Industrial Panel PCs & Touch Screen Computers · FrontOps^™

Capacitive (P-CAP): 5- or 10-point multi-touch, gesture support, usable with thin gloves, and a more abrasion-resistant glass surface. Ideal for modern HMI, information display and Industry 4.0 scenarios. 5-wire resistive touch: single-point, triggered by a stylus tip, thick gloves or any object, with more thorough water resistance. Ideal for extreme environments and rugged applications. Most FrontOps series ship with capacitive touch by default; resistive versions are available on request.

IP65: fully dust-tight + protection against water jets from any direction (no immersion). Suitable for workshops, outdoor use and generally damp environments. IP67: fully dust-tight + temporary immersion (1 m, 30 minutes). Suitable for harsher washdown or heavy outdoor rain. All FrontOps front panels are rated IP65, and the CleanOps G series achieves whole-unit IP69K (the highest washdown rating).

5-point is enough for ordinary HMI, menu navigation and single-finger dragging. 10-point suits multi-gesture collaboration, large-screen graphical operation, CAD / engineering drawing review and two operators working at once. FrontOps standard models default to 10-point to leave room for future expansion.

300-350 nits (standard): clear enough for indoor, workshop and server-room lighting. 500 nits (semi-bright): near windows or semi-outdoor. 800-1000 nits (outdoor high-bright): direct sunlight, outdoor kiosks and fuel stations. Higher brightness draws more power, so choose according to your environment.

Key differences: (1) Protection — IP65 front panel vs. none; (2) Touch — glove-capable / multi-stylus vs. fingertip only; (3) I/O — multiple COM/USB/LAN/isolated IO vs. USB-C only; (4) Power — 9-36V wide industrial input vs. USB-PD only; (5) Long-term supply — 3-5 years vs. discontinued in 6-12 months; (6) MTBF — 60K+ h vs. undisclosed. Consumer devices simply do not belong on the factory floor.

FrontOps modular panel PCs use the FlexCore™ three-board architecture (i-Core compute board + i-Function feature board + i-Connect connectivity board). The CPU platform, feature modules and I/O interfaces can be upgraded independently — the same enclosure offers a choice of four CPUs: 12th Gen, 10th Gen, J6412 or J1900. Customers reuse the chassis and touch glass and upgrade only the core board, sharply cutting BOM cost and EOL risk.

FrontOps standard models support three mounting methods: panel mount / VESA wall mount / desktop stand. Panel mounting uses clips or screws to fix the unit into a cabinet cutout, leaving the front panel flush with the cabinet face and IP65-protected. Refer to each series datasheet for exact dimensions.

AI panel PCs (with NPU or GPU): quality-inspection vision, defect detection, and face / workwear recognition. RFID panel PCs (with integrated UHF reader): warehouse picking, production-station identity, equipment inspection and asset stocktaking. Both are signature FrontOps configurations — contact sales for a custom solution.
