Advantech launches widescreen multi-touch flat panel monitor

October 2014 Industrial Computer Hardware

Advantech’s Industrial Automation Group has announced the launch of a new flat panel monitor specifically designed to meet the flexible demands of a wide range of applications and especially in areas which require continuous cleaning. The 390 mm wide screen 16:9 monitor provides 40% more screen area than 4:3 displays and can therefore display more information.

So that it can be cleaned and operated in a wide range of environments the FPM-7151W is IP66 certified so that it is dust-tight and protected against jets of water. Furthermore, with the addition of its multi-touch capabilities, through the use of a USB interface, 10 touch points can be programmed to provide even greater control and viewing of the information shown.

As with all Advantech flat-panel monitors, the FPM-7151W can be easily mounted on panels or walls to provide a range of options for any industrial environment.
