The use of printed circuit boards in the industrial sector varies greatly. Electronic components power many equipment in manufacturing and distribution centers and other types of industrial facilities.
PCBs used in the industrial field usually require extremely high power and are durable enough to withstand the harsh conditions that exist in industrial facilities. PCBs may require rough handling, machinery that resists vibration, extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. In order to meet this need for durability, industrial PCBs can be made of durable metals or heat-resistant materials, and are thicker than other types of PCBs. Industrial PCB assembly services may include through-hole technology to improve durability.

Some industrial applications of PCB include:
Manufacturing equipment: PCB-based electronic power drills and presses for manufacturing.
Power supply equipment: PCBs are used for components that supply power to many types of industrial equipment. The power equipment includes DC to AC power inverters, solar cogeneration equipment, etc.
Measuring equipment: PCBs usually power equipment that measures and controls pressure, temperature, and other factors.
With robotics, industrial Internet of Things technology and other types of advanced technologies becoming more and more common, new uses of PCBs have emerged in the industrial field.
