System integrator and value-added hardware provider Bressner Technology has expanded its portfolio of touch panel solutions with the new Orca Pro series. The model range consists of fanless Full IP69K panel PCs with stainless steel chassis, available in 22- or 24-inch screen diagonals. An Intel Tigerlake Core i5-1145G7E processor is integrated to meet Windows 11 standard requirements. The units are designed specifically for industrial operations, chemical labs, and food processing industries.

According to the company, a SUS316-standardised stainless steel enclosure is part of the Orca Pro series’ basic equipment and protects the devices from oxidation and corrosion caused by water or acidic/alkaline liquids. The brushed stainless steel makes it difficult for germs and bacteria to spread, which is especially beneficial for industries with high hygiene guidelines, it added. All Orca panel PC models are IP67 certified as standard and can even achieve up to IP69K through optional configuration and adjustments to the housing structure. This maximum upgrade even allows the operator terminals to withstand cleaning with high-pressure devices as well as steam jets.

“There are strict requirements for enclosures and hardware equipment in the food and beverage industry, as well as for manufacturing and factory automation machines. The devices have to be sanitised under extreme conditions and still remain fully operable,” explained Markus Schumacher, Senior Account Manager for panel PCs and touch displays at Bressner Technology. “The Orca Pro panel PC models are up to these challenges while featuring a state-of-the-art tech build,” he added.
