The customer's existing Operator Interface Terminal (OIT) had reached End of Life (EOL), raising concerns about long-term product availability. Transitioning away from an EOL product is notoriously difficult. The client needed to find a modern, reliable touch interface that could seamlessly integrate with their existing "liquid analyzer equipment" without requiring a complete overhaul of their software or mechanical infrastructure. The challenge was sourcing a drop-in replacement that not only fit their immediate technical specifications but also promised the long-term reliability their Swedish manufacturing clients demanded.
Rising to the challenge, MACTRON supplied the WAM Series Panel Mount Touch Panel PC to seamlessly integrate into the facility's liquid analyzer environment. Engineered for resilience, these industrial-grade panel PCs are purpose-built as rugged, drop-in replacements for retiring Operator Interface Terminals (OITs) in harsh manufacturing conditions.
The WAM Series features a durable aluminum alloy housing and an IP65-rated water-resistant front panel capable of withstanding frequent washdowns. The system utilizes advanced PCAP touch technology to deliver accurate, responsive operation, seamlessly supporting operators using stylus inputs. Its fanless cooling architecture prevents dust, microbes, and airborne particles from circulating or clogging the internal components. To support the increasing integration of sophisticated factory tools, the unit offers versatile I/O connectivity—including a secure Phoenix-type connector with wide input voltage—and wireless options like Wi-Fi to streamline data logging.
MACTRON GROUP MAS/MAA110x Series offers three 10.95-inch rugged mobile platforms in one unified form factor—from efficient Windows computing to high-performance processing and versatile Android data collection.
