AIS Intros Low Cost 15" Operator Interface Panel For Multiple Applications

American Industrial Systems Inc.(AIS), a provider of cost-effective Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) embedded computing products for the industrial market, as well as ODM/OEM applications worldwide, has announced to launch a 15" Industrial Rugged Touchscreen Operator Interface Panel. The panel is powered by the low power consumption Intel (News - Alert) Atom processor and features a pre-installed Windows embedded CE or Windows XP embedded operating system.

Offering an innovative modular design, the new panel offers support to a number of mechanical mounting solutions, such as open frame, panel mount bezel, IP65/NEMA4 bezel, and rack mountable bezels. The Touchscreen Panel PC can be easily integrated into the PCA, PLC, DCS, factory 'Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition' or 'SCADA' systems, operator terminals and automation applications, and deploys an Intel Atom processor to provide efficient and reliable performance at low costs.

Engaged in designing and manufacturing specialty industrial panel pc, industrial display, digital signage, and rugged tablet pc solutions, AIS primarily caters to its clients in various sectors such as industrial automation, military & aerospace, medical, transportation and power & energy markets.

The Touchscreen Operator Interface Panel PCs are safely covered within a steel chassis, so that they don't get damaged due to harsh industrial environments including shock/vibration, extreme temperatures, and excessive use. Similarly, protection from water, dust & wet environments is guaranteed by the optional IP65/NEMA4X bezel, while the standard VESA mounts or mounting clips enable the users to easily mount them to any fixture. The Touch Panel PC banks upon the potential of an industrial grade LCD panel, 5 wire resistive touchscreen and efficient Intel Atom Processor (News - Alert) so that the Panel PC offered by AIS is a low cost product that can be easily afforded by enterprises of all sizes.

The data collection terminals developed by AIS offer a reliable and efficient service, and are easily programmable, offering support for a non-proprietary-hardware based solution. The Operator Interface Terminal provided by the company include touchscreen capability, ruggedized housing, and several I/O connections to provide a cost effective yet powerful system that can be conveniently into the build, factory, and industrial automation applications by the enterprises. The system, equipped with a 1.6Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM (News - Alert), 80GB Hard Disk Drive and Windows XP Embedded, is available at a price beginning at US$ 899.

In June 2010, American Industrial Systems Inc. introduced a 10.1' Operator Interface Terminal PC designed for Building, Factory, and Industrial Automation. The 'Human Machine Interface' or 'HMI' Panel PC featured the Intel Atom processor, providing fanless, reliable performance with minimal power consumption.
