Industrial Computing is technology that are used in several industrial computers that are specifically made to function for different industries such as the medical industry. Industries need to use industrial computers because there are tasks that regular desktop computers cannot work efficiently with. Components for these industrial computing are different than desktop computers, they have more advanced technology. These components can be bought via the internet through an online store or they can be ordered by their manufacturers. Each component has a specific role for the features or functioning of the industrial computer.

RFID Readers is used on industrial computers. These readers are placed in the computers to transmit information from one reader to another. Depending on the ISO standard you are using, they will vary in distance to which information can be transmitted to at a limited distance. There are many different forms of RFID technology such as a reader (used for short or long distances), transponders (which comes in a form of cards, coins, wristbands and more) and of course the typical ISO standards.

The PCMCIA Reader is a type of PC card. They are primarily designed to be used on laptop computers. At first, the PCMCIA cards were made with the purpose of expanding memories in laptops, however these devices have now progressed into hard disks, modems and network cards. These are very useful for laptops because of their compact size, which is almost as small as a playing card. The PCMCIA card can easily be added into the laptop, there are usually slots on the side of the laptops where the card goes into. The ROHS version of the PCMCIA cards have many purposes, they can be useful for home banking, internet access, network security, identifying people, computer access control and many more. The express version of the PCMCIA card also have many purposes, which are the same as the ROHS version. They are slightly different because they are a bit more compact. When using these PCMCIA, they are simple to use because you do not need any technical knowledge for these to work.
