Our customer, a well-known machine builder working on behalf of a leading medical test & measurement company, required industrial
panel PCs to replace existing equipment in order to reduce down-time and enhance operational capabilities.
Owing to the existing equipment not being fit-for-purpose, the end-user was experiencing constant change and disruption during their test & measurement processes, meaning that productivity levels were declining.
Any
panel PCs we recommended needed to be robust, with a long-term supported chipset and have a medical look and feel to compliment the surroundings.
A flexible solution
Working closely with our customer to understand the pain points, we were able to recommend a multi-purpose computing system with touch-base LCD panel by leading manufacturer
Advantech.
The UTC-315 from
Advantech is an all-in-one computing system with a touch screen LCD panel and built in Intel Celeron
J1900 processor, with the added option of a white bezel to match the customers’ existing machinery.
On delivery of the first system, our customer experienced long integration and configuration times of up to 2 hours per system as they had to ensure that each
panel PC was configured to the right specifications.
As multiple systems were required for the initial project, we were able to offer our
BTOS (
Build To Order Service), utilising our in-house ‘golden imaging’ service. Our experienced technical team pre-loaded the application software and settings and documented the variables in our system build specification.
After thorough test and quality measures we created the ‘golden image’ with OS, software and settings pre-loaded on to each
panel PC integrating the existing software to reduce deployment time and to provide peace of mind for any future orders of the same type, we were also able to secure a fixed price-point between the customer and
Advantech.
