Sunlight Readable Panel PCs

Sunlight Readable Touch Screen PCs for Outdoor and In-Cab Use

Sunlight readable panel PCs put a 1,000 nit high-brightness screen where daylight falls on the glass: open cabs, decks, yards and outdoor enclosures. Available from 10 to 19 inches with PCAP or resistive touch and sealing from a front IP65 bezel to fully sealed IP66 and IP67, they stay legible where a standard panel washes out.

Options include optical bonding and anti-glare glass, M12 connectors, wide-range DC input with ignition control, 4G and 5G modems and NVIDIA Jetson AI models for vision on the vehicle, suited to agriculture, marine, mining and mobile machinery where the HMI works outdoors all day.

Speak to a panel PC specialist to match the brightness, sealing and power input to your cab or site.

Sunlight Readable Panel PC Ranges Configured by Things Embedded

We work with the leading manufacturers of high-brightness HMIs, so the ranges below are the ones we specify for open cabs, decks, yards and rail. Compare them by brightness, sealing and power input, then browse the models above or ask a panel PC specialist which range suits your cab or site.

Winmate G-WIN Full IP67 Rugged HMIs
Winmate

Winmate G-WIN Full IP67 Rugged HMIs

Fully sealed IP67 rugged computers in 15 and 19 inch on Intel Celeron or Core i5, with high-bright screens and M12 connectors, for decks, vehicles and outdoor sites.

Winmate Vehicle Mount Rugged Computers
Winmate

Winmate Vehicle Mount Rugged Computers

In-cab touch computers from 8.4 to 15 inches on Intel Celeron or Core i5, with sunlight-readable high-bright options and wide-range DC input, for forklifts, cabs and mobile machinery.

Winmate ATEX and Class I Div 2 Panel PCs
Winmate

Winmate ATEX and Class I Div 2 Panel PCs

Certified HMIs from 12.1 to 23.8 inches on Intel Atom, Celeron and Core i5, carrying UL Class I Division 2 with ATEX Zone 2 on selected models, for operator stations inside classified areas.

Not sure which range fits? Tell us the application and we will recommend the right model.

What to Specify in a Sunlight Readable HMI

Our panel PC specialists specify every sunlight readable panel PC against the light, the weather and the vehicle supply. These are the choices that decide whether a screen stays legible in daylight, and the ones we work through with you before recommending a range.

1,000 Nits

High-brightness panels that stay readable in direct sun where standard screens wash out.

Optical Bonding

Bonded touch glass cuts internal reflections and condensation, improving contrast outdoors.

Vehicle Power

Wide-range DC input and ignition control for cabs and mobile machinery.

Sealing

IP66 and IP67 builds for decks, yards and open cabs.

Sunlight Readable Panel PC Innovation & Outdoor HMI Insights

We specialize in HMIs that stay readable in direct sunlight, on the deck, in the cab and in the yard. Our team of embedded system design engineers recommends and configures sunlight readable panel PCs to the brightness, sealing and power input your vehicle or site needs. Discover how we help farm equipment builders, shipbuilders and fleet operators put a touch screen outdoors, or read our guides to sunlight readability, optical bonding and outdoor enclosures.
