15″ Industrial Touch PC X6413E (Large Case)

The 15″ Capacitive Touch PC X6413E (Large Case) is faytech's Atom-based industrial touch PC at the most widely-deployed industrial HMI size in global manufacturing — engineered as the cost-effective alternative to the Core i5 sibling for deployments where platform demands are well within Atom Quad-Core capability and buyers prioritize value, high brightness, and wide viewing angles over premium compute headroom. The 15″ XGA 4:3 size has been the dominant industrial HMI form factor for the past two decades, specified by major automation vendors as the reference panel size for plant-floor operator stations, machine control interfaces, and SCADA workstations. This product is positioned for industrial automation refresh, machine-side operator stations, factory floor HMI deployments, equipment OEM integration, and any commercial deployment where the industrial 4:3 standard matters.

Same Large Case Form Factor — Different Compute Tier

This product implements faytech's standard Large Case architecture — identical Large IPC Back Kit design, modular Front Kit + Back Kit construction, connectivity layout, and mounting infrastructure as the rest of the Large Case Touch PC family. The difference is the internal compute platform: this product uses the Intel Atom x6413E (Elkhart Lake) Quad-Core processor, while the Core i5 Large Case siblings use the Intel Core i5-1145G7E (Tiger Lake U) vPro processor. The Atom and i5 Large Case products install identically into the same mounting infrastructure, offer identical connectivity, and share the same modular service infrastructure. The buying decision is purely about compute tier and cost.

When to choose this Atom version:

• Industrial automation HMI stations running well-optimized SCADA and machine control software within Atom-class capability
• Machine-side operator interfaces on production lines, packaging equipment, processing machinery, assembly stations
• Fleet deployments at scale where per-unit cost savings multiply across dozens or hundreds of installations
• Equipment OEM integration where unit cost drives the buy decision and OEM software targets Atom-class platforms
• Legacy 15″ HMI refresh projects where the new Atom platform exceeds the legacy hardware's compute capability anyway
• Multi-operator stations requiring wide viewing angles — supervisor + line operator + maintenance technician simultaneously

When the Core i5 Large Case sibling is the better choice:

• Multi-application operator workstations running SCADA + document management + corporate productivity concurrently
• Computer-vision augmented inspection software or AI-assisted predictive maintenance applications
• vPro remote management requirements for IT fleet management across distributed facilities
• Higher storage requirements — Core i5 Large Case siblings ship with 240 GB SSD vs 120 GB on this Atom version

420 cd/m² High-Brightness + 176°/176° Wide Viewing Angles

This product features the second-brightest display in the Atom Large Case family (behind only the 12.1″ at 500 nits): 420 cd/m² — substantially brighter than the 300-nit baseline panels in the family. Combined with 176°/176° ultra-wide viewing angles (the widest in the Atom Large Case family), this display is engineered for industrial environments where:

• Multiple operators view the display simultaneously — line operator, supervisor, and maintenance technician at different positions around a machine station all see the display clearly
• Ambient lighting is bright — factory floor overhead lighting, natural daylight from skylights, warehouse high-bay lighting
• Display position is non-ideal — wall-mounted HMI stations viewed from oblique angles, kiosk installations where users approach from varying directions, vehicle-mount applications
• Visual clarity drives operational decisions — quality inspection, machine setup, recipe management, alarm response

Brightness is 420 cd/m², contrast 800:1, viewing angles 176°/176°. LED backlight lifetime is 30,000 hours, supporting continuous 24/7 industrial deployment. The display uses LVDS interface internally; resolution is 1024×768 XGA at 4:3 aspect ratio.

The 15″ XGA 4:3 Industrial Standard

The 15″ XGA 4:3 aspect ratio is the dominant industrial HMI panel format. Major industrial automation vendors — Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, Omron, Beckhoff, B&R, Phoenix Contact — have specified 15″ XGA as the reference HMI size for plant-floor operator panels for decades. The industrial HMI software ecosystem is built around this panel format: SCADA platforms (WinCC, FactoryTalk, Wonderware/AVEVA, Citect, Ignition), machine control runtime environments, PLC operator interfaces, and recipe management applications all default to 1024×768 layouts.

