PANEL PCS AND HMIS
The ruggedized industrial Panel PC is a versatile, cost-effective and compact system, offering a host of features that make it ideally suited as the interface between machine and operator in HMI (human machine interface) applications. The Blue Chip Technology Alpha range of industrial Panel PC's are IP65/NEMA4 rated and designed to be housed in a panel or enclosure creating a dust and waterproof barrier, essential in many industrial and commercial applications. All our Alpha Panel PC’s have touchscreen capability and there’s also a good selection of expansion options to suit individual customer requirements.
Available across a range of different sizes, performances and fanless configurations, the Alpha range suits a variety of implementations. Typical applications include machine control, thin clients, Point of Information kiosks (POI), Point of Sale (POS) and mobile computing in commercial vehicles. Product features include an anti-vibration design, extended temperature operating ranges, high brightness screens and an array of mounting options.. In addition, Alpha industrial Panel PCs support a good choice of operating systems including Windows®XP Pro, Windows®XP Embedded and Windows® CE.NET .
