In many industries, such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals, it is essential that all equipment is able to satisfy the most stringent cleanliness requirements.
Advantech has released a new fully sealed IP69K-rated stainless steel multi-touch panel PC for use in such applications.
The new 21.5” widescreen IPPC-5211WS touch-panel computer is the latest model to use the Intel Celeron J1900 Quad Core 2.0 GHz processor, and to feature the iDoor technology, a truly flat screen, and a multitude of lockable IO ports whilst being able to operate in a wide range of temperatures.
The IPPC-5211WS’s stainless steel corrosion-proof chassis and SGS-certified IP69K waterproofing make it possible to clean the computer externally using water, harsh detergents, and acidic/alkaline disinfectants with temperatures of up to 80OC and pressure of up to 30 Bar.
These qualities ensure that the IPPC-5211WS satisfies the stringent sanitation requirements of food manufacturing, clinical areas, and chemical or pharmaceutical laboratories, Advantech says.
The IPPC-5211WS uses regular connectors and a special clip for the USB port instead of the regular locked IO ports, and the ports are waterproofed when using a flange adaptor with an anchor point.
The optional flange adaptor, with Rittal specification connector, seals the IO ports from water ingress and allows the IPPC-5211WS to be attached to foot and arm systems for added flexibility.
With an Intel HD graphics processor and a display ratio of 16:9, providing 40% more screen area than 4:3 displays, these models are designed for displaying more graphics on the screen.
The truly flat and seamless design of the IPPC-5211WS provides easier maintenance and avoids mistouches even when wearing gloves.
As well as the Intel Celeron processor, the IPPC-5211WS also includes 4GB DDR3L SDRAM and can be used with a variety of Microsoft Windows operating systems and Advantech software applications such as WebAccess, Panel Express, and SUSIAccess.
