, you can also protect a monitor with the right enclosure. Look for a monitor enclosure that can also stash away your keyboard and mouse to prevent any additional dust related issues with your electronics.
