Quotes & delivery
How long does it usually take to receive industrial computers after ordering? How do we avoid project delays?

Lead time varies by model and by period, so it can only be confirmed in a specific quotation. Generally there are three cases:
1. Models in local stock: the fastest delivery.
2. Standard models not in stock: ordered from the vendor, with timing dependent on production schedules and international shipping.
3. Custom configurations (CPU, RAM, modules, special temperature ranges) or large quantities: usually longer, because the vendor builds and tests to order.
To avoid project delays:
1. Ask for lead time when requesting the quote, and have it stated in the quotation.
2. Fix the configuration early; every model change restarts the clock.
3. Keep one or two functionally equivalent alternatives in case the main model is short.
4. For multi-unit projects, consider taking one sample unit first for software development, with the rest delivered later.
5. Allow time for setup and testing before going to site.
