The food industry has very high hygiene requirements. The panel PCs and monitors that are used must be very resistant, as they are regularly cleaned and disinfected.
Due to these requirements, there are a number of features that monitors and panel PCs must have for use in the food industry. The housings should be made of stainless steel, as this makes them extremely corrosion-resistant.
The housing and interfaces must be protected in accordance with protection class IP65. The appropriate touchscreen technology must be selected for operation, which may be carried out with protective gloves.
