Modular Touch Panel Computers

Advantech’s offering of modular and configurable Touch Panel Computers enables the user to standardize on preferred PC configurations, while having the flexibility to implement different screen sizes on the units. Advantech’s Computing Box Modules are I/O-intensive and driven by either an Intel® Atom™ E3940, Celeron® J3455 Processor, 6th Gen. Intel® Core™ or 8th Gen. Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 CPU as your processing option. The interchangeable display modules range from 12″ XGA to 15″ XGA, 17″ SXGA, 15.6″ FHD, 18.5″ HD, 21.5″ FHD and 23.8″ FHD, providing the user with a myriad of screen sizes, resolution options and touch technologies.

What are Modular Touch Panel Computers?

Modular Touch Panel Computers are industrial or commercial computing devices that combine a touchscreen interface with a modular design, allowing flexible customization and easy upgrades. They integrate a display and computing hardware into a single unit, often used for human-machine interfaces (HMIs), control systems, kiosks, or embedded applications.

Typical Applications for Modular Touch Panel Computers

Modular touch panel computers are widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, building management systems, retail kiosks, medical devices, and transportation systems where flexible, reliable, and user-friendly interfaces are essential.

Main Features for Touch Panel Computers

  • Touchscreen Interface: Provides direct, intuitive user interaction through touch input (resistive, capacitive, or other touch technologies).
  • Modular Design: Components such as CPU modules, I/O interfaces, communication ports, and storage can be added, removed, or upgraded independently.
  • Industrial Grade: Often ruggedized for harsh environments, with features like dust/water resistance, wide temperature range, and vibration tolerance.
  • Versatile Connectivity: Supports various communication protocols and interfaces for integration with machinery, sensors, and networks.
  • Customizable: Users can tailor hardware and software configurations to specific application needs.
