Was ist ein Industrie-Panel-PC? Ein vollständiger Leitfaden für Einsteiger (2025 Update)

This article explains the basic concept of an industrial panel PC, how it differs from consumer devices, its key components, and why industries rely on it for automation and control.

Introduction

As industries shift toward digitalization and smart automation, the demand for reliable human-machine interfaces continues to increase. Industrial Panel PCs (IPCs) have become essential devices across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, transportation, and retail.
This guide will help beginners understand what an industrial panel PC is, how it works, and why companies choose IEEKER as their preferred industrial computer supplier.

Was ist ein Industrie-Panel-PC?

Eine Industrie-Panel-PC is an all-in-one computer that integrates:

• An industrial-grade touchscreen
• A high-performance motherboard
• Rugged metal housing
• Mehrere industrielle E/A-Anschlüsse
• Stable power supply
• Long-lifecycle components

Unlike consumer tablets or laptops, industrial panel PCs are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation in harsh environments such as:

• Dusty production lines
• High-temperature factories
• Outdoor kiosks
• Vehicle-mounted systems
• Oil, moisture, or vibration-heavy environments

Their durability and stability make them indispensable for industrial automation.

Key Features of an Industrial Panel PC

1. Rugged and Durable Design

Industrial panel PCs are built to withstand extreme environments. Common durability features include:

• IP65/IP67 dust and waterproof front panels
• Fanless cooling system
• Anti-vibration and anti-shock structure
• Aluminum alloy or steel housing
• Wide temperature operation (-20°C to 70°C)

IEEKER uses industrial-grade components to ensure long-term reliability and low maintenance costs.

2. Touchscreen Human–Machine Interface

The integrated touchscreen enables intuitive operation. Typical touch options include:

• Capacitive Touch (supports multi-touch, high sensitivity)
• Resistive Touch (works with gloves, highly durable)

This makes panel PCs ideal for MES terminals, SCADA control, CNC machine interfaces, and production dashboards.

3. Multiple Industrial Connectivity Ports

Unlike consumer devices, industrial PCs support rich I/O designed for automation:

• RS232 / RS485 serial ports
• Gigabit-LAN
• USB 2.0 / 3.0
• GPIO, CANBus
• HDMI / VGA
• 4G/5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth (optional)

These interfaces ensure seamless communication with PLCs, robots, sensors, and industrial systems.

4. Flexible Installation Options

Industrial panel PCs can be installed in many ways:

• Schalttafelmontage
• VESA-Halterung
• Eingebettete Halterung
• Wandhalterung
• Desktop stand

IEEKER provides customized mounting solutions for machines, kiosks, vehicles, and smart terminals.

5. Long Lifecycle Supply

Industrial projects often require stable supply for 5–7 years or more.
IEEKER ensures:

• Long-lifecycle CPU platforms
• Consistent components
• Stable firmware and drivers
• Long-term availability

This is crucial for OEM manufacturing, system integrators, and automation projects.
