UL Certified, Embedded PC with Multi-Display Support

Intelligent Energy Saving is a built-in power management feature that allows users to schedule when the PC automatically turns on and off.

This feature helps reduce energy consumption by ensuring the system only runs during required operating hours. For example, in digital signage, or kiosk applications, the IPC can be set to power on before business hours and shut down after closing, eliminating unnecessary runtime.

In addition to energy savings, this technology also supports:

• Improved system lifespan by reducing continuous usage
• Consistent daily scheduling for reliable deployment

Overall, this technology is an intelligent power scheduling feature that allows the IPC to automatically turn on and off at set times, helping to reduce energy use and enable dependable, unattended operations in industrial and commercial environments.

Extended Display Identification Data. EDID is the data a monitor sends to the PC telling it what its capabilities are. The emulator basically mimics that data so the IPC thinks the monitor is always connected and powered on, which prevents connection loss, even when changing out displays or providing maintenance, allowing for 24/7 operation.

EDID Emulation provides several important advantages:

• Prevents display resolution issues when monitors are disconnected
• Maintains stable video output during power cycling or hot-swapping
• Reduces system downtime in industrial environments
• Ensures consistent display configuration across reboots
• Improves reliability for remote or unattended systems

Without EDID Emulation:

• The system may lose display signal when a monitor is disconnected
• Resolution may default to a lower setting
• Applications may resize or fail to display correctly
• remote access sessions may be disrupted

Observer is a remote monitoring and system recovery technology built into select IPCs that helps ensure reliable, continuous operation.

Allowing for users to monitor system status and automatically recover from unexpected issues, reducing the need for onsite maintenance. If the system encounters an error or becomes unresponsive, Observer can trigger a reboot or different recovery action to restore the system back to normal operations.

Observer is especially useful for remote or unattended systems such as digital signage and kiosks where uptime is critical.

Benefits include:

• Remote system monitoring for improved visibility
• Automatic recovery from system crashes or freezes
• Reduced downtime in critical applications
• Less need for onsite visits

In general, Observer helps maintain consistent reliability and performance, our IPCs well suited for demanding, always-on environments.

Yes, all our Industrial Panel PC and Embedded Box PC units are fanless design.

Fanless PCs, also known as passively cooled systems, offer benefits like silent operation, enhanced reliability (fewer moving parts, less dust), greater durability (vibration resistance), improved energy efficiency, and suitability for harsh/dusty environments, making them great for quiet spaces, industrial settings, or anywhere you need a low-maintenance, long-lasting computer.

See our What are the benefits of Fanless Industrial PCs FAQ for a deeper dive into the benefits.

We have large amounts of inventory and can typically ship with in 2 business days!

The following operating systems are available for Maple Systems Industrial PC computers:

• Windows^® 11 Pro
• Windows^® 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC (EPKEA & PKEA)
• Windows^® 10 Ent. LTSB Embedded (EPKEA)
• Windows^® 10 Ent. LTSB Non-Embedded (PKEA)
• Linux^® Ubuntu Desktop and Server

When installing or reinstalling the Microsoft^® Windows^® Operating System to a PC, it must be activated using a Product Key. For Maple Systems products, Product Keys come in one of two forms: PKEA and ePKEA.

PKEA (Product Key Entry Activation) are non-embedded Product Keys purchased by the end-user either individually, or alongside a PC. If purchased with a PC, it will be on a sticker attached to the unit. The end user must manually activate Windows^® before use by entering the Product Key into the Activation page while connected to the internet. The Product Key can be re-used on the same PC if Windows^® needs to be re-installed.

A PKEA unit will feature a badge that looks something like below:

NOTE: The PKEA label on some units may appear with a different color scheme depending on the release of Microsoft^® Windows^® it is for

ePKEA (Embedded Product Key Entry Activation) are embedded Product Keys that are only be purchased alongside a PC. The Product Key is embedded in the PC and activated by Maple Systems. If Windows^® needs to be reinstalled on the PC, it must come back to Maple Systems for re-activation.

An ePKEA unit will feature a badge that looks something like below:

We are proud to offer Aveva Edge^® a our recommended SCADA software our Industrial Box PC and Panel PCs. Award-winning Aveva Edge^® is an innovative SCADA-Ready software enabling the creation of custom industrial control applications for any industry imaginable.

With easy-to-use commands/tool bars and a Microsoft^® Windows^® environment, Aveva Edge’s feature-rich applications puts you in the driver’s seat of creating your industrial process.

With unlimited number of communications drivers; tags from 1,500 to 64,000; support for Windows^® Pro, Windows^® Embedded, and Windows^® CE applications, Aveva Edge’s offers you a powerful software solution with the flexibility you desire.

Yes, VTScada runs on Window and supports both Windows 10 and 11. Our IPCs deliver equal or better performance at a significantly lower cost to our competitors.

With full support for Windows 10 and 11 and common industrial protocols, our IPCs run VTScada exactly as you would expect, delivering smooth graphics, reliable data logging, and seamless connectivity to all your peripherals. Available in fanless, panel-mount, and stainless-steel options with IP65–IP69K protection, we provide the flexibility needed to build scalable SCADA systems without locking you into proprietary hardware.

Pairing VTScada with one of our IPCs or Touch Panel PCs, gives integrators a robust, open, and budget-friendly solution for both new installations and modernization projects.

Designed for 24/7 operation, these rugged PCs offer fast Intel® or AMD processing, ample I/O, solid-state storage up to 2TB, RAM storage up to 64GB, and long-life components – making us ideal for water/wastewater, energy, manufacturing, oil & gas, and critical infrastructure.

Yes, yes they do. Quite well actually. If you’re looking for a cost-effective, unbranded hardware option with the flexibility to run this SCADA software along with other apps simultaneously, multiple screen size options, high-brightness options, more SSD and RAM options, with expansive I/O, Maple Systems is the right choice.

They sure do! Contact our sales department today for more info on our Windows based Industrial Box PCs and rugged Touch Screen Panel PCs.

Why use a Maple IPC instead of a GE/Emerson hardware? If you want high performance at a lower cost, need larger screen sizes, higher flexibility, the option to run multiple apps on the same device, more SSD and RAM options and fast delivery times, stick with us, we’ve got you covered!
