15.6″ Capacitive Touch PC I5-1145G7E (Large Case)

The 15.6″ Capacitive Touch PC I5-1145G7E (Large Case) is faytech's modern widescreen industrial touch PC at the standard laptop-size class — engineered for deployment scenarios where the contemporary 15.6″ 16:9 form factor matches modern software design, current operator workstation expectations, and the productive screen real estate that today's multi-application workflows require. This is the widescreen complement to the 15″ 4:3 industrial standard model, serving deployments that have moved (or are moving) to current widescreen software stacks.

Full HD Widescreen Display

The display delivers 1920×1080 Full HD resolution across a 344.16 × 193.59 mm active area, in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio at 15.6″ diagonal — the same panel size class as a typical business laptop, making this a familiar form factor for operators transitioning from laptop-based workstations to dedicated touch PC hardware. At 15.6″ Full HD, the pixel density is approximately 141 PPI, supporting sharp text rendering for data-heavy industrial applications, modern HMI dashboards, and contemporary POS interfaces.

The display uses eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) interface internally — a modern, higher-bandwidth display interface that supports the Full HD signal reliably and provides better power management than legacy LVDS. Contrast 800:1, viewing angles 170°/170°.

Display brightness and LED lifetime — honest specifications: Brightness is 220 cd/m², which is the lowest in the Core i5 Touch PC family and lower than typical commercial monitors. This is appropriate for controlled indoor environments — modern office spaces, climate-controlled retail interiors, hospital and healthcare facilities, classroom and education environments — but not for high-ambient-light industrial settings where the 420 cd/m² 15″ 4:3 sibling would be the better choice. LED backlight lifetime is rated at 15,000 hours — for continuous 24/7 deployment, plan backlight assessment around the 20-month mark; for typical 12-hour business-day usage, the backlight supports approximately 3.4 years of full-brightness operation. The 2-year warranty covers backlight failures within the warranty period.

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 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.

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 across geographically distributed facilities. Power consumption is just 19.6W under operating load — remarkably efficient for a Core i5-class device driving a Full HD widescreen display.

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.

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 EXC81W84 touch controller communicates via USB. Touch resolution is 53 RX × 30 TX. The optical bonding eliminates the air gap between touch sensor and LCD panel, improving optical clarity at the Full HD pixel density, reducing reflections in commercial 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:

• 15.6″ Rubber Frame Front Kit: Contains the 15.6″ Full HD 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. This is the same back kit shared across the 10″, 10.1″, 13.3″, 15″, and 15.6″ Touch PC products in this line.

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 — the shared Large IPC Back Kit across multiple front kit sizes simplifies fleet inventory management for organizations operating mixed-size Touch PC deployments

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 371.0 × 218.0 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 19.6W with under 1W standby. Operating temperature range is -10°C to +60°C with 10–90% humidity tolerance, suitable for partially-conditioned industrial environments.

IP65 Front + IP40 Back protection. CE and FCC certified.
