With the wide temperature range from -20°C to +60°C and the dust-proof and splash-proof housing, the range of possible applications has been extended further. The panel PCs are available in display sizes of 7in, 12in, and 15in, offering a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

They can be operated with a finger, even when gloved, or by using pens or tools, without causing damage to the surface. Thanks to the backlighting, which can be switched off, and efficient CPUs, the panel PCs are also energy-saving.

All devices are equipped with an Intel Atom processor and can be configured with regard to mass storage, the operating system, and an additional serial interface.
