What is an industrial panel PC?
An industrial panel PC is a computer built into a touchscreen display in a single housing. It is designed for factory floors, machine control, kiosks and other demanding environments. The display and computer share one enclosure, so no separate monitor or tower is needed. Industrial models use sealed, rugged housings and wide operating temperature ranges. They are built to run continuously.
