This device should be your BEST PARTNER in any of the FOOD & BEVERAGE PROCESSING!

Since 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture has provided support to people around the world through programs to improve their food quality, as well as to increase the productive capacity of farmers in the more than 45 countries benefited by these programs around Asia, Africa and South and Central America.

“Food for Progress” is a program designed and carried out by the United States Department of Agriculture, whose objective is to boost agricultural production and improve access to food markets; and needs financing improved practices with advanced technologies.

USDA’s partnership with private sector organizations, local governments, and local producers and businesses is to help build more equitable and resilient food systems, sustainably boost production capacity to combat food insecurity, and increase farmer incomes, while improving their ability to reduce and adapt to climate change.

This year, the USDA will donate 240,000 metric tons of commodities, worth $129.6 million, in an effort to generate income for farmers and improve their agricultural working conditions by standardizing and improving the quality of their technological infrastructure.

When we are talking about technological infrastructure, we must to talk about the need to modernize the equipment used food processing, and that perhaps could be taken as having an industrial monitor in which to be able to visualize in real time the different values permanently for long periods of time, and of course that may be useful, but why settle with just a monitor? Actually if we want to get a proper industrial tool to make more efficient our workspace without any doubt we must to take a look to a Panel PC because beyond that just visualize data, if we truly want to be at the edge of the newest technologies for the automation field we will need an industrial computer to be able to interact with the values in real time even in the toughest work environments where the strict sanitary requirements must be fulfilled.

WHAT IS A PANEL PC?

A panel PC is a rugged, all-in-one touchscreen computer which is designed for an industrial environment.

DID YOU KNOW THE ARESTECH’s PPC-Z series?

Is a line of hygienic, heavy-duty, and outstandingly corrosion-resistant computing solutions. Being able to withstand heavy daily washdowns, it can fulfill strict sanitary requirements to ensure food safety and prevent contamination. This robust SS316 series is your perfect choice for demanding environments such as food & beverage processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications.

In this device category, you can find the PPC-Z153PW-B61A1 and the PPC-Z217RW-B62A1, both of them are Food Grade Stainless Steel 316 Panel PC’s with Full IP66/69K Protection specially designed to use it in rough environments with specific requirements as the Food & Beverage Processing, Hospitality & Catering Service, Pharmaceutical Equipment, Animal Feed Production Facility, Chemical Critical Environment, and Medical Environments.

WHY THE USE OF STAINLESS STEEL 316?

This type of steel is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels which are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels. These alloys also offer higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature.

The use of stainless steel is very common due to its use in a multitude of applications, it’s well as its strength, resistance, ease of sterilization to guarantee its hygiene, longevity, and its low need for maintenance due to its properties.

WHAT IS IP66/69K PROTECTION?

IP (or Ingress Protection) ratings are defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529 and are used to classify the sealing effectiveness of a particular electrical enclosure against intrusion from foreign bodies, dust, water and moisture. Thus, the Ingress Protection (IP) rating and depending each level certifies that the unit is water and dust-resistant.

KNOW MORE ABOUT THESE PANEL PC’S…

The main characteristics to consider when we choose a Panel PC, should be: The type of mounting, the material, the degree of the IP, the Panel Size, The processor of the CPU and the Operating System. According to these values into the Arestech’s PPC-Z series, you can find both of these best seller options; the 15.6″ Panel PC model PPC-Z153PW-B61A1 and the 21.5″ Panel PC model PPC-Z217RW-B62A1.
