Description

ST-IM1 Ultra-Thin Industrial Panel PC

KER ST-IM1 Ultra-Thin Industrial Panel PC is a slim industrial touchscreen computing platform designed for machine builders, industrial automation, factory equipment and embedded control applications.

Its lightweight custom-molded housing and seamless die-cast enclosure provide a clean, durable design while minimizing installation space. The platform supports multiple mounting methods, including wall mounting, desktop installation and embedded integration.

The current product page specifies a 10-point capacitive touchscreen, 5 ms response time, ±1 mm touch precision, 30,000-hour LCD life, IP65 surface protection and screen sizes from 7 to 27 inches.

Ultra-Thin Industrial Design

The slim enclosure is designed for equipment where installation depth and available space are important.

Compared with conventional industrial computers with bulky housings, the ST-IM1 is designed to integrate more easily into:

• Machine control panels
• Automation equipment
• Production-line equipment
• Industrial cabinets
• Inspection systems
• Laboratory equipment
• Smart manufacturing systems
• Embedded control stations

Its lightweight enclosure also helps simplify equipment integration.

Seamless Die-Cast Enclosure

The product page describes a high-strength custom-molded, seamless die-cast housing designed for industrial use.

Potential advantages include:

• Rigid structure
• Clean appearance
• Reduced exposed seams
• Better equipment integration
• Easier panel installation

The cabinet appearance can be customized for OEM equipment projects.

10-Point Capacitive Touchscreen

The ST-IM1 supports 10-point capacitive touch with a stated 5 ms touch response and approximately ±1 mm precision.

This is suitable for:

• HMI interfaces
• Machine control
• Parameter adjustment
• Equipment monitoring
• Operator input
• Industrial dashboards

The touchscreen can be customized according to the selected display size and application requirements.

Multiple Screen Sizes

The current page lists:

• 7″
• 8″
• 10.1″
• 13.3″
• 14.1″
• 15.6″
• 19″
• 21.5″
• 24″
• 27″

This range allows the same product platform to cover compact control panels as well as larger industrial workstations.

IP65 Surface Protection

The current page specifies IP65 waterproof/surface protection.

This makes the unit suitable for applications where the protected front surface may be exposed to dust, splashes or routine industrial cleaning.

For final projects, the complete environmental protection level should be confirmed based on the installation method and enclosure configuration.

Long-Life LCD

The product page specifies a 30,000-hour extended-life LCD display.

This makes the panel suitable for long-running industrial applications such as:

• Factory automation
• Machine control
• Monitoring stations
• Industrial workstations
• Building management systems

Flexible Mounting

The ST-IM1 supports multiple installation options:

• Wall mounted
• Desktop mounted
• Embedded installation

This flexibility allows manufacturers to use the same platform across different machine designs.

Embedded Machine Integration

The ultra-thin design is particularly suitable for embedding into:

• CNC machines
• Production equipment
• Industrial cabinets
• Automated inspection equipment
• Warehouse terminals
• Laboratory equipment
• Smart manufacturing systems
• Special-purpose machinery

The mounting dimensions and enclosure details can be customized according to the customer’s machine design.

Industrial HMI

The ST-IM1 can serve as a human-machine interface for industrial equipment.

Possible applications include:

• Production monitoring

Optional scanners and industrial interfaces can be added according to the application.

Building and Facility Automation

Possible applications include:

• Building management
• Energy monitoring
• Access control interface
• Facility control
• Equipment monitoring

Industrial I/O and Peripheral Integration

Depending on the selected computing configuration, the system can be customized with interfaces such as:

• USB
• Ethernet
• RS232
• RS485
• GPIO
• Barcode scanner
• RFID reader
• NFC reader
• Camera
• Industrial sensors

Final I/O availability should be specified according to the selected motherboard and project requirements.

Windows, Linux and Android Options

The computing platform can be customized according to the application.

Possible operating systems include:

• Windows
• Linux
• Android

The CPU, RAM, storage and operating system should be selected according to the customer’s software requirements.

Industrial Power Supply

The current product page lists an industrial-grade power supply as one of the standard design features.

The final input/output voltage and power configuration can be customized for different industrial environments.

External Power Adapter Design

The product page highlights an external adapter design intended to provide a cleaner overall enclosure and easier operation.

This can simplify maintenance and installation where internal power-supply space is limited.

OEM / ODM Customization

KER can customize the ST-IM1 according to OEM equipment requirements.

Possible customization options include:
