Cincoze industrial panel PCs: Powering smart factories
12 November 2020
Cincoze has developed the Crystal series – a range of panel PCs. The Crystal series is ideal for human-machine interface applications like machine operation monitoring, materials planning management, and plant environmental controls.
Together, these features allow customers to rapidly upgrade to a smart factory and optimise production capacity and competitiveness.
Easy maintenance and quick repairs
The Cincoze Convertible Display System is at the heart of the Crystal series. The system uses a patented design to match an industrial monitor to an industrial embedded system, providing almost limitless combinations of display size and system performance, while saving future upgrade costs through separate display and system upgrades. In addition to easy upgrades, repairs are a cinch, as the monitor and embedded system are plug-and-play, permitting rapid switching out of faulty components, thereby keeping downtime to a minimum, so production stays at capacity and on schedule.
Numerous sizes and multiple options
The range of sizes and configurations provides a one-stop-shop for any industrial panel PC application. Cincoze Crystal panel PCs are offered in sizes from 8- to 24-inch, in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, and optionally a multi-point projected capacitive (P-CAP) or single-point resistive touchscreen. All processor requirements are covered, with options ranging from the low-power Intel Atom through the Pentium range and up to the high-performance Core series.
Strong and durable for harsh environments
The Crystal range of panel PCs is built tough. It features a die-cast aluminium alloy anti-collision frame, super-tough touch surface hardness up to 7H (P-CAP model), and a waterproof and dustproof IP65 front panel. It's also fanless, supports a 9-48V voltage power input, and offers stable and continuous operation in severe industrial environments from temperature extremes as low as -20°C to as high as 70°C. Finally, the high-brightness backlight display provides easy visibility both indoors and in bright outdoor applications.
Multi-layer protection and continuous operation
Smart factory operation hinges on fast and stable data transmission to the cloud and central control room for remote monitoring and analysis, so informed decisions can be made to improve production capacity and efficiency. The Crystal series panel PCs feature multiple IOs, with GbE LAN, USB 3.0, VGA, and Displayport for simple implementation of networking, transmission, and display functions. Additionally, they meet wireless data networking and transmission requirements with mini-PCIe wireless communication modules that offer Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE, and GPS. There are various standard hard drives, SSD, and mSATA to choose from for storage needs. The ensure computer hardware doesn't get damaged, a number of built-in mechanisms such as over-voltage protection and over-current protection prevent system shutdown due to power supply fluctuations and other environmental factors, allowing 24 hours a day uninterrupted operation in the factory.
The Cincoze Crystal series offers a comprehensive range of sizes and configuration options, for indoors or outdoors, for energy-efficiency or high-performance, and industrial panel PC or touchscreen. The Cincoze Crystal range is a go-to choice for quick and painless smart factory upgrades.
