Panel PCs: HMI display solutions for vending machines, home automation, industrial terminals and outdoor applications
Touch screen Panel PCs: ideal solutions for a perfect HMI
Today the demand for display solutions for HMI (Human Machine Interface) applications is constantly growing, driven by needs that vary from sector to sector (e.g. vending machines, home automation, industrial terminals, kiosks and outdoor displays) and that require extreme flexibility and ease of programming.CONSYSTEM, an electronic component distributor with thirty years of experience, meets these needs by offering a wide range of high-performance display and touch screen panel PC solutions, developed by leading companies in the sector and with numerous customization options.
Rugged Panel PCs, industrial PCs, compact industrial computers
Among the solutions offered, the panel PCs from Chipsee stand out – a company specializing in the production of products designed for a perfect HMI experience (in addition to panel PCs, the product portfolio also includes: industrial panel PCs, embedded PCs, monitors and SOMs).
The Chinese company’s panel PCs are available in sizes from 5” to 23.5”, are developed on ARM processors (Cortex A7, A8 and A9), Intel X86 and Raspberry PI4, and support Linux and Windows OS. Together, these elements ensure ease of implementation and adaptability of the device to different needs. They are also equipped with capacitive touch panels with 5 to 10 contact points and feature various interfaces available for external connectivity such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, RS232/485, LAN, USB, etc.
At the same time, Chipsee’s panel PCs are also ideal for applications in other areas: from Industry 4.0 to home automation, from mechanical processing to the automotive industry, all the way to vending machines, where the goal is to make purchasing increasingly simple, fast and convenient for the end user.
Displays and Panels for outdoor applications (EV chargers / advertising panels / kiosks)
Demand for high-brightness, waterproof and weather-resistant displays is steadily increasing.
The application areas are growing continuously (together with an ever-increasing need to display information and data, as well as communication and control interfaces/terminals): electric charging stations, smart metering, panels for IoT and home automation, advertising panels and kiosks…
Companies operating in this sector must provide solutions that allow high-quality images and videos to be displayed even in conditions of strong sunlight, rain and snow.
Consystem offers the solutions developed by ODhitec (a Korean company specializing in displays and outdoor panel PCs), which, thanks to Optical Bonding, High Brightness (blue modification) and translective (sunlight-readable) technologies, has specialized in the development of outdoor display solutions.
Display solutions that can be customized to fit customer needs, such as size, shape and brightness. This means that companies can create custom displays for their business, using the latest display technology available.
Smart displays for home automation
Another CONSYSTEM proposal in the HMI field is the UART 86 BOX, a 4” multi-touch TFT display from TDO (Top Display Optoelectronics), a company specializing in the design and manufacture of professional display solutions. The display, specifically designed for home automation, has a resolution of 720×720, a brightness of 300 cd/m2 in IPS technology, and features multiple interfaces (RS485/Ethernet/Wifi/Bluetooth/Relay). It is also notable for features such as: adaptability for flush-mount installation in a 503 box, panel with 86 standard, operating voltage range of 5.5 V – 24 V, 8 GB storage on eMMC, RTC, buzzer and video playback.
The home automation applications it lends itself to are varied and include: lighting control, curtain opening/closing control, air conditioning control, home entertainment control, etc. Thanks to TDO, it is also possible to have special cuts (square, circular, even boardless for specific home automation applications) and to request custom modifications.
