Industry fit
Select the panel PC around the real application environment.
A reliable application project starts by matching enclosure, OS, I/O, touch type, mounting, and lifecycle plan to the field environment.
Industry pain points
- In factory automation projects, buyers often face unclear requirements for screen size, touch operation, software environment, and installation space.
- The wrong panel PC can create problems later: unstable communication, poor visibility, difficult mounting, overheating, cleaning risk, or weak lifecycle support.
- A strong solution needs to connect the working environment, operator workflow, I/O ports, OS, enclosure, certification, and sample plan.
Solution approach
Match the environment
Confirm dust, water, vibration, temperature, cleaning method, outdoor exposure, and installation position before choosing the enclosure.
Match the software
Choose Windows, Android, or Linux according to SCADA, MES, HMI, kiosk, inspection, warehouse, or custom terminal software.
Match the integration
Check LAN, COM, USB, RS485, power input, mounting drawing, cable direction, bracket, and certification requirements before sampling.

FAQ for this application
How do I choose between Windows, Android, and Linux panel PCs?
Choose Windows for SCADA, MES, vision software, and legacy industrial applications. Choose Android for terminals, kiosks, and simple UI workflows. Choose Linux when the project already has a Linux control stack or needs embedded customization.
What does IP65 mean for an industrial panel PC?
IP65 usually means dust protection and water jet protection for the rated area. Many panel PCs are IP65 on the front panel only, so buyers should confirm whether the requirement is front-only or full enclosure protection.
Can you provide stainless steel or waterproof panel PCs?
Yes. Stainless steel, waterproof, and washdown-ready designs can be discussed for food, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, outdoor, and wet-area applications.
Can you support medical panel PC projects?
We can discuss medical terminal requirements such as cleanable surface, fanless design, touch operation, mounting, and power adapter path. Exact medical certification needs must be confirmed case by case.
Do you provide CAD, 3D, or mounting drawings?
For suitable models, mechanical drawings, cutout drawings, and integration references can be prepared after the model and screen size are confirmed.
