What is an Industrial Panel PC?

An industrial panel PC is a ruggedized all-in-one computing solution that combines a touchscreen display, embedded processor, and a sealed enclosure into a single, space-saving device. Designed for deployment in demanding environments, industrial panel PCs are the interface between operators and automated systems in manufacturing, healthcare, and mission-critical applications.

Unlike conventional desktop setups or consumer-grade all-in-ones, an industrial panel PC is purpose-built for harsh conditions, offering superior resistance to dust, water, vibration, and temperature extremes — all while maintaining continuous 24/7 uptime.

Features of Panel PCs

Regarding performance, modern panel PCs can be powered by Intel® Celeron processors or Core™ i7 CPUs, with support for DDR4 or DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSDs, and expandable I/O such as COM, GPIO, CANBus, and LAN ports. They are often deployed as part of SCADA systems, MES platforms, or OEM machinery, where uptime, reliability, and integration flexibility are mission-critical.

Panel PCs are available in a range of screen sizes (typically from 7” to 27”), touchscreen types (resistive for gloves, PCAP for precision and multi-touch), and mounting options (flush panel mount, VESA, or arm mount) to suit a wide variety of industrial use cases.

What to look for when choosing an Industrial Panel PC?

Teguar’s industrial panel PCs are engineered from the ground up to deliver exceptional performance, long-term reliability, and deployment flexibility. Built to meet the high expectations of engineers and system integrators, our solutions combine advanced industrial design with extensive customization options to match your exact needs.

Fanless Design with Passive Cooling

Each Teguar industrial panel PC features a 100% fanless architecture with a passive cooling system, ensuring silent operation and preventing dust ingress. With no moving parts, our systems are ideal for vibration-prone or sanitary environments where reliability is paramount.

Optically Bonded High-Brightness Displays

Our industrial panel PCs use optically bonded or direct bonded displays with high brightness ratings up to 1,000 nits, delivering crisp, clear visibility in bright industrial lighting or outdoor conditions. Optical bonding improves durability and eliminates internal reflections — a must-have for rugged HMI applications.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support

Select Teguar models feature PoE+ capability, allowing for both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies wiring, reduces installation costs, and is especially beneficial in mobile or space-restricted deployments.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Teguar industrial panel PCs are built for extreme environments, with options that operate from -20°C to 60°C, enabling deployment in cold storage, outdoor kiosks, and high-heat production lines.

Industrial Touchscreen Options

Choose between projected capacitive (PCAP) for multitouch accuracy or resistive touch for gloved operation. Each screen is impact-resistant and rated for long-term use in demanding environments.

IP65/IP66 Protection and Rugged Housing

Our front bezels are IP65 or IP66 rated, offering full protection against dust and liquid spray. Enclosures are available in cast aluminum or stainless steel (304/316), making them suitable for washdown environments and hygienic zones such as food processing or cleanrooms.

100% Intel Embedded Platform for Long-Term Availability

Teguar industrial panel PCs are built with Intel embedded platform components only — including CPUs, chipsets, and Ethernet controllers. These components are part of Intel's embedded roadmap, which means your system will remain available for up to 10 years without surprise EOL (end-of-life) changes.

This long lifecycle support gives OEMs and engineers a critical edge:

  • Stable system builds across multi-year deployments
  • Reduced need for costly redesigns
  • Easier long-term certification and regulatory approvals
  • Simplified maintenance, training, and spare part management

Whether you're deploying hundreds of units across a plant or designing a regulated OEM device, long-term availability ensures your hardware investment is protected.

Customization to Fit Your Application

Over 50% of our customers require some level of customization to their industrial panel PC solution. At Teguar, we specialize in tailoring our off-the-shelf platforms to your exact specifications, including:

  • Custom I/O (COM, GPIO, CANBus, USB, PoE, DisplayPort, etc.)
  • Unique display specs (brightness, bonding, coatings, or sizing)
  • Performance tuning (Intel Celeron to Core i7 CPUs, RAM, SSD)
  • Operating system and software imaging
  • Medical or industrial certifications (UL, CE, FCC, IEC 60601-1)
  • Custom branding and labeling for OEMs

Whether you’re an automation engineer building next-gen production lines or a medical device OEM needing long-lifecycle hardware, we deliver reliable and application-specific industrial panel PCs.
