Rugged, IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof embedded computers

October 2026 Industrial Computer Hardware


The QBiX-WP waterproof embedded system range from Vepac Electronics is built inside a sealed aluminium chassis with M12 connectors. It operates in extreme temperatures and handles heavy dust or liquid immersion, making it ideal for harsh factory floors and outdoor installations.

Designed for harsh conditions such as chemical, food and beverage factories, outdoor digital signage, automation and robotic control, where systems face a constant threat of water splash and dust immersion, it offers IP67-rated protection with waterproof and dustproof capability across a wide operating temperature range of -20 to 80°C. The hermetic, rugged enclosure of extruded aluminium protects the system from corrosion, and the M12 connectors secure the cable connections.

• System size: 188 x 155 x 72 mm (W x D x H)

• Intel Atom x5-E3940 processor

• Dual-channel DDR3L, 2 x SO-DIMMs

• IP67 waterproof certification

• M12 and IP67 waterproof connectors
