Stainless steel front bezel panel PC

January 2007 Industrial Computer Hardware

Advantech's PPC-158T panel PC is ideal for use in environments that require a high level of cleanliness. The PPC-158T is equipped with a stainless steel front bezel as standard. This makes it suitable for chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, petrochemical plants, kitchens in restaurants, and many other environments.

Speakers and OSD functions are also available as standard, but can be optionally removed at the customer's request. A choice of resistive and capacitive touchscreens is available. Flexible mounting methods such as panel, wall, swing arm, and desktop stand accessories are also available as optional accessories.

Customer logos and colouring can also be applied to the PPC-158T, using Advantech customisation services. OEM/ODM customers are welcome to request minor changes such as different peripheral device configurations for new projects. Advantech not only provides hardware platforms, but also works with third parties to customise mechanical designs or software to provide a total solution for the customer. Whole panel PC waterproofing is a prime consideration when operating in harsh environments, so the PPC-158T can be put into a different chassis or enclosure to ensure this protection.

Advantech is represented locally by ProMicro.
