AIS Introduces a 7 Inch Widescreen Touch Panel Computer Featuring Windows CE for Web-Enabled HMI SCADA Client Applications

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Industrial Systems, Inc. (AIS), introduces a low-cost 7 inch Widescreen Compact HMI panel computer designed for manufacturing, process control, industrial and machine automation. AIS’ 7” HMI operator interface terminal comes preloaded with Microsoft Windows CE, Ethernet connectivity and optional industry-standard InduSoft Web Studio HMI/ SCADA software. The open HMI panel is designed for machine-level, site-level or mid-level HMI applications utilizing touch functionality for data logging, operating and monitoring in every automation segment.

AIS 7” touch panels are powered by the Intel® Atom™ 1.6 GHz processor with 2.5W thermal design power (TDP) and 1.56 TDP to clock speed ratio (W/GHz) which allows for a passive and fanless cooling system architecture. The touch panel pc is designed to NEMA 1/12/4 sealing standards, meeting high levels of dust, dirt, grease, moisture, humidity, shock, vibration and EMI/RFI resistance compliance. The open source web-enable HMI touch panel pc’s run Microsoft Windows operating systems, along with integrated standard communication interface features including Gigabit Ethernet, RS232, and RS422/485 serial ports can connects to industrial automation PLC, DCS, SCADA and PAC systems.

With touch screen capability, ruggedized housing, and several I/O connections, the AIS´ widescreen operator interface terminal is a powerful cost effective system that is available commercially off the shelf and is easily deployable into building, factory, and industrial automation applications. AIS´ commercial off the shelf (COTS) predesigned operator terminal provides a cost effective control interface which is easily integrated to new and existing installations reducing the time to market and competitiveness where service, availability, reliability, and technology are paramount.
