The short answer
Display and computer in one housing, built for the shop floor
An industrial Panel PC combines a touchscreen, processing power and industrial connectivity in one compact enclosure. Unlike a standard all-in-one computer, it is designed for panel mounting, continuous operation, protection against dust and liquids, and compatibility with automation software. ICC offers options that can be configured to the project, from basic HMI screens to high-performance SCADA and MES workstations.

Getting the terms straight
HMI and Panel PC usage guide
A Panel PC, an HMI and an industrial monitor are not the same thing
Before you settle on a screen size, be clear about the job the device has to do.
| Criterion | Industrial Panel PC | Classic HMI | Industrial Monitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer hardware | Integrated processor, RAM and storage | Vendor-specific embedded platform | None — an external PC is required |
| Software flexibility | Windows/Linux applications, SCADA, MES | Limited to specific HMI software | Depends on the computer it is connected to |
| Operator interaction | Touchscreen plus full PC capability | Focused on touch control | Touch optional |
| Best suited to | Multiple applications, data processing and open integration | A simple, fixed machine interface | A display for an existing Box PC or PLC |
Purchasing checklist
How do you choose the right industrial panel computer?
Building your specification around these six headings cuts both unnecessary cost and the risk of a mismatch in the field.
Display and resolution
For compact machines, 10.1 to 12.1 inch; for dense SCADA screens, 15.6 to 21.5 inch. Measure the cut-out and the viewing distance together.
Touch technology
Resistive for thick gloves and single-point control; PCAP capacitive for multi-touch and a modern interface.
Processor and memory
The low-power N series for basic HMI; Core i5/i7 class platforms for SCADA, reporting and image processing.
Environmental durability
Check the datasheet for whether the IP rating covers the front panel or the whole housing, and for temperature range, vibration, humidity and wash-down conditions.
Connectivity and power
Decide on RS232/422/485, LAN, USB, digital I/O and wide-range DC input requirements before the project starts.
Software and life cycle
Windows or Linux support, drivers, BIOS settings, long-term availability and the service plan all shape the total cost of ownership.
By operating environment
Applications where a standard model is not enough
In food production, outdoor use or explosive atmospheres, the housing and its protection matter as much as the processor.
Hygienic production
Stainless Steel Panel PC
Washable housing options for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
Sunlight and heatOutdoor Panel PC
Open-air applications that need high brightness, readability and a wide temperature range.
Hazardous areaExProof / ATEX Panel PC
Projects that need a solution certified to the relevant explosive atmosphere classification.
Ergonomic useSupport Arm Panel PC
Operator stations and movable control panels that can be positioned around the machine.
Mobile ecosystemAndroid Panel PC
Android platform options for web-based, kiosk and light field applications.
External computerIndustrial Monitor
A rugged display and touch interface when you already have the computing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an industrial Panel PC?
An industrial Panel PC is a panel-mount computer that combines a touchscreen, processor, memory and storage in one rugged housing. It is used as the operator interface in HMI, SCADA, MES and machine control applications.
What is the difference between a Panel PC and an HMI?
An HMI is usually a closed, limited platform built for one specific automation task. A Panel PC is an open computing platform that can run several applications at once on Windows or Linux — SCADA, MES, an ERP client, image processing and data acquisition.
Should I choose resistive or capacitive touch?
Resistive where thick work gloves, oily surfaces or single-point control are involved; PCAP capacitive where you need multi-touch, a modern interface and sharper image quality. The final choice depends on the working environment.
Does an IP65 rating mean the Panel PC is completely waterproof?
No. An IP65 rating describes protection against dust and water jets only for the surface it was given for. On many panel-mount models the IP65 rating covers the front panel; the rear housing still has to be protected inside the cabinet.
Which processor should I choose for a Panel PC?
For basic HMI and data display, the Intel Processor N series may be enough. For large SCADA tag counts, reporting, databases, image processing or several applications at once, consider Core i5 or Core i7 class processors.
Can the RAM, SSD and operating system be configured?
Within the limits the model supports, RAM, SSD, operating system and some communication options can be configured to the project. The exact options and lead time are confirmed at the quotation stage for the chosen model.
Why do Panel PC prices vary?
Price is driven by screen size and brightness, touch technology, processor, RAM, storage, IP rating, operating temperature, stainless steel or ExProof housing, connectivity and quantity. For a comparable quote, these requirements need to be assessed together.
