In manufacturing plants, cold stores and pharmaceutical laboratories, equipment must withstand much more than office computers. Constant exposure to water, moisture, dust and cleaning agents means that ordinary solutions fail. That is why an industrial computer is needed that combines reliability with the highest standards of hygiene – and the new SHIELD series is just that.
IEI Integration Corp., a renowned manufacturer of automation and industrial solutions, has unveiled its SHIELD line of industrial computers. These are rugged, steel operator panels designed specifically for environments where hygiene, resistance to working conditions and process safety are of paramount importance.
The SHIELD series includes models with 15.6‘, 18.5’ and 21.5" screens in Full HD resolution, offering versatility and flexibility in applications ranging from food production and cold chain logistics to pharmaceuticals and medicine.
Each SHIELD industrial computer is made of high-quality SUS 304 stainless steel, which not only ensures mechanical resistance but also facilitates the maintenance of the highest standards of cleanliness. The flat panel with a projected capacitive touch screen guarantees intuitive operation, even when wearing gloves.
The IP66-compliant enclosure protects against water, moisture and dust, and allows for safe high-pressure cleaning. This makes the SHIELD industrial computer ideal for production areas and sterile environments where the risk of contamination must be minimised.
The SHIELD series uses Intel® Atom® x7433RE / x7835RE processors and modern DDR5 memory, which guarantees energy-efficient and stable operation around the clock. Each industrial computer in this line can operate in extreme temperatures from -30°C to 55°C, and the wide DC 10-28V power supply range ensures resistance to voltage fluctuations in harsh industrial environments.
This makes SHIELD an industrial computer you can rely on regardless of the working environment.
The SHIELD industrial computer is equipped with extensive interfaces: two Intel® 2.5 GbE LAN ports, four USB ports, two isolated 2.0 kV COM ports, HDMI, as well as an isolated CANBUS and DIO port. Additional M.2 slots allow for the installation of Wi-Fi modules or SSD memory expansion.
With multiple mounting options – VESA, YOKE or desktop – the SHIELD industrial computer easily adapts to the needs of factories, control rooms and mobile workstations.
