In the food processing industry, the daily cleaning of automation equipment and process equipment is extremely important to ensure food safety. Therefore, the human machine interface (HMI) for food production facilities must be able to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature washing and be cleaned with acidic cleaners to facilitate daily scrubbing and water washing. A suitable HMI solution for food production facilities should have:
Human Machine Interface (HMI) allows direct data flow collection and communication between machines and facilities, as well as real-time monitoring and control of operating processes, to create fast and collaborative manufacturing processes. In addition to computing performance, HMI systems used in the food industry has many factors to consider, such as whether it can withstand intensive spraying and repeated high-pressure cleaning. InnoAioT's stainless steel fanless panel PCs have been developed specifically to support the design requirements for the food industry. They have an IP69K-rated, water/dust-proof enclosure and IP66-rated M12-type connectors to resist ingress of high temperature and high-pressure water. The SUS316 stainless steel is used in order to prevent bacteria growth and avoid rust by prolonged usage.
The WPC-C156WDC adopts a 15.6-inch FHD TFT flat bezel LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and 450 nits of brightness. It features an optical bonding projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen with a surface hardness of ≥7H, offering multi-touch support even in high-humidity or gloved environments. In addition, it offers IP66-rated M12-type I/O connectors and a wide range power input of 9V to 36V DC with over-voltage, over-current, and reverse polarity protection. It is capable of operating under wide temperature settings from -20°C to +70°C and withstanding vibration up to 1.5Grms.
- • The IP69K rating ensures the highest degree of protection in food processing environments where sanitation and cleanliness are required.
- • The use of stainless steel materials has high anti-corrosion efficiency.
- • The surface should be easy to clean, featuring a seamless flat design that prevents the buildup of any dirt on the bezels.
- • Waterproof connectors allow complete protection during the cleaning process.
