Since its creation, the computer and its appearance have evolved a lot. Today, there are several types of computers, including the panel PC. What is that ? What are its characteristics ? What is its use? Discover all this information in this article.
The Panel PC: an industrial computer
This is a computer that is most often used in the field of industry. It is incorporated with a touch screen monitor, which makes it easier to handle.
It is equipped with only a few connection wires, which make its installation easy. Far from being imposing as one might think, the panel PC is an ultra modern device. It has a high level of ergonomics, performance and reliability that makes it the best industrial computer of its generation. It is also used in stations and monitoring rooms.
We then find it everywhere on a daily basis without paying attention to it. If you need to equip your company, do not hesitate to choose an industrial panel PC to meet your needs in terms of computer hardware.
Unusual characteristics
Given its use in industry, the panel PC is a particularly resistant computer. This characteristic allows it to adapt to the most extreme industrial environments without deteriorating. Indeed, it can be installed near a high temperature point such as an oven without risking damage. It is also designed for low temperature environments to some extent. Also, there are panel PC models that are waterproof and dustproof. Other models are capable of withstanding significant vibrations and thus adapt perfectly to an industrial production building.
The panel PC is more robust than traditional computers, making it an unusual computer. It can also be called “Rugged Panel PC” because of its characteristics adapted to extreme environments.
A utility that depends on its materials
Usable both indoors and outdoors, the use made of the panel PC varies according to its manufacturing materials. We choose a panel PC designed in aluminum or stainless steel when this industrial computer is likely to receive splashes of water during its use. Rust is thus avoided. Also, when maintaining or cleaning a stainless steel panel PC, the risk of corrosion is considerably reduced following the use of a detergent. Thanks to its touch screen with resistive technology, it can be used with or without gloves. This makes it an all-terrain computer that can be used anywhere.
Functions
The power of the panel PC gives it some very interesting features. It thus makes it possible to obtain real-time data, to operate the IP camera and to access 2D or 3D videos. This device can be compatible with many operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Ubuntu or Google Android. In addition, its energy consumption is relatively low. It is therefore an industrial computer that fits into a dynamic of reducing the carbon footprint. The panel PC is a modern, high-performance tool that meets specific needs in industry.
