NAICS 33411 Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing
(1997 and 2002)
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in
manufacturing computers and computer peripheral equipment.
Computers can be digital, analogue or hybrid. The most common type,
digital, are devices that can do all of the following: (1) store the
processing program or programs and the data immediately necessary for
the execution of the program; (2) be freely programmed in accordance
with the requirements of the user; (3) perform arithmetical
computations specified by the user; and (4) execute, without human
intervention, a processing program that requires the computer to
modify its execution, by logical decision, during the processing run.
Analogue computers are capable of simulating mathematical models and
comprise, at least, analogue, control and programming elements.
Peripherals are assemblies of components that are self-contained, but
designed for use with computers. For purposes of classification, a
peripheral must consist of more than a loaded circuit board.
Peripheral equipment may be installed inside or outside the
computer's housing. Important types of peripheral equipment are
input-output devices, such as monitors, keyboards, mice and joysticks;
storage devices, such as disk drives and CD-ROM readers; and printers.
"Dumb" computer terminals, automated teller machines
(ATM's), point-of-sale (POS) terminals and bar code scanners are
treated as peripheral equipment.
