Company Background
As a fully integrated food company based in the Midwest US, this organization provides a one-stop service for food procurement, processing, and shipping. With large-scale operations, it supplies meat to food service providers, retailers, and manufacturers. Committed to quality, it upholds strict standards across its supply chain, especially in warehouse management, ensuring efficiency in packaging and distribution. Through continuous innovation and expansion, the company consistently develops new products and enhances its warehouse capabilities across the United States.
The Challenges
IP69K-certified panel PC for high-pressure washdowns
Strict and structured warehouse management has always been a key differentiator for the company, as it never compromises on hygiene standards. In food warehouses, frequent high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns are required to meet strict hygiene and safety regulations. However, standard computing devices often fail under these extreme conditions, leading to frequent replacements and operational downtime. To address this challenge, the company sought an IP69K-certified panel PC, capable of withstanding intense water pressure, high temperatures, and chemical exposure without compromising performance or durability.
Panel PCs preventing condensation and fogging
In the demanding environment of food warehouses, temperature fluctuations and high humidity create the perfect conditions for condensation and fogging. Screens become obscured, reducing visibility and disrupting operations. The customer’s previous panel PCs struggled against this relentless moisture buildup, leaving operators frustrated as they battled blurred displays and unresponsive touchscreens. Clear visibility and seamless interaction were essential, but their existing technology fell short, making every shift a challenge.
Fully waterproof I/O to ensure reliability
Washdowns are essential for maintaining hygiene, but with every blast of high-pressure water, ports and connectors become vulnerable. Water and debris seep into openings, causing corrosion, connectivity failures, and costly maintenance. The customer needed more than just protection—they needed a fully waterproof I/O solution that could withstand these harsh conditions.
Specific screen size with flexible mounting
Seamless integration with existing assembly machines was a top priority, requiring a non-widescreen format to ensure a perfect fit. Each workstation had its own unique setup, making flexible mounting options essential for smooth installation across different layouts. The customer needed a compact yet versatile design, one that could adapt to various configurations while maintaining ergonomic placement and ease of use.
The Solution
Premio SIO-W215-J1900 stainless steel IP66/IP69K washdown touchscreen computer
Designed for the most demanding food processing environments, the Premio SIO-W215-J1900 is an IP66/IP69K-rated all-in-one touchscreen computer engineered for seamless integration in hygienic settings. Its high-resolution display delivers exceptional control and automation capabilities, enabling operators to manage processes with precision. With its sealed SUS316 stainless steel enclosure, the SIO Series is built to withstand high-pressure washdowns, harsh cleaning agents, and extreme industrial conditions, ensuring long-term reliability in food production facilities.
Optical bonding for clear, fog-free display
The optical bonding technology in the SIO-W215-J1900 eliminates air gaps between the touchscreen and display, preventing moisture buildup and ensuring a crystal-clear, highly responsive interface. This enhances screen durability, readability in bright environments, and precise touch accuracy, making operations smoother and more efficient.
M12 locking I/O for waterproof, stable connections
One of the key features of the Premio SIO-W215-J1900 is its industrial-grade M12 locking connectors, which provide fully waterproof and vibration-resistant I/O, ensuring secure and stable data transmission even during rigorous washdowns. With a tight, locking mechanism, these connectors prevent accidental disconnections and maintain uninterrupted performance in harsh environments. The M12 connectors support a variety of industrial connections, including Ethernet, USB, and serial interfaces, allowing seamless integration with network systems, sensors, and automation equipment.
Versatile mounting for flexible installation
In order to adapt to various workstations and assembly line setups, the SIO-W215-J1900’s versatile mounting solution ensures a perfect fit. It supports panel, VESA, and yoke mounting, allowing seamless integration into different machine layouts and workstation configurations. This adaptability enhances ergonomic placement, improves operator convenience, and simplifies installation, making it an efficient and flexible solution for industrial environments.
Compact 15.6” design with fanless cooling
Space efficiency is essential in fast-paced production settings, and the 15.6” compact design of the SIO-W215-J1900 follows standardized sizing, making it an ideal fit for tight workspaces and integrated machinery setups. This ensures seamless compatibility with existing systems, minimizing installation challenges and reducing downtime. Its slim bezel and fanless cooling system enable silent operation while preventing dust accumulation, enhancing long-term reliability even in harsh industrial environments.
