In the rapidly evolving world of industrial automation, one component often plays a quiet but critical role: the Industrial Panel PC. These rugged, all-in-one computers are the brains behind countless automated systems — from factory floors and smart warehouses to medical equipment and energy management. But with so many configurations and specifications available, how do you choose the right one?
In this article, we’ll break down the key factors to consider when selecting an industrial panel PC and introduce how YENTEK, a high-tech enterprise focused on the R&D, production, sales, and service of industrial computing products, can help you make the best choice for your automation needs.
What Is an Industrial Panel PC?
An Industrial Panel PC is a compact computing device that integrates a touchscreen display with an embedded industrial-grade computer. Unlike consumer-grade computers, panel PCs are designed to operate in harsh environments — withstanding dust, moisture, vibration, extreme temperatures, and electromagnetic interference.
These systems are widely used in:
Factory automation & machine control
Smart logistics & warehousing
Transportation systems
Energy monitoring
Healthcare and laboratory equipment
Industrial kiosks and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces)
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Industrial Panel PC
1. Performance Requirements
Start with your software needs. What type of processing power is required? Will the PC need to run complex SCADA software, real-time control systems, or only display simple data?
YENTEK offers a wide range of processors — from energy-efficient Intel® Celeron® to high-performance Core™ i7 CPUs — to support both entry-level and high-load applications.
2. Touchscreen Type
Depending on the use case and environment, you may need:
Resistive touch for gloved use or wet environments
Capacitive touch for smooth multi-touch control and high accuracy
YENTEK’s industrial panel PCs come with customizable touch technologies, supporting various interaction modes while ensuring long-term durability.
3. Display Size and Resolution
Panel PCs are available in sizes ranging from 7 inches to 21.5 inches or more, with HD or Full HD resolution. Choose a size based on:
The complexity of your interface
The available space on your machine or workstation
Operator visibility requirements
YENTEK provides a wide selection of display options, including sunlight-readable and wide-temperature screens.
4. Ruggedness and Environment Tolerance
Environments vary greatly: clean rooms, dusty warehouses, outdoor stations, or humid food processing lines.
YENTEK designs panel PCs with IP65-rated front panels, fanless heat dissipation, and industrial-grade enclosures, ensuring stable performance in tough conditions.
5. Mounting Options
Flexibility in installation is crucial. Whether you need panel mount, VESA mount, or wall mount, YENTEK offers adaptable mechanical designs that easily fit into existing setups or custom cabinets.
6. Connectivity & Expansion
Today’s industrial systems demand seamless integration with other devices — sensors, PLCs, network systems, or cloud platforms.
YENTEK’s panel PCs support a full range of I/O ports:
RS232/485
Ethernet & Wi-Fi
USB, GPIO, CAN bus
4G/5G & Bluetooth modules (optional)
Expansion slots and custom I/O configurations are also available for specific project needs.
7. Long-Term Availability and Support
Industrial products typically have long life cycles. YENTEK ensures stable product availability, firmware support, and ongoing service, making it a trusted long-term partner for industrial clients.
