Industrial PC (IPC)

An Industrial PC or IPC is also known as a Box PC, Embedded PC, Panel PC, Panel Mounted Computer, Touch Panel PC, or Industrial Panel PC. IPCs can be sold with or without an integrated industrial display. An integrated display allows the entire computer to be mounted in any manner available for the display alone, ex panel mount, VESA, wall, etc., and eliminates the need for a separate space for the computer. A Panel PC is typically ruggedized for use in industrial or high-traffic settings. 

Do your Embedded IPCs support Windows 11?

Our Embedded IPCs have drivers for Win 10 IoT Enterprise, Win 11 IoT Enterprise, Win 11 Pro, and Linux Ubuntu. See specific product pages for Operating System Options.

What are PKEA and ePKEA Product Keys?

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:
