Industrial touchscreen panel computers are a very popular device used in automated factories and production halls whether for food or pharmaceuticals. However, there are still many plants on the market that use commercial outdated solutions and traditional computers equipped with a keyboard and mouse. More often than not, commercial computers are less powerful, have less computing power and are more prone to crashing and breaking down.
Additionally, they are not designed to work in extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures or places with high humidity. Deciding to automate your plant in the long run, a better solution is to invest and use industrial-type panel computers. Installing them will allow you to expand production, save time and, above all, money. See all the advantages of industrial panel computers:
Performance
When using a touch-screen panel computer, employee productivity is increased, and the risk of making an error, such as during data entry, is reduced. An employee using a touch screen does not look away from it while looking at the keyboard, which reduces the risk of incorrect data entry.
Universality
Panel mount computers can be placed almost anywhere. They can be integrated into equipment and machines or walls and control panels. The Panel-Mount Industrial Computers benefit from software that can be upgraded as needed, allowing them to perform more complex tasks if the application requires it.
Durability
Industrial touchscreen panel computers are durable, resistant to vibration, shock and heavy use. This is especially important if a single device will be used by multiple workers. Their sealed enclosures ensure that dirt does not get inside and they are protected from flooding, which significantly affects their lifespan.
Easy cleaning
Because many work environments are not the cleanest, panel PCs are designed to be wiped down with water or cleaning products. Most have an IP65-rated front bezel, which means the screen is dustproof and waterproof. Panel computers with an IP69K rating are also available. This is the highest waterproof rating to date, which means that the computer in its entirety can be flooded and its use will not be affected. Using the touchscreen eliminates the need for a keyboard or mouse. These two components are particularly susceptible to dirt and dust accumulation, and difficult to clean. Therefore, a panel computer is a much more hygienic solution.
Fanless cooling
Industrial touchscreen PCs are typically equipped with fanless cooling systems that protect the device from sucking in dust that can damage internal components. Eliminating this common problem significantly improves the life of the hardware.
Simplicity
Depending on the application and software, only those functions that are completely necessary can be displayed on the computer screen. If necessary, the keyboard interface can be placed on the screen to further consolidate process functions. This also increases productivity in a distracting environment.
