AIS Releases a Line of Human Machine Interface (HMI) Computers Featuring Stainless Steel Enclosures for Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical & Chemicals, OEM Machinery, and Equipment Industries

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Industrial Systems Inc. (AIS) has introduced a line of Stainless Steel HMI Computers for superior performance in wet, dusty, rugged, and humid environments. Several completely fanless system options are available including the Intel® Atom Processor and AMD Geode LX-800 Processors. All the systems feature low power consumption, high reliability, long product life cycle and superior performance per watt operation. Additional options are available such as HMI Touchscreens Capability, Sunlight Readability capability through Transflective enhancements, LED backlit Panels, and custom I/O's; enhancing the versatility and utility of the display. These human machine interface (HMI) computers comply with stainless steel chassis to meet hygiene requirements for food-and-beverage processing, production and packaging.

AIS stainless steel operator panels equipped with Intel‘s Atom processor with low TDP (Thermal Design Power) enables a passive fanless cooling in combination while maintaining a sealed enclosure. The AIS industrial HMI panels and rugged panel PCs installed in stainless steel chassis and built-in touch screens are ideal for food, beverages, tobacco, pharmaceutical, and machinery equipment where sanitation, reliability, sealing, and performance in harsh conditions are paramount.

These industrial rugged panel PCs are encased in a waterproof and dustproof anti-corrosive stainless steel enclosure to ensure complete all-weather protection including the rear I/O connectors. The stainless steel chassis can be cleaned with chemicals and is designed for situations where sanitation is of highest priority. AIS utilizes specially designed IP65 / NEMA 4X weatherproof connectors and cables; the fool-proof design incorporates ABS thermoplastic covers and o-rings to completely seal the monitor from harmful particulate dust and water. Currently the Rugged Touchscreen Panel PCs are available in 15”, 17”, and 19”. VESA standard mounting holes are available on every unit for easy deployment into any installation. Whether your application requires a commercial off the shelf (COTS) unit, or a fully customized Weatherproof Panel PC, AIS has the flexibility to meet your requirement.
