compact, cost-effective, compatible:

New generation of machine operating panels with Chromium browser

• 100% HTML5-compatible due to Chromium browser
• scratch-resistant glass surface
• quick response thanks to GPU Acceleration
• intuitive operation with CapTouch
• display sizes from 7’’ – 18.5’’
• resolution from 1024x600 to 1920x1080

The latest generation of Grossenbacher WebPanels operate with the standard open source Chromium browser, allowing all web-based visualisations to be displayed, especially those based on the HTML5 standard (Responsive Design).

Likewise for JavaScript applications. The browser is the only interface for interaction, making it very simple to put the units into operation: Set the IP address (static or DHCP), enter the URL, done. The data is now stored and is called up automatically each time the unit is restarted.

In addition, the frequently used gestures in modern visualisations are supported ( swiping, zooming, etc.).

The WebPanels are available in various sizes, resolutions and installation types and are all multi-touch capable.

Your application in focus: The success of IoT projects stands and falls with the consideration of your very own application - from A to Z. From our point of view, holistic gateways include your business model, your marketing, rollout, commissioning up to the cloud and the update tool.

Success with IoT does not come off the peg. We offer you not only the experience from numerous projects, but also proven modular elements that we develop, produce and also maintain as an IT/OT system for you to create a professional overall solution. See below the technical fields in which you can find your solution.

PROCESSOR SELECTION

Your application already specifies many things, e.g. a desired battery usage determines the processor choice. Or vice versa? Whether energy-optimised µController or powerful ARM processor with AI, Linux Yocto or firmware is also determined here.

INTERFACE TO THE CLOUD

Ethernet, LTE or LoRaWAN®: In addition to this decision, it is also necessary to define data volumes, encryption and protocols. MQTT is modern here, but what awaits the cloud portal and your users there?

CONNECTION OF SENSORS/IOS

What data do you actually want to evaluate? Do you want to integrate your own sensor? Or do you want to "tap into" existing data? Here it is important to integrate and consider application knowledge with your specialists.

MECHANICAL STRUCTURE

... there is also a lot to consider for this! Often a marginal topic, but of crucial importance. Do you want to install a retrofit gateway, i.e. in an existing environment? Do you want a top-hat rail or does your enclosure have to be waterproof? Exemplary but important questions.

WANT A REMOTE UPDATE?

Your IoT gateway will also need updates at some point. But to what extent? Is an image update enough? Or do you want to be able to differentiate between applications and recipes? And what about security updates? As you can see: We should take a look at it together!

THE CLOUD PORTAL - FOR YOU AND YOUR USERS

Without the cloud, there is no IoT application and vice versa. But which use cases do you want to cover? Monitoring? Service assistance? Or do you also need an efficient commissioning tool? Holistic means that you also get the cloud portal from us. Coordinated, from a single source, in the same project!
