HKAUTOMATION, a Hoffmann + Krippner company, introduces a new generation of industrial panel PCs called flex-IPC®.
The current product line, featuring improved hardware and high-quality standard components, is available in three performance levels. The enhanced flex-IPC® concept provides a more compact and robust enclosure made of zinc-coated stainless steel. Given the customizable aluminum front panel, sealed according to IP 65, the flex-IPC® provides the perfect solution for automation in industrial, medical, and food processing environments.
Based on an open software architecture with operating systems Windows Compact 7 and Windows 7 Standard Embedded Edition, the concept allows for individual configuration to meet specific application requirements. Customers have the option to customize front panel design according to predetermined standards.
The flex-IPC® series recognizes all individual implementation requirements: varying performance levels, full customization including function key labels, touch screens designed for industrial applications and complete input systems, combining hardware and software – ideally integrated one-stop solutions.
"With flex-IPC®, customers now have a flexible and inexpensive alternative to overpriced IPC-systems. Besides a durable and easy to configure system, they also get the option of a customized front panel. flex-IPC® is the perfect solution for customers who need only smaller quantities but do not want to compromise on functionality or quality," says company president, Guido Woska.
