AIS Releases a Line of Stainless Steel Panel PCs Featuring the Fanless Intel Core2 Duo processor and IP65/NEMA Sealing for the Food & Beverage Industries

The system is designed for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or manufacturing execution system (MES) utilized in the food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

AIS´ stainless steel HMI touch panels are powered by the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.0 GHz processor, making it possible to integrate two complete execution cores in one physical package, providing advancements in simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multitasking environments. The system offers a wide range of high performance processing combined with low-power consumption fanless operation in a small form factor, ideal for embedded industrial control and automation environments.

A polished stainless steel front bezel allows for easy cleaning, meeting DIN EN 1672-2 standards for food processing machinery – safety and hygiene requirements. The AIS rugged touch panel PC´s are designed with EN 1.4301, DIN X5CrNi, SAE 304, and UNS S30400 grade stainless steel with anti-corrosive and chemical resistant touch screen for operator control and monitoring of food processing machines. The stainless steel chassis can be cleaned with chemicals and is designed for situations where sanitation is of highest priority. Currently the Rugged Touch screen Panel PCs are available in 15, 17, and 19. VESA standard mounting holes are available on every unit for easy deployment into any installation. Whether your application requires a commercial off the shelf (COTS) unit, or a fully customized Weatherproof Panel PC, AIS has the flexibility to meet your requirement.
