Introducing Our New Industrial Panel PC Series for Factory Automation

[Shanghai, China — September 7, 2026] — Senke, a leading manufacturer of industrial display and human-machine interaction solutions, today officially launched a new industrial panel PC series purpose-built for factory automation applications. Engineered for the demanding conditions of modern manufacturing environments, the new series combines industrial-grade reliability with intuitive multi-touch HMI capabilities, enabling equipment manufacturers and system integrators to deploy reliable, long-term computing solutions for smart factory initiatives.

"Factory automation is accelerating rapidly, and our customers need industrial panel PCs that can keep up — running 24/7, surviving harsh factory conditions, and integrating seamlessly with MES, PLC, and IoT systems," said a Senke product spokesperson. "Our new series was designed from the ground up for exactly these requirements. Fanless operation, IP65 protection, wide-temperature range, full-lamination multi-touch, and rich industrial I/O — all in a compact, mountable form factor that's easy to integrate into any machine or control panel."

Series Overview

The new industrial panel PC series is available in a full range of screen sizes from 7" to 27", covering everything from compact machine-mounted HMIs to large control room and production floor displays. All models share a common industrial-grade platform, ensuring consistent reliability and a unified user experience across the entire lineup.

Operating Systems:

Android 11 (standard) — rich app ecosystem, fast boot, low cost, ideal for dedicated HMI and kiosk applications
Linux (optional) — highly customizable, secure, open-source, ideal for embedded and real-time control
Windows (optional on x86 models) — full compatibility with Windows-based SCADA/HMI software (Wonderware, Ignition, WinCC), ideal for IT-integrated environments

Core Features

Fanless Passive Cooling

All models feature fanless design with high-efficiency copper heat pipes and thermally conductive aluminum alloy enclosures. No fan means no moving parts to fail, no ventilation openings for dust/moisture ingress, and zero maintenance cooling — enabling reliable operation in the dustiest, dirtiest factory environments.

IP65 Front Panel Protection

The front panel is rated IP65 — dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets from any direction. This protects the display and touch surface from factory dust, oil mist, cleaning sprays, and accidental liquid spills. Optional fully-sealed IP67 enclosure available for washdown-intensive environments (food, pharmaceutical, chemical).

Wide-Temperature Operation

Standard: -10°C to 60°C — covers most indoor factory environments
Extended: -20°C to 70°C — for outdoor, cold storage, and high-temperature applications
Extreme: -30°C to 80°C with integrated LCD heating — for the most demanding environments

All components are industrial-grade wide-temperature rated, ensuring reliable startup and operation across the full temperature range.

Full-Lamination Capacitive Multi-Touch

Projected Capacitive (PCAP) 10-point multi-touch — supports pinch-to-zoom, two-finger rotate, swipe, and other intuitive gestures
Full-lamination optical bonding — eliminates air gaps, reducing internal reflection by up to 20% for brighter, clearer images; prevents internal condensation
Gloved operation support — enhanced-sensitivity controller works with thin-to-medium thickness industrial gloves; capacitive-compatible gloves available for thick-glove applications
Wet-finger touch & water rejection — advanced algorithms reject water droplets and films while supporting reliable wet-finger operation
Anti-glare (AG) & anti-fingerprint (AF) coatings — reduce reflections and smudges in bright factory environments

Rich Industrial I/O

Serial: RS232 / RS485 (configurable, with surge and ESD protection) for PLC and device connectivity
Network: Gigabit Ethernet (optional dual LAN), dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G), Bluetooth 4.2
Wireless expansion: Optional 4G LTE with SIM card slot for remote/mobile applications; optional GPS
USB: Multiple USB 2.0/3.0 ports for peripherals (barcode scanners, printers, keyboards)
Display: HDMI output (optional) for secondary monitor
Digital I/O: GPIO (4-in/4-out, configurable) for sensors, relays, and alarms
Audio: Line out / microphone (optional)

Industrial-Grade Reliability

100,000+ hour MTBF — high-MTBF industrial components, derated operation, polymer capacitors
Hardware watchdog timer — automatic system reset within 3–10 seconds if software hangs, no human intervention needed
Auto power-on — automatically boots and resumes operation after power restoration
Remote management — SNMP/MQTT monitoring, remote reboot, OTA updates, automated alerts
MIL-STD-810G equivalent vibration/shock — reliable operation on vibrating machinery
EMC compliant — EN 55032 emissions, EN 55035 immunity, FCC Part 15

Target Applications

The new series is engineered for a wide range of factory automation applications:

Machine HMI — operator interface for CNC machines, injection molding machines, packaging machines, printing presses, and other industrial equipment
Production line monitoring — real-time display of production metrics, OEE, downtime tracking, and quality data
MES integration — dedicated terminals for Manufacturing Execution System access, work order management, and labor tracking
Quality control — inspection stations, test equipment interfaces, and quality data entry terminals
Equipment data acquisition — data collection and edge processing from sensors, PLCs, and machines for IoT and analytics
Smart factory dashboards — large-format displays for production floor visibility, Andon systems, and real-time KPI monitoring
Warehouse and logistics — dock management, inventory tracking, and material handling terminals
