More than just a rugged computer, a high quality 17 inch industrial panel pc integrates the robustness of industrial design with the intuitive touch interface and processing power required for data-driven automation. Whether on the factory floor, embedded in a robotic workstation, or running complex SCADA systems, these devices are rapidly becoming the brain and nervous system of the smart factory. Yet, not all panel PCs are created equal. Poor choices in hardware can result in downtime, user frustration, inaccurate data, and frequent replacements.
