An Industrial Panel PC for Factory Automation should be selected as part of the full production and control system. For projects around Mumbai, define whether the panel PC will host HMI software, show machine status, support inspection, collect production data or connect operators with supervisory systems. Document the application, operating system, CPU and memory needs, storage, display size, brightness and touch requirements. Map every interface to the PLCs, drives, sensors, scanners, printers and plant network. Confirm Ethernet, serial, USB, display outputs, wireless and expansion needs, including protocol and driver compatibility. Review mounting, cut-out dimensions, enclosure depth, cable clearance, ventilation and service access. Record dust, moisture, temperature, vibration, cleaning routine and expected operating hours, and request model-specific environmental evidence. Test a sample with the actual software and peripherals; define acceptance checks for communications, touch response, startup, recovery, logging and network reconnection. Confirm warranty, spare availability, repair turnaround, delivery lead time, firmware support and product lifecycle. Elpro Technologies offers industrial panel PCs and industrial computing products that can be evaluated against a written specification. FAQs: What should an RFQ include? Application, software, I/O, display, mounting, environment, quantity and support. Is the panel PC itself a safety controller? Do not assume so; verify control architecture and safety requirements with the system integrator. Why test a sample? It helps confirm compatibility before rollout.
Specify the application first
Write down the operator workflow, application software, connected equipment, required protocols and expected uptime. Separate mandatory requirements from optional preferences to make supplier quotations comparable.
Validate integration and lifecycle
Request the exact model datasheet and mechanical drawing. Test the proposed configuration with production software and peripherals, then document acceptance criteria, warranty, spare parts and support responsibilities.
