Extensive Functions for Displays in Industrial and Medical Technology
The contemporary Android version provides extensive design options, allowing users to tailor the user interface, boot animations, and color schemes to their brand specifications. (CI/CD) pipelines facilitate automatic OS updates and the distribution of system and app changes through over-the-air (OTA) updates. The Android operating system further enhances the POS-IQ-PRO panel PC experience with features such as kiosk mode for authorization management, easy remote access through Mobile Device Management (MDM), streamlined app management, and screen mirroring for real-time monitoring of remote device screens. Extended long-term support and regular security updates contribute to the ongoing safety and reliability of the Android devices.
The POS-IQ-PRO panel PC monitors, equipped with a robust Intel® Pentium® N4200 processor, were specifically designed for applications in machine controls, HMIs, and medical technology. Available in sizes ranging from 10.1 to 15.6", these panel PCs feature a 10-finger PCAP touchscreen for user-friendly operation and a slim, durable stainless-steel housing with front IP65 protection against dust and water. Passive cooling ensures optimal system performance even in high ambient temperatures. Additionally, VESA mounting holes allow flexible installation options, including swivel arms or monitor bases, and optional wall installation frames facilitate integration into various constructions like concrete, wood, or drywall.
The FORTEC Integrated monitors of the POS-RP-PRO series, equipped with integrated Raspberry Pi ARM processor, are also offered with the emteria Android operating system.
