SIO Series: IP66/69K Washdown Touchscreen Computer 

The SIO Series is designed specifically for washdown environments, crucial in industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals. These panel PCs are housed in SUS316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance with an IP66/69K rating, ensuring they withstand rigorous cleaning processes. This blend of durability and ruggedness features such as the automatic pressure valve system, M12 IO connectors, and enable/disable touchscreen button allows the SIO Series to be a paramount solution in washdown rooms. The SIO Series also features standard optical bonding display and an automatic pressure valve system to prevent internal pressure changes. All of these design features push the SIO Series into the Specialized Edge, for its specific featured design for washdown rooms.

AIO Series: IP65 All In One Touchscreen Computer   

The All In One Front IP65 AIO series encapsulates performance and power  efficiency in human-machine interfaces (HMI). This series is ideally suited for retail kiosks and POS systems, where simplicity and reliability are key. With options for different configurations based on specific connectivity and performance needs, the AIO series supports seamless user experiences in diverse operational settings. While still offering a front IP65 rating design with different mounting options, the AIO Series can still be implemented on the factory floor, perfectly  allowing it to fit perfectly in the Industrial Edge. 

 

 

 

HIO Series: IP65 Open Frame Touchscreen Computer   

The HIO series stands out with its friendly open-frame design, providing extensive customization options for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This series is perfect for applications requiring a tailor-made approach, enabling seamless integration into larger systems without compromising on performance, power efficiency, and industrial-grade durability. The HIO Series also features the same computing performance  as the AIO Series, allowing it also to be positioned at the Industrial Edge.  

Premio’s industrial panel PCs are more than just hardware solutions; they are a gateway to optimizing industrial HMI integrations  across the spectrum of Industry 4.0 applications that require a touchscreen display. Whether through enhancing ruggedness, ensuring hygiene, simplifying user interactions, or enabling bespoke integration, these scalable industrial touchscreen computers address nuanced challenges in complex environments.
