The panels combine robust hardware with powerful Wonderware human-machine interface (HMI) software to provide a comprehensive solution for supervising and managing industrial and manufacturing operations.
The new compact panel computers offer superior ease of installation and a competitive entry-level price point by bundling a subset of the latest HMI runtime functionality of InTouch 10.0 software with rugged, industrial touch-screen operator panels running Microsoft Windows CE v6.0 software.
The panels are offered in a range of screen sizes and are manufactured to comply with various industrial environment ratings including NEMA 4X/IP 66 and Class 1, Div 2.

In contrast to proprietary operator interface panels, these compact panel computers enable customers to benefit from a common visualisation strategy from the smallest devices to a network of servers or hundreds of clients all operating and managed with a common, easy to use Wonderware software toolset.
The compact panels are configured and managed via the Wonderware Development Studio, which is designed to enable IT and engineering teams to collaborate on software application modelling, development, change management and deployment across the full range of Wonderware software applications.
These applications include the latest InTouch 10.0 HMI software, System Platform 3.0 software and ArchestrA technology-based applications modules from Wonderware.
Compact panels complement existing industrial computer offerings from HardwarePT and are designed for original equipment manufacturers, machine builders and customers requiring a local, yet networked panel-type solution.
Via its 'Application Ready Platforms' offerings, HardwarePT now provides a single, unified software platform for all plant visualisation applications with universal data connectivity, rich extensibility and support for a wide breadth of the latest modern hardware including multi-core servers, desktops, touch panels, box PCs, tablets, thin-clients, and now, Microsoft CE-based panel computers.
"These compact panel offerings enable customers to utilise InTouch 10.0 software consistently across all devices in a plant at an extraordinary value" said Louise Knowles, HardwarePT marketing manager.
HardwarePT provides a single source for customers by providing the world's leading HMI software fully integrated, pre-installed, licensed and compatibility-tested with these and other best-of-breed industrial computers.
Its innovative software approach with ArchestrA-based applications enables companies to significantly improve their bottom line by retaining current application engineering investments and delivering new efficiencies with rapid standardisation of software solutions across a customer organisation.
"These compact panel computers include a bundled package of hardware and runtime software, which is ready to use right out of the box" added Knowles: "These computers will enable engineers to save time by creating applications in only one development environment instead of using multiple proprietary operator interface products.
Additionally, their design encourages lower training time and improve HMI familiarity and accuracy through the use of one common user-friendly interface".
