A 15-inch industrial monitor with an RFID badge reader in the front bezel. The screen is 1024 × 768 at 800 nits with capacitive touch over USB and VGA + HDMI inputs; there is no CPU, memory or storage inside. It displays the HMI that an existing IPC or PLC produces, and the reader tells the system who is standing at it.

At order: tell us which badge the site already issues and the reader is configured to match it before the unit ships. Card type, reading frequency and reading distance are confirmed per project rather than assumed, because the wrong reader is a station that does not work. If the site has more than one badge generation, send us a sample and we will check both.

The reader presents the card ID to the host, and the host decides what to do with it. In most installations the monitor shows a login prompt from the HMI or MES application, the operator taps the badge, and the application resolves the ID to a person and a permission level. Because the monitor has no operating system of its own, all of that logic stays in the application you already maintain.

Because the screen has to be readable where light comes in behind the operator, or where the room is bright — a washdown hall with big windows, a machine door facing a loading bay, an outdoor-adjacent station. 800 nits is roughly twice a standard industrial monitor, so the picture holds up instead of washing out.

No — and that is deliberate. If the machine already has an IPC, a PLC with a video output or a vision controller, a panel PC would duplicate the computing and add a second operating system to patch, image and back up. The monitor takes the spare output; the badge reader feeds the application that already exists.

Then a panel PC is the right product, and CESIPC builds those with the same reader: tell us the screen size and we will point you at the RFID panel PC range instead. The monitor and the panel PC share the same 15-inch form factor, so the mechanical design does not change.

The front is a flat panel sealed to IP65 in an aluminium frame, with a face resistant to oil and to electromagnetic interference. That covers oil mist, coolant splash and a wipe-down at shift end; if the whole enclosure is hosed down, that is a different requirement — tell us and we will quote a fully sealed stainless panel PC instead.

The housing is 436 (W) × 282 (H) × 43.7 (D) mm, the cutout is 417.9 × 266.8 mm, and it weighs 3.7 kg. It mounts in the panel cutout or on VESA 75 × 75 / 100 × 100. The outline and cutout drawing is in the Drawings section on this page, so it can be checked against the machine door before ordering.

12V 2A through a locking 2-pin aviation connector, with a 9~36V DC version for vehicles and 24V cabinets. In the box: the monitor, a power adapter, a USB touch cable, and an HDMI or VGA cable — one of the two, chosen at order.

CE and RoHS are standard, and custom LOGO plus system encryption are available as ODM options. A branded reader face or a specific badge protocol is quoted per project once we know what the site requires.