Running these applications on widescreen displays creates real operational issues: stretched controls, wasted screen real estate, modal dialogs that don't fit the design intent, and operator interfaces that look "wrong." The 15″ XGA 4:3 panel renders these interfaces correctly without compromise — and this product is a drop-in compatible upgrade for legacy 15″ industrial HMI hardware reaching end-of-life.

Intel Atom Industrial Compute Platform

The platform is built around the Intel® Atom® x6413E processor from Intel's Elkhart Lake family — a modern Quad-Core x86 SoC designed specifically for industrial IoT, edge computing, and dedicated-function commercial deployment. The Atom x6413E offers a deliberate balance of performance and power efficiency: enough compute headroom to run industrial software, web-based HMI applications, dedicated-function POS systems, and signage management at modest power consumption (17.8W under typical load).

Paired with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 120 GB SSD (proper SSD, not eMMC), the platform handles industrial control software, signage content management, kiosk applications, and modern web frameworks within Atom-appropriate workload boundaries. For workloads beyond this envelope, the Core i5 Large Case sibling is the appropriate choice within the same physical form factor.

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 are available on request with an additional fee: Linux Ubuntu 22.4 LTS, Windows 10, and Windows 11. For Linux-based dedicated-function deployment, the Atom platform performs well within its workload boundaries. For Windows-heavy multi-application deployments, the Core i5 Large Case version is the better choice.

Touch System

The 10-point projected capacitive multi-touch panel is built on 1.1 mm thermally strengthened cover glass with AG anti-glare surface treatment (chemical etching), IK08 impact protection, and faytech's proprietary Clear Bond® optical bonding. The EXC81W84 touch controller communicates via USB with touch resolution of 48 RX × 36 TX. Multi-touch supports modern gesture-driven interfaces including pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, and rotation gestures. The capacitive touch system operates reliably with most types of industrial gloves (depending on glove material and thickness) for environments where operators wear PPE.

Industrial Connectivity

Network: 2× 10/100/1000 Mbit Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (Realtek® 8111H) supporting network segmentation between operational technology (OT) networks and information technology (IT) networks — critical for industrial cybersecurity. Wi-Fi via Intel® AC 3168 module with included RP-SMA female antenna. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is available upon request.

USB: 2× USB 3.0 + 2× USB 2.0 for peripheral integration (barcode scanners, payment terminals, RFID readers, signature pads, configuration storage devices, service-tool laptops).

Modular Front Kit + Large IPC Back Kit Design

This product implements faytech's modular Front Kit + Back Kit architecture with the Large IPC Back Kit (X6413E) — the same chassis design used across the entire Large Case family, configured here with the Atom processor:

• 15″ Rubber Frame Front Kit: Contains the 15.0″ XGA 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 (X6413E): Contains the Intel Atom x6413E compute platform, all external connectivity, network hardware, storage, and the aluminum IPC back case with passive thermal management fins. Same physical chassis as the Core i5 Large Back Kit, configured with the Atom platform.

The shared physical infrastructure between the Atom and i5 Large Case families is operationally meaningful: organizations deploying mixed Atom and i5 Touch PCs can use the same mounting hardware, the same kiosk enclosures, the same cut-out templates, and the same service inventory infrastructure. The compute platform decision is independent of the physical integration decision.

Independent kit replacement during service supports:

• Compute platform refresh as Intel processor generations advance — replace only the back kit while keeping the original front kit, display, and physical integration
• 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
• Cross-compute service flexibility — organizations can upgrade from Atom to Core i5 in the same physical infrastructure if compute requirements grow

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.
• 6-clamp open-frame integration: Installation into custom kiosk enclosures, retail counters, industrial control panels, machine enclosures, or built-in HMI positions via a 335.0 × 267.0 mm cut-out, secured by 6 clamps. Maximum clamp wall thickness is 5.0 mm. The 6-clamp configuration (vs 4 on smaller siblings) provides additional structural support across the larger panel area.

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. The included 100-240V AC active-switching adapter outputs 12V DC. Operating power consumption is 17.8W with under 1W standby — efficient for a 15″ industrial touch PC and substantially lower than typical Core i5 Large Case siblings.
