FAQ about Panel PCs

A Panel PC is an industrial computer with an integrated touch display that combines operation and control in a single device. It is typically installed directly into machines or control cabinets and serves as the user interface for industrial applications. Unlike conventional PCs, it is specifically protected against dust, moisture, and vibration. Panel PCs are therefore ideal for harsh industrial environments and 24/7 operation.

Panel PCs are used for controlling, monitoring, and visualizing processes. They are applied in manufacturing automation, vehicles, mechanical engineering, the food industry, and logistics. With the combination of a touchscreen and computing power, operators can interact directly with the process, collect production data, or monitor machine status — all in real time.

A Panel PC saves space, reduces cabling, and is extremely robust. It replaces separate computer and monitor setups while providing a reliable and durable operating interface. Easy installation, low maintenance, and high stability in dusty, humid, or temperature-fluctuating environments make it an ideal choice for industrial settings.

Panel PCs should be at least IP65-rated to ensure protection against dust and jet water. In highly demanding environments — such as food processing or outdoor applications — models with IP66 or stainless-steel housings are recommended. These offer additional protection against moisture, cleaning agents, and mechanical impact.

There are two main types: resistive and capacitive touchscreens. Resistive touchscreens work even with gloves or in wet conditions, making them suitable for harsh environments. Capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens support multi-touch gestures and offer a modern, intuitive user experience — ideal for clean industrial or office environments.

Panel PCs are equipped with Intel® or ARM processors and support common operating systems such as Windows, Linux, or Android. Depending on the application, performance can be tailored — from energy-efficient Celeron processors to powerful Core-i models. This makes them suitable for simple visualizations as well as data-intensive tasks.

Panel PCs can be mounted in control cabinets, machine fronts, or via VESA brackets. Flush mounting ensures a secure, hygienic, and space-saving integration. Wall, arm, or vehicle mounting options are also available — ideal for mobile or flexible applications.

A Panel PC is designed for many years of continuous operation. Thanks to industrial components, fanless designs, and high resistance to temperature and vibration, the devices remain stable and low-maintenance over long periods. Manufacturers like Darveen also offer long-term spare parts availability and support.

Yes, Panel PCs can be customized in terms of hardware, interfaces, and software. Customers can choose processor, memory, display size, housing material, or connectivity options. Pre-installed operating systems or special adjustments for IoT or edge applications are also possible.
