An HMI PC (Human-Machine Interface Personal Computer) is an industrial Panel PC that merges traditional HMI monitoring and control with the power of a standard computer. Ideal for running SCADA software and advanced applications, it provides a versatile operator interface terminal for complex industrial visualization, automation, and data management in manufacturing and other industries.
Panel PCs are integrated all-in-one industrial computing systems that combine a ruggedized computer with a touchscreen display in a single, compact enclosure. These specialized units feature industrial-grade processors, solid-state storage, and comprehensive I/O capabilities designed for demanding automation and control applications.
