10.1″ Industrial Touch PC i5 (Large Case)

The 10.1″ Capacitive Touch PC I5-1145G7E (Large Case) is faytech's compact, high-performance industrial touch PC in 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio — engineered for deployment scenarios where modern software interfaces, contemporary HMI applications, and current POS systems need a small-footprint touch interface with serious compute power. The 16:10 widescreen aspect is the dominant format for modern industrial software, web-based control interfaces, and current commercial applications, making this the right specification for new deployments and software refresh projects.

Intel Core i5 Industrial Compute Platform

The platform is built around the Intel® Core™ i5-1145G7E (Tiger Lake U) — a genuine industrial vPro embedded processor, not a low-power Atom or Celeron SoC. The i5-1145G7E offers full Intel Core architecture with significantly more compute performance, larger cache, faster memory subsystems, and better single-thread performance than the Atom and Celeron alternatives common in this product category. Paired with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 240 GB SSD (proper SSD, not eMMC), the platform handles demanding industrial software with margin to spare.

This compute spec matters operationally because modern industrial software is increasingly resource-intensive: browser-based HMI panels running multiple WebSocket connections, real-time data dashboards with high-frequency telemetry, computer-vision-augmented inspection software, AI-assisted predictive maintenance interfaces, and the multi-application workloads common in operator stations that simultaneously run SCADA clients, document management systems, and corporate productivity software. Atom-class platforms struggle with these workloads; the i5-1145G7E handles them as a workstation-class device should.

The 1145G7E is also a vPro processor, supporting Intel's enterprise remote management features (AMT, vPro Manageability Engine) — meaningful for IT teams managing fleets of industrial workstations remotely, particularly across geographically distributed facilities. Power consumption is just 18.5W under operating load — remarkably efficient for a Core i5-class compute platform.

Operating System Options

Debian 12 ships pre-installed as standard (note: Pyramid Computer GmbH is not affiliated with Debian; Debian is a registered trademark owned by Software in the Public Interest, Inc.). Additional OS options available on request (with additional fee): Linux Ubuntu 22.4 LTS for the broader Ubuntu ecosystem alignment, Windows 10 for legacy Windows industrial software, and Windows 11 for current Windows commercial software. The Linux-first default reflects modern industrial deployment trends toward open-source OS platforms; Windows availability handles the substantial legacy of Windows-based industrial control software still in production.

Display – 10.1″ WXGA in 16:10 Widescreen

The display delivers 1280×800 WXGA resolution across a 216.96 × 135.60 mm active area in 16:10 widescreen aspect ratio. The 16:10 aspect is meaningful for contemporary industrial deployment:

• Modern HMI software compatibility: Industrial software written in the past 10+ years assumes widescreen aspect ratios. Browser-based HMI clients, modern SCADA interfaces, and contemporary POS software render correctly without unused screen space or visual distortion.
• Web application optimization: Web-based industrial control panels and dashboards are designed for widescreen displays. The 16:10 aspect maximizes content area for typical web app layouts.
• Document and content readability: Wider panels accommodate more horizontal content — meaningful for tabular data, multi-column dashboards, and timeline-oriented industrial visualizations.

Brightness is 350 cd/m² — slightly brighter than the standard indoor industrial display, supporting placement in well-lit factory environments and brighter retail/commercial spaces. Contrast 800:1, viewing angles 170°/170°. LED backlight lifetime is 30,000 hours, supporting continuous 24/7 deployment for over 3.4 years of round-the-clock operation. The display uses an LVDS interface internally.

Touch System

The 10-point projected capacitive multi-touch panel is built on 1.1 mm thermally strengthened cover glass with AG (chemical etching) anti-glare surface treatment, IK08 impact protection, and faytech's Clear Bond® optical bonding. The EXC81W60 touch controller communicates via USB. Touch resolution is 39 RX × 24 TX. The optical bonding eliminates the air gap between touch sensor and LCD panel, improving optical clarity, reducing reflections in industrial lighting, and increasing mechanical durability against operator impacts.

Comprehensive Industrial Connectivity

Network: 2× 10/100/1000 Mbit Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (Realtek® 8111H) supporting network segmentation common in industrial OT/IT separation. Wi-Fi via Intel® AC 3168 module with included RP-SMA female antenna. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is available upon request — meaningful for installations where running new AC power is impractical.

USB: 2× USB 3.0 (high-speed peripherals: external storage, barcode scanners, high-bandwidth instruments) + 2× USB 2.0 (standard industrial peripherals).

Video Output: 1× HDMI + 1× DisplayPort for external display extension — useful for operator stations with both primary touch interface and secondary information displays.

Industrial Serial: 2× RS-232 COM ports (RX/TX only, DSUB9). The dual COM port specification matters for industrial integration: many industrial deployments require simultaneous communication with multiple legacy devices (PLC + barcode scanner, scale + label printer, machine controller + data logger). The pinout follows standard RS-232 convention: Pin 2 RXD1, Pin 3 TXD1, Pin 5/10/11 GND.

Additional connectors: 1× Audio In/Out (Realtek® ALC897 Audio CODEC), 1× SD card slot for local data logging and removable storage, 1× SIM card slot for cellular connectivity in installations where Wi-Fi/Ethernet isn't appropriate.

Modular Front Kit + Back Kit Design

This product implements faytech's modular Front Kit + Back Kit architecture:

• 10.1″ Rubber Frame Front Kit: Contains the 10.1″ display panel, projected capacitive touch sensor, cover glass with Clear Bond® optical bonding, rubber frame structural assembly, and the IP65 sealing system.
• Large IPC Back Kit (i5-1145G7E): Contains the Intel Core i5 compute platform, all external connectivity, network hardware, storage, and the aluminum IPC back case with passive thermal management fins.

The two kits can be ordered pre-assembled (deployment-ready) or separately packaged (for OEM integration), connected through various standardized connectors. Independent replacement during service supports:

• Compute platform refresh as Intel Core processor generations advance, without replacing the more expensive front kit
• Field damage replacement of cracked cover glass without retiring the working back kit and configured OS image
• OEM integration projects where custom enclosures house the back kit separately from the front kit
• Service inventory optimization with separate kit stocking

Note: Front Kit + Back Kit assembly to be done by a professional to maintain IP65 seal integrity.

Mounting Options

• VESA 100 × 100 mounting: Standard wall-mount arms, articulating mounts, monitor stands, and industrial pole mounts.
• 4-clamp open-frame integration: Installation into custom kiosk enclosures, retail counters, industrial control panels, or built-in HMI positions via a 264.0 × 196.0 mm cut-out, secured by 4 clamps. Maximum clamp wall thickness is 5.0 mm.

Wide Power Input & Environmental

The platform accepts 9-36V DC wide power input — supporting standard 12V industrial DC, vehicle 24V systems, 48V battery backup systems (regulated), and the PoE option (when configured). The included 100-240V AC active-switching adapter outputs 12V DC for standard mains deployment. Operating power consumption is just 18.5W with under 1W standby — remarkably efficient for a Core i5-class device, supporting continuous 24/7 deployment with minimal heat generation and low utility cost at scale. Operating temperature range is -10°C to +60°C with 10–90% humidity tolerance, suitable for partially-conditioned industrial environments.
