How can panel computers operate reliably in harsh industrial environments?

Moxa Inc. has launched Moxa MPC-3000 Series panel computers. The MPC-3000 panel computers are available in multiple screen sizes and come with features suited for industrial applications. They meet industry certifications for operation in challenging environments.

According to Business Research Insights, the global industrial panel PC market is expected to grow, with the market size projected to increase from USD 1.11 billion in 2024 to USD 1.54 billion by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 4.2%. The Asia-Pacific is leading this growth due to rising demand for computing solutions in industrial sectors. The MPC-3000 Series industrial panel PCs offer industrial-grade features designed to meet this market demand.

Reliable and Versatile Industrial Computing Solutions

The MPC-3000 panel PCs, powered by Intel Atom x6000E processors, offer a range of options with six distinct series featuring screen sizes ranging from 7 inches to 15.6 inches. Built for industrial environments with challenging conditions, these panel PCs include touchscreen interfaces, sunlight-readable displays, and support for wide-temperature operations,  allowing use in outdoor environments. They are designed to function in demanding applications such as oil and gas fields, marine operations, and other industrial settings.

The modular design of the durable panel PCs facilitates maintenance in industrial settings. With a cableless design on front and rear panels, it simplifiescomponent replacement. This modular architecture supports efficient maintenance, helping to limit disruptions during servicing.

Certified for Key Industries and Compliant with Industry Standards for Safe Operations

Designed for industries such as oil and gas, marine, and outdoor applications, the MPC-3000 panel PCs meet certification standards for hazardous and demanding environments. Certifications include Class I Division 2, ATEX Zone 2, and IECEx Zone 2 for hazardous locations, as well as DNV, IEC 60945, and IACS standards for maritime operations.

These certifications, along with the panel PCs’ durable design, support reliable operation and safety compliance,  making them suitable for use in hazardous and maritime applications.
