2. Washdown-Ready Production Line Monitor

Installed in manufacturing environments subject to moisture and dust. The analog resistive touchscreen allows flawless operation by workers wearing protective gloves, while the sealed front panel withstands mild cleaning.

Problem Solved

The front panel's IP65 rating effectively seals against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, protecting control electronics in demanding shop-floor conditions.

3. Local Control for Water Treatment Skids

Serves as a localized control and monitoring terminal for remote filtration skids, offering localized data logging via the USB Host port. Operators can download historical trends and system alarms directly to a USB flash drive.

Problem Solved

Addresses the lack of constant remote SCADA connectivity by providing localized historical data storage and retrieval capabilities right at the machine level via USB memory.
