Process GC vs. Lab-Adapted GCs

Process GC
✓ Embedded real-time OS. No Windows updates. 99.9% uptime.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Windows PC + workstation. Patch cycles, driver conflicts.
Process GC
✓ Industrial-grade electronics, -40°C to +70°C rated.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Lab chassis inside cabinet. Consumer-grade PCBs.
Process GC
✓ Certified flameproof/pressurized from ground up.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Retrofitted enclosures or external purge systems.
Process GC
✓ Built for continuous process streams, 8760 hrs/year.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Batch-oriented; thermal cycling wears components.
Process GC
✓ Native Modbus, Profibus, FF, OPC UA, 4-20mA.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ PC-based export or third-party converters.
Process GC
✓ Built-in IoT platform, remote diagnostics, predictive alerts.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Remote desktop to Windows PC (security risk).
Process GC
✓ One method file runs on process, lab, and portable units.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Separate software platforms, incompatible method files.
Process GC
✓ Modular swap: detector, oven, EPC field-replaceable in <30 min.
Lab-Adapted GCs
✗ Send to service depot or wait for specialized engineer.
