Company Background
The Challenges
Reliable Panel PC for IP69K Washdowns
Daily sanitation procedures required high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns using corrosive cleaning agents. Previous systems were prone to moisture ingress, leading to corrosion and failure. A fully IP66/IP69K-certified solution with robust waterproof construction was essential.
Clear Display in Humid, Low-Temperature Settings
Warehouse zones operated near freezing temperatures, and rapid ambient shifts led to fogging inside the HMI displays. Operators frequently encountered visibility and touchscreen responsiveness issues, delaying workflow and increasing error rates.
Industrial-Grade Waterproof I/O
Legacy systems with standard I/O ports suffered from water ingress and vibration-related disconnections. A reliable, industrial-grade M12 I/O solution was necessary to maintain communication stability in wet and harsh settings.
Display Size & Mounting Flexibility
The Solution
InnoAioT WPC-185WDC-12th Stainless Steel Washdown Panel PC
Designed for food-grade environments, the WPC-185WDC-12th offers uncompromising performance and sanitation compliance. Its stainless steel enclosure (available in SUS304 or SUS316) resists corrosion, high-pressure washdowns, and extreme temperatures—making it the ideal HMI for food processing, meatpacking, and cold-chain operations.
Optical Bonded FHD Touch Display
High-Performance Computing with 12th Gen Intel®
M12 I/O Ports for Sealed Connectivity
Equipped with rugged M12 connectors, including dual LAN, dual USB, and one COM port, this system ensures completely sealed, vibration-resistant connections. The waterproof design helps eliminate I/O failure due to washdowns or debris intrusion.
