21.5″ Capacitive Touch PC x6413E

The 21.5″ Capacitive Touch PC X6413E is faytech's industrial-grade all-in-one touch computing platform — engineered for the demanding deployment scenarios where a touch monitor isn't enough but an industrial PC needs to be paired with its display: factory floor HMI (human-machine interface) stations, process control rooms, warehouse and logistics workstations, hospital nursing stations, retail back-office terminals, transportation operations centers, and any commercial deployment where Windows or Linux applications need to run reliably on durable, touch-enabled hardware. Rather than asking integrators to assemble a workstation from separate touch monitor, industrial PC, mounting hardware, and cable management components, this product ships as a single unified platform with the compute, display, touch, and connectivity engineered together.

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 modern industrial software, web-based HMI applications, and the multi-tab browser stacks common in current commercial deployments, while keeping power consumption to just 24W total system draw. Paired with 8 GB RAM, 120 GB eMMC storage, Intel® UHD Graphics, and a 1.5 MB cache, the platform handles industrial control software, signage management systems, kiosk applications, and modern web frameworks without compromise.

Linux Ubuntu ships pre-installed as standard, with Windows 10 and Windows 11 fully supported and available upon request. The Linux-first positioning matters operationally: Linux Ubuntu has become the dominant OS for industrial IoT and embedded commercial deployment due to lower licensing cost at scale, better long-term security update transparency, native support for modern development workflows, and easier remote management for fleet deployments. Organizations standardized on Windows can request Windows 10/11 pre-installation; the platform supports both ecosystems without performance compromise.

Display & Touch Specifications

The 21.5″ display delivers 1920×1080 Full HD resolution across a 47.70 × 26.80 cm active area, with 250 cd/m² brightness, 1,000:1 contrast, and 170°/160° viewing angles. The remarkably fast 1.5/3.5 ms response time (Tr/Tf) supports video content and animated industrial dashboards. 40,000-hour LED backlight lifetime — meaningfully longer than the 30,000-hour rating of typical commercial displays — supports the truly continuous 24/7 deployment that industrial environments demand.

A notable specification: the platform supports external display output up to 3,840 × 2,160 (4K UHD) via HDMI or DisplayPort. While the integrated display is 1080p, the compute platform can drive a secondary 4K monitor — useful for dual-screen industrial control rooms (where the touch screen serves as input/operator interface and the 4K secondary screen displays process diagrams or video feed), warehouse pick-pack stations, and any deployment where one operator works across multiple displays.

The 10-point projected capacitive multi-touch panel provides unlimited touch life, on 1.1 mm tempered cover glass with AG (chemical etching) anti-glare surface treatment and 7H surface hardness. Touch connects via USB for native OS compatibility without driver installation. faytech's Clear Bond® optical bonding eliminates the air gap between touch sensor and LCD panel — improving optical clarity under industrial lighting conditions, increasing mechanical durability against the inevitable impacts of factory floor and warehouse use, and supporting reliable touch response across the full operating temperature range.

Patented IP65 Front with Silicon Seal

The touch interface and front bezel are protected by faytech's patented IP65-rated silicon sealing system — complete dust ingress protection and water-jet resistance from any direction. This rating is meaningful for industrial deployment where the touch PC encounters dust from manufacturing processes, water spray from cleaning protocols, condensation in temperature-cycling environments, and the chemical wipes common in healthcare and food production. The patented seal ensures consistent IP65 performance across the product's service life — unlike gasket-only seals that can degrade over time.

The rear of the chassis is rated IP40 (indoor dust protection), appropriate for installations where the back faces a wall, control cabinet interior, or back-of-house space. Operating temperature range is -10°C to +60°C with 10–90% humidity tolerance, suitable for partially-conditioned industrial environments, unconditioned warehouse facilities, and outdoor-adjacent commercial spaces.

Comprehensive Industrial Connectivity

External connectivity is deliberately specified for industrial deployment requirements:

Network: 2× 10/100/1000 Mbit Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports — dual NIC capability supports network segmentation common in industrial environments (operational network + management network, or production VLAN + corporate VLAN). Wi-Fi with screwable RP-SMA female antenna provides wireless connectivity; the included antenna is supplied in the box.

