Rockwell Automation sells industrial computers and monitors under its Allen-Bradley® portfolio. The facts we could confirm describe this range as open-architecture industrial PCs, thin clients and monitors, with specifications, environmental ratings and dimension drawings published for each product family. We could not confirm the specific processor, RAM, storage or operating system of any individual Rockwell model. The closest Thinvent match is the Thinvent IPC1 Industrial PC range, which is fanless and has Intel and AMD processors, up to 64 GB RAM and up to 2 TB SSD.
