Infotainment Computer Systems
Infotainment applications often have different needs for their computer systems, and this has led us to develop a wide range of solutions all based on key requirements, such as:
- Fault Resilience
- Scalability and Flexibility
- Touch Screen Technologies
- Longevity of Supply
Our customers are already using our systems to provide key services and products, for example; home entertainment systems, POS terminals, digital signage and car multi-media systems to name but a few. Reliability is paramount in these applications and our extensive infotainment knowledge is invaluable in ensuring an appropriate and cost-effective range of computer products is developed.
An In-House thermal test chamber, often used by our customers as part of their test requirements, ensures that the solutions we provide have been designed and engineered to meet the toughest of conditions.
Built to Last: Industrial Computers Ensure Reliable Infotainment in Harsh Environments
Infotainment systems are now commonly found everywhere from shopping centres, airports, yachts and train stations, offering everything from directions, tickets and food, to product information and advertising. These systems have to survive significant wear and tear, liquid spillages, and temperature extremes. So, how do they stay operational?
The answer lies in a combination of robust hardware and clever engineering. Touchscreens, the primary interface, are made from chemically strengthened glass to resist scratches and cracks. Our panel PCs employ projected capacitive touch (PCT) technology, which is more durable and less susceptible to damage than traditional resistive touchscreens. They are tough and rugged, making them perfect for most locations and conditions. Solid-state drives (SSDs) replace traditional hard drives, eliminating moving parts that can fail under constant use and vibration. These drives are also more resistant to temperature fluctuations. The internal computer itself is often housed in a ruggedised enclosure, protecting it from dust, moisture, and impacts. Our industrial panel PCs also come with an IP65 rating meaning they are completely dust-tight and can withstand hose directed water from any direction.
