AIS Releases Economic Intel Core Duo Processor-Based Thin Client Touch Panel Computers

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Industrial Systems Inc. AIS, is an ISO 9001:2008 certified supplier and manufacturer of economical, network efficient, thermally efficient, and reliable industrial touch panel computers using the Intel Atom platform with 10 and 15 inch display sizes. The industrial thin client touch panel computers are designed with Intel Atom Processor D2550 (1M Cache, 1.86 GHz), low power consumption (Max TDP 10W), rich I/O portfolio, ruggedized front bezel, IP 65 protection class rating and high shock and vibration resistance components engineered to withstand harsh factory and environmental conditions. The 10” and 15” touch panel computers are value products that are a cost effective choice especially for limited budgets.

Low Power and Thermally Efficient

AIS offers Intel embedded processor-based panel PC systems as an open platform in developing Human Machine Interface (HMI) and visualization solutions. AIS industrial embedded panel PCs are designed to increase performance, provide real-time connectivity and interactive touch screen functionality for the Industrial Automation and Process Control industries.

3D Machine Vision System

To minimize HMI development efforts, designers want to develop scalable systems that can be easily upgraded as performance expectations increase. Plant managers and control engineers are looking for architecture that enables low cost, and small form factor configurations with a minimum number of components. Responding to these escalating requirements, AIS’ next generation Dual-Core Intel Atom processor-based platforms offer improved performance and lower power consumption along with improved graphics utilizing a dedicated media engine and enhanced 3D performance machine vision.

Enterprise Connectivity

AIS industrial touch panel PCs powered by Microsoft Windows embedded standard operating systems promote economic deployment of HMI solutions in manufacturing environments. HMI terminals feature visual computing interfaces with the performance and reliability for industrial automation and control systems. The dynamic visualization of AIS HMI panel PCs also provide stable real-time operating system support, increased processing performance and a wide range of network and communication interfaces, along with a rugged compact size and energy-efficient design.

Network Efficiency

AIS industrial touch panel computers easily integrate into existing Ethernet and TCP/ IP installations which engineers use in monitoring and controlling mission-critical processes; thereby allowing operators to see desktop quality graphics and real-time updates of processes in a web browser from anywhere in the world. By gaining timely access to key performance indicators (KPIs), decision makers are able to make business decisions from real time information. Information convergence between manufacturing and business systems within an enterprise allows greater business agility and opportunities for innovation.
