Industrial panel computers
Logistics and production processes supported by modern IT tools such as WMS or MES systems require enabling data entry at operator stations. For this purpose, mobile devices such as data collectors are used, but also desktop devices equipped with a touch screen.
Panel computers for industrial applications
This type of panel computers gives the possibility to use them in the harshest industrial conditions. They are a great tool for communicating with MES (manufacturing execution system) class production management system. Solutions of this type are used especially in the following sectors:
- food processing
- metallurgy
- manufacturing of electronic components
- printing and paper processing
- furniture industry
Panel computers in combination with Auto ID devices
A major benefit of using panel computers is that they can be combined with automatic identification devices based on RFID or barcode technology. Thanks to such a procedure, it is possible to read operator data, automatically read data from the production process and acquire many other data, which will ultimately lead to increased process efficiency.
How does the panel computer improve work?
The touchscreen panel computer facilitates operation of equipment on the shop floor and provides convenient access to data. Its design allows you to quickly run the necessary applications and work with MES, WMS or Digital Twin class systems. This makes it easy for the operator to monitor the progress of tasks and react to changes in the process.
The touch interface is clear and the operation is intuitive, so the operation becomes smoother and less error-prone. The device works with industrial automation systems and Auto ID technologies, which allows efficient collection of production information.
In daily operations, the touch panel computer provides a number of advantages:
- Improves communication between the departments of production logistics and maintenance, making it easier to coordinate activities and respond to changes on an ongoing basis,
- Integrates with industrial automation systems and AMR mobile robots, providing seamless device control and synchronized line operation,
- Works with RFID readers and barcode scanners, eliminating manual errors and reducing data capture time,
- enables real-time visualization of the process, so the operator can track key parameters and make decisions faster,
- Supports data analytics from within the host system, allowing for performance evaluation, production planning and precise reporting of results.
Such an organized workstation reduces downtime and increases employee safety. The use of industrial panel computers also improves data consistency and facilitates the management of company processes.
Industrial panel computer - for whom?
The industrial panel computer is used wherever precision and continuity of operation are important. They are most often chosen by manufacturing companies seeking full control over processes. This type of equipment works well in assembly areas, as well as on packaging lines, in processing plants or in spaces where work is done in shifts.
The industrial panel computer is used by those responsible for various areas of plant operations, including:
- Machine operators overseeing equipment operating parameters,
- Maintenance workers analyzing the technical condition of the line,
- Quality technicians who verify product compliance with standards,
- Production and logistics specialists to control the processes.
The device guarantees intuitive access to process data and eliminates the need for additional terminals. Its high resistance to contamination allows it to be installed in dusty areas or near production lines.
