With advanced 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and DDR5 memory, the system delivers robust computing capacity while maintaining durability and long lifecycle support.

Now, InnoAioT will provide an introduction to the WPC-185WDC-12th waterproof stainless steel panel PC for your reference.

What is the Working Principle of a Waterproof Touch Screen Computer?

First, the waterproof touchscreen computer is connected to various external devices through industrial M12 waterproof connectors, ensuring secure and reliable data transmission. With its fanless sealed structure and wide voltage input, it can operate in fluctuating industrial power environments.

Then, the system receives control or display data from sensors or host platforms. It's an 18.5" optical bonded PCAP touchscreen with 1920x1080 FHD resolution that allows for intuitive and responsive HMI control, even with gloves or in wet environments. Combined with Intel® 12th Gen Alder Lake-U CPUs and up to 64GB DDR5 RAM, the system processes real-time data effectively and drives responsive industrial applications.

 
How Many Key Parts are Included in the Waterproof Touch Screen Computer Design?

Generally speaking, the waterproof touchscreen computer is built from the following critical components:

• • Touch Display Panel: The 18.5” FHD display adopts LED backlight with 50,000-hour lifetime and PCAP optical bonding touch technology. It provides wide viewing angles (85°/85°/85°/85°) and ≥7H surface hardness for superior clarity and scratch resistance.
• • Stainless Steel Housing: The housing is made of SUS304 or SUS316 stainless steel, offering full IP66/IP69K protection, corrosion resistance, and compliance with hygiene standards.
• • Processing Unit: Powered by Intel® Core™ i3-1215U or i5-1235U CPUs with integrated UHD or Iris Xe Graphics, and supports up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD, the device handles industrial workloads efficiently.
• • Industrial-grade I/O: Featuring M12 waterproof connectors for USB, LAN, COM, HDMI (optional), and DC input, ensuring secure and rugged connectivity in wet and dusty environments.
• • Mounting and Power: Supports wall, VESA, yoke, and stand mounting. Accepts 9V~36V wide-range DC power input with OVP, OCP, and RPP protection.
