Motorcycle Factory Optimizes Production Line with NISE 3900E-H310 Fanless Industrial PC

1. Overview

A motorcycle manufacturing plant in Vietnam — a leading scooter production facility in Asia — has optimized its production line using the fanless industrial computer, NISE 3900E-H310.

The automation line operates continuously 24/7, requiring control equipment with high stability, long lifespan, and good resistance to heat, dust, and vibration. Previously, the system used fan-based industrial PCs for control cabinets and production line monitoring stations. However, after some time in operation, these devices frequently encountered issues such as:

Dust accumulation on the cooling fan, reducing cooling efficiency.
Overheating CPUs causing system freezes and PLC disconnections.
Increased maintenance and replacement costs.

To resolve these issues, ICOMTECK proposed a solution to replace the old equipment with the fanless industrial PC model NISE 3900E-H310 from NEXCOM for the motor assembly and quality testing areas.

2. Challenges Before the Upgrade

The factory's harsh operating environment posed several challenges:

High temperatures inside the control cabinets.
Metal dust and industrial oils easily infiltrating the cooling fans.
Vibration from pressing, welding, and assembly lines affecting mechanical components.

Common failures such as CPU overheating, hard drive (HDD) failure, and disconnections between HMI/PLC directly impacted the production line's performance, especially in the final testing area, where even a few minutes of downtime can cause significant losses.

3. ICOMTECK's Solution: NISE 3900E-H310

The NISE 3900E-H310 is a fanless industrial computer from NEXCOM, designed to operate in harsh industrial environments.

*Key Features:

Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 (Coffee Lake, Socket LGA1151)
Supports DDR4 RAM up to 32GB
2x Intel GbE LAN, 4x COM, 4x USB 3.1, 2x USB 2.0, HDMI + DVI-D, 2 antenna connectors
Wide input voltage range: 9–30V DC, suitable for industrial power sources
Operating temperature: -5°C to 55°C
Fanless design with passive heat dissipation
Easy integration

Why is NISE 3900E-H310 superior?

The 8th generation Intel® Core™ CPU delivers 30% higher performance compared to the 6th generation, enabling smooth operation of SCADA, MES, ERP Gateway software; supports simultaneous connections with multiple I/O devices via COM, LAN.
Fanless design with passive heat dissipation minimizes dust intrusion and reduces the need for maintenance.
The aluminum heat sink is cast as a single piece, directly transferring heat from the CPU to the outer casing.
Industrial-grade components such as solid-state capacitors and SSDs, reducing the impact of shock and vibration.
Industrial ECC RAM reduces memory errors.
The DC 9–30V power supply ensures safety with voltage fluctuations, ideal for environments with compressors, robots, and large motors.
