An optional coatings anti-glare front glass, a corrosion and chemical resistant surface
-
Allows designers to eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse or other pointing device
-
Open PC-based can be used for custom solutions based on Microsoft Windows 7 and 8
-
Gesture for industrial based HMI applications (smart zoom, scroll, pan, double tap, drag, long press, pinch, flick, press & drag, press, rotate, two finger tag, two finger scroll, press & tag)
Featuring NEMA 4X/IP66-Comp Stainless Steel Front Bezels with a Corrosion and Chemical Resistant Surface, AIS's Widescreen Touch Panel PCs are Suitable for Clean-in-Place (CIP) Applications
Clean-in-place (CIP) is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, process equipment, filters and associated fittings, without disassembly. CIP is needed in frequent internal cleaning of processes. Industries that rely heavily on CIP are those requiring high levels of hygiene, and include: dairy, beverage, brewing, processed foods, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics. The benefit of using AIS's NEMA 4X/I66 Premium and Standard series widescreen touch panels for industries that use CIP is faster cleaning, less labor-intensive and more repeatable, and poses less of a chemical exposure risk to people. In addition, AIS's smart, rugged PC-based HMIs can withstand harsh industrial environments and improves system reliability, uptime and longevity of process automation equipment and systems.
