A computer failure can lead to costly downtime or product damage: therefore, automation applications are of great importance. It is essential that the applied industrial PCs are built from reliable computer components. Arcobel provides these industrial embedded solutions for sectors such as machine building and process automation. With our experience and expertise, we are able to translate modern, complex IT challenges into the right embedded solution. Our product range includes IoT-ready industrial computer platforms, which can significantly reduce both your time to market (TTM) and total cost of ownership (TCO). We supply both standard and project-specific industrial systems, including panel PCs, fanless box PCs, 19" Vision systems, and electronic packaging.


Panel PCs

Industry 4.0 demands user-friendly industrial panel PCs that are intuitive to operate. For various customers in the machine-building sector, we developed panel PCs used for controlling their MES or SCADA applications. These ruggedized systems are resistant to the prevailing conditions of an industrial production environment. Depending on the application, these panel PCs are equipped with either a capacitive touch or resistive touch screen.

Fanless Box PCs

Industrial environmental conditions vary depending on the application. These conditions are important factors when selecting the most suitable industrial PC. In industrial environments, extreme temperatures, shocks, and vibrations are common. A rugged fanless box PC with high temperature resistance offers a solution. Arcobel offers a wide selection of fanless embedded box PCs for such conditions. Despite the fanless design, these systems operate optimally under extreme temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +85 °C.


19” Vision Systems

Automated inspections are now common in all industries. 19” Vision systems are used to identify the presence/absence, deviations, colours, and characteristics of products. In the industry, this optimizes product quality and ensures high product safety. In addition to standard 19” Vision systems, Arcobel also provides custom solutions. Our engineers are capable of developing a 100% form-fit system for you in collaboration with our suppliers. Components like PCB or I/O modules can be fully developed according to your needs.

Electronic Packaging

In addition to board-level solutions, we also provide electronic packaging systems for any conceivable configuration. Our supplier Heitec is known for its industrial expertise in electronic packaging. All standard Heitec components comply with IEC 60297 series standards. This allows these Heitec components to be integrated into multi-vendor, industrial embedded systems. In collaboration with Heitec, our engineers can develop special-purpose solutions for your ICT project.
Based on our expertise and experience, we advise you on the selection of suitable components and suppliers.

Panel PCs for Production Monitoring

For one of our clients in the food industry, we provided a solution for their MES application (MES = monitoring and controlling production processes with a continuous character) with 25 panel PCs. The panel PC systems are fully IP65, allowing for easy cleaning. Additionally, we incorporated an RFID scanner so that the units are only accessible to authorized users with an RFID chip. This concept is now being implemented for a large number of companies in the food & beverage industry.

What do we use for this?

19” Racks for Automated Production Monitoring
For a large multinational customer, we assembled a 2U 19” rack that can be delivered identically over a long period. This customer uses the systems as part of a production line system to automatically test end products. A key requirement for this system was that all I/Os had to be located at the front of the system.

Our Example 19" Rackmount Systems

Box Computer for Specific Weed Control

Farmers wanted a robot that could automatically recognize and control weeds even in full-field applications like lettuce, sugar beets, or celeriac. One of our customers sought an industrial PC that could be connected to a tractor without the need for modifications. It also required a 3G connection for remote service. The industrial computer controls 4 high-resolution cameras and also handles image recognition. As a result, weeds can be detected with high speed and precision. The device recognizes the crop and will only weed where no crop is present, leaving the crop unharmed.
