What It Is (and What It Is Not)

أن Industrial Android Panel PC is a controlled Panel PC platform variant for HMI and dedicated terminals. It is selected when system scope is well-defined and long-term stability depends on image control, I/O consistency, and lifecycle governance.

  • Best fit: task-focused terminals, UI-driven workflows, controlled deployments, long service life.
  • Not a fit: multi-software PC workloads, heavy computation, frequent scope changes without change control.
Where it fits in the Panel PC family
Android Panel PC: dedicated function + version locking + UI/workflow control
Windows Panel PC: PC software ecosystem + legacy compatibility + multi-application workloads

Purpose-built for controlled HMI integration: locked OS image + stable I/O mapping + service replacement planning.

Who Chooses Android Panel PCs

System Integrators (SI)

Need a stable terminal platform with defined I/O mapping for field deployment, maintenance, and replacement planning.

Typical asks: kiosk/lockdown, watchdog, version lock, stable connectors, service access constraints.
OEM Engineering Teams

Need mechanical consistency and a controlled software baseline across multi-year production batches.

Typical asks: stable BOM, ECO/PCN, validation artifacts, documented integration, predictable replacements.
Controlled Deployments

Deployments where terminals are selected as part of a controlled system—not interchangeable consumer devices.

Typical asks: traceability, documented changes, stable images, field reliability in long-life installations.

Integration Note

Stable I/O mapping is part of controlled deployments.

We confirm connector placement, harness constraints, and service access during project kickoff to avoid rework.

Android Panel PC vs. x86 Panel PC (Windows / Linux)

In industrial projects, the real decision is not between operating systems, but between platform architecture and system responsibility.

  • Dedicated or task-focused industrial terminals
  • UI-centric workflows with controlled user interaction
  • System image locking as a core deployment requirement
  • Lower system complexity when application scope is fixed
  • Clear separation between hardware/system and application ownership

Typically selected when long-term stability, controlled updates, and simplified field behavior are more important than PC flexibility.

You are here
x86 Panel PC (Windows / Linux)
  • Same hardware platform supporting Windows or Linux OS
  • Best for PC software, middleware, or custom Linux stacks
  • Higher flexibility for multi-application environments
  • Greater responsibility for OS, drivers, and long-term maintenance
  • Suitable for projects requiring legacy software compatibility

Typically selected when application complexity, software reuse, or engineering-level OS control is required.

Engineering note: Android and x86 Panel PCs are not interchangeable solutions. The correct choice depends on application scope, lifecycle expectations, and how much system-level responsibility your team plans to own.

Lifecycle Governance: Version Lock & Change Control

Long-term stability is achieved through controlled baselines—not uncontrolled updates.

  • Baseline definition: Android version + kernel/BSP + driver set + I/O mapping
  • Version locking: factory image control aligned to your validation workflow
  • Update strategy: OTA model defined by ownership + validation gates (project-defined)
  • Change control: ECO process for engineering changes; PCN notifications when applicable
  • Replacement planning: stable mechanical fit and serviceability across production batches

Typical planning horizon: projects exceeding 3–5 years require explicit lifecycle assumptions.

Evidence Available (Project-Based)
  • Image/baseline summary (version identifiers)
  • Validation checklist & test summary (as defined)
  • Traceable BOM & revision tracking
  • Inspection records (IQC / IPQC / OQC) as required
  • Compliance docs or report summaries (NDA if needed)

Availability depends on model/configuration and project qualification.

Industrial-Grade Hardware Design

Designed for continuous operation and controlled deployments—where field stability matters more than lab-only specs.

android board

Industrial architecture designed for continuous duty and stable integration.

  • Thermal strategy aligned with 24/7 operation
  • Component selection for service-life stability
  • EMC/ESD considerations (deployment-driven)
  • Mechanical design for mounting consistency
  • Long-term availability planning (project-based)

This platform is intended for multi-year industrial deployment, not short-term consumer use.

Customization Capabilities (Project-Oriented)

Customization is managed through engineering review and change control to protect long-term stability.

Hardware
  • Size / brightness / touch tuning
  • Cover glass options (AG/AR/AF as required)
  • Sealing / front IP approach (project-defined)
  • Mounting & bracket adaptations
  • I/O expansion by application
System (Android)
  • Android version selection & locking
  • BSP & driver scope (per peripheral list)
  • Kiosk/lockdown & boot customization
  • Performance tuning (project-defined)
  • OTA strategy definition (ownership + validation)
Program Support
  • Engineering intake & feasibility review
  • Sample & validation planning
  • Pilot → mass production scaling
  • BOM stabilization & change control
  • Supply planning for service life

Responsibility Boundary (Manufacturer vs Application Owner)

Clear boundaries reduce integration risk and protect long-term deployment stability.

  • We deliver: industrial hardware + system-level support (baseline image, drivers per scope, integration notes)
  • You deliver: application software and business logic ownership
  • We align: architecture assumptions, I/O mapping, update responsibilities, validation gates

This division supports stable delivery across prototype → pilot → mass production.

Boundary = Stability

Good fit: defined functions + controlled images + shared validation plan.

Bad fit: shifting scope + uncontrolled updates + unclear ownership.

Project Evaluation Checklist (Send This for Fast Engineering Review)

Clear inputs reduce iterations and prevent avoidable integration risks.

  • Application type + industry (what the terminal does)
  • Operating environment (temperature / EMC / duty cycle)
  • Expected lifecycle (years) + replacement expectations
  • Display/touch requirements (size / brightness / glove-wet)
  • Interfaces & I/O list (RS232/485/CAN/USB/LAN/GPIO)
  • Peripheral list (scanner/printer/camera/sensors) + models if available
  • Mounting constraints + drawings / cutout dimensions
  • Update strategy preference (ownership, validation gates)
  • Target volume (pilot + annual estimate) + schedule

Engineering evaluation should come before procurement decisions.

 

Fast evaluation = fewer iterations

Send drawings + I/O list + environment notes to receive a configuration direction and risk items list.

For RFQ, please include size/brightness, interface list, mounting method, operating temperature, and target delivery date (if urgent).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. In industrial projects, application software is typically developed and maintained by the customer or system integrator. We focus on hardware manufacturing and system-level support to provide a stable baseline for your application.

Yes—when designed with industrial-grade hardware and a thermal strategy aligned to your duty cycle. System stability also depends on controlled software updates and a defined baseline.

Yes. Version locking is common for controlled deployments. The locked baseline typically includes Android version, kernel/BSP, driver set, and I/O mapping—defined during project evaluation and aligned with your validation workflow.

We define the OTA strategy as part of the system scope (responsibilities, validation gates, and update risk controls). Whether update hosting/MDM is included depends on project requirements and the ownership model.

Not universally. Android is strong for task-focused, controlled terminals. Windows remains a better choice for complex computing, multi-task environments, and legacy PC software requirements.

Send your application description, environment conditions, lifecycle expectations, display/touch requirements, mounting constraints, and a complete I/O + peripheral list. If available, attach drawings and reference photos of the installation environment.

We focus on hardware and system-level support. Application development is typically handled by the customer or system integrator to keep full ownership of business logic and long-term maintenance.
