Rugged Touch Screen Computer Reduces Cost Through Modular Design H uman Machine Interfaces (HMI) play a vital role within the production and manufacturing sectors, these factory control applications are often installed on outdated hardware that can be bulky and lacking the opportunity to upgrade or expand with technological advances - which can lead to an expensive investment for such demanding industry sectors. Steatite are exclusively offering the Cincoze panel PC, which employs a modular design that helps to minimise the total cost of ownership within the control and interactive system technology. Through a unique ‘configure by design’ build, the computing hardware or touch screen components can be upgraded and expanded separately as your needs and requirements change. This two part design helps to simplify servicing and maintenance, meaning these tasks can now be carried out without the need for specialist training or a pause in operational use. The rugged and reliable structure allows users to complete tasks manually with the optional transferrable PC module through a plug-in design; creating a constantly running schedule. Through our expertise we custom build industrial computer systems from the initial concept design through to the final product.
