When a panel PC might be a better choice than a rugged tablet.

In addition to rugged tablets, Minno sells an excellent line of panel PCs for industry. What’s a Panel PC and how is it different from a tablet? We’re glad you asked!

A panel PC is a computer that combines a flat panel touch-screen display and a computing unit into a single, all-in-one mounted device designed for use in industrial environments.

Panel PCs are often used in applications such as machine control, process control, and automation, and they are rugged with fan-less designs enabling them to withstand harsh conditions such as vibration, dust, and extreme temperatures.

Panel PCs differ from tablets because they are connected directly to a DC power source rather than relying on a battery. While rugged tablets are designed to perform in extreme temperature conditions, the capacity of batteries will diminish somewhat under very high and very low temperatures. In extreme heat — in a closed, parked car on a hot summer day, for instance — thermal runaway (an exothermic reaction) can destroy the battery and even ignite it. So, a panel PC may be a better alternative in extreme temperature conditions where DC power is available.

There are several advantages that a panel PC may have over a rugged tablet, depending on the specific application and use case. Advantages include:

Rugged tablets have advantages such as portability, ease of use, and battery life, so the choice between a panel PC or a rugged tablet will depend on the application’s specific requirements.
