Did you know factories can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every single hour a production line is down? That is why I cannot overstate the need for dependable industrial control systems. While the biggest companies have long dominated this space, Elpro Technologies offers something different: high performing, tough and affordable Elpro Technologies Panel PCs. Our panel PCs often match or beat the big guys, and we design them based on actual engineering problems. This ensures they thrive in demanding factory environments.
Why Explore Alternatives to the Usual Panel PC Suppliers?
Before I get into why Elpro Technologies Panel PCs are a great choice, let us examine why companies look for other options. The big names sell decent products, sure, but they do not always fit specific needs or budgets. Here are a few typical reasons to shop around:
- Cost: Top tier Panel PCs from famous brands can be really expensive.
- Customization: Basic Panel PCs may not have the exact features or customization needed for specialized uses.
- Lead Times: How long it takes to get certain models can be quite long, depending on the setup and how many are in demand.
- Support: The quality of service can be inconsistent. Some customers want support that is faster or closer to home.
Knowing these challenges, we created Elpro Technologies Panel PCs to directly solve them. We provide a better solution for many industrial needs.
Elpro Technologies Panel PCs: What You Get
Our Panel PCs are built to work in tough industrial spots. Here is what makes them special:
Built to Last
Factories are notoriously hard on equipment, with extreme heat or cold, constant shaking and airborne dirt. Our Panel PCs are made to handle these issues. They feature strong cases, industrial grade parts and fanless designs for reliable operation, even in the harshest locations.
I have seen firsthand the damage even one small part failing can cause, so we make durability a priority. Our Elpro Technologies Panel PCs go through strict testing, meeting or exceeding the standards for shock, vibration and temperature resistance.
Performance Choices and Easy Configuration
Our Panel PCs use various Intel processors, from power saving Atom models to high performing Core i7 CPUs. This lets us provide solutions for different uses, from basic HMI tasks to complex data analysis and visualization. With Elpro Technologies Panel PCs, you have the power you require.
We also provide many configuration options, including:
- Display Size and Resolution: Select from small 7 inch models to large 21.5 inch displays with Full HD.