USB: 2× USB 3.0 (high-speed for external storage, barcode scanners, USB-A printers) + 2× USB 2.0 (standard peripheral connectivity).

Video Output: 1× HDMI + 1× DisplayPort, both supporting up to 4K UHD external display output.

Industrial Serial — RS-232/422/485 Switchable COM Port. This is the standout specification for industrial deployment: a single DSUB9 COM port (COM3) that can be software-switched between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols, with an additional 5V/12V/RI power output option. This versatility is operationally meaningful because:

• RS-232: Legacy industrial equipment, lab instruments, retail POS peripherals, and older control systems
• RS-422: Differential signaling for noise-resistant long-distance industrial communication
• RS-485: Multi-drop networking for industrial sensors, Modbus deployments, building automation systems
• 5V/12V power output: Powers external sensors, scanners, and field devices directly from the COM port — eliminating separate power supplies for these peripherals

Most industrial Touch PCs in this category provide RS-232 only or, at best, RS-232 and RS-485. The switchable three-protocol capability with integrated power output is a meaningful differentiator for serious industrial integration.

Additional connectors: 1× Audio Jack, 1× Micro 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 — confirm cellular modem availability with sales), 1× 12V DC-In screwable power connector (locking connector resists vibration in industrial mounting).

Modular Front Kit + Back Kit Design

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

• Front Kit: Contains the 21.5″ display panel, projected capacitive touch sensor, cover glass with optical bonding, patented IP65 silicon seal, and the rubber frame structural assembly.
• Back Kit: Contains the Atom x6413E compute platform (CPU, RAM, storage), all external connectivity, network hardware, and the aluminum IPC back case housing.

The two kits can be ordered pre-assembled or separately packaged, connected through a single connector, and replaced or swapped independently. This modularity matters operationally for industrial deployment patterns:

• Service organizations can stock front and back kits separately, reducing inventory carrying cost and supporting field service technicians who carry both kit types.
• Compute platform refresh: When the Atom x6413E platform is superseded by future Intel embedded SoCs, the back kit can be upgraded without replacing the more expensive front kit (display + touch + cover glass).
• Field damage replacement: A cracked cover glass from industrial impact requires only front kit replacement; the still-functional back kit and the customer's configured OS image stay in service.
• OEM and integration projects: Custom kiosk fabricators can integrate just the front kit into bespoke enclosures while housing the back kit electronics separately for better thermal management or different mounting requirements.

Note: Front Kit + Back Kit assembly involves a single connector between the two components. Despite the single-connector simplicity, professional assembly is recommended to maintain the IP65 seal integrity and proper torque on the connecting hardware.

Mounting Options

Two mounting configurations are supported:

• VESA 100 × 100 mounting: Standard wall-mount arms, articulating mounts, monitor stands, and industrial pole mounts use this mount pattern. The 68.0 mm chassis depth requires a mount with adequate clearance.
• 6-clamp open-frame integration: The touch PC can be installed into a custom kiosk enclosure, retail counter, industrial control panel, or built-in HMI position via a 508.0 × 307.0 mm cut-out, secured by 6 clamps that grip the rear of the front frame. Maximum wall thickness for clamp supports is 5.0 mm. This open-frame approach is what kiosk fabricators and industrial integrators specifically need.

Power & Environmental

The platform runs on 12V DC, supplied by an included 100–240V AC active-switching adapter. Operating power consumption is 24W with under 1W standby — efficient for continuous 24/7 deployment. A green LED power indicator provides at-a-glance status. The 12V DC-In connector is screwable, providing vibration resistance for installations on machinery, mobile equipment, or vehicle-mount applications.

Intended use: Industrial-grade touchscreen touch PC for indoor and partially-conditioned environments. Industrial automation, control panel HMI, digital signage, kiosk integration, and similar applications. Protect from direct sunlight, which can push the device beyond specified storage and operating temperatures. Operation outside specified temperature ranges is not covered by warranty.

Included in the Delivery

Power supply (100–240V AC active-switching, 12V DC-Out), Wi-Fi antenna (RP-SMA female), short installation manual.
