Do you know that all airplanes have a flight management system (FMS)? What about it? It means that its on-board embedded panel PCs are used for multi-purpose navigation.
According to GlobalSpec, FMS also provide performance computations and plane operations during flights. But, as the systems continue to evolve, requiring an upgrade of the flight control system is a must.
In most cases, processes are now automated for in-flight tasks and avionic systems. Hence, to improve flight safety and effective aircraft operations, industrial computers are fundamental.
Upgrading Flight Control System with 12.1” Embedded Panel PCs
Technology is now a necessity for every industry. Are you up to improving flight and aircraft operations? Building a 12.1” embedded panel computer for FMS can be a great start. With its Intel-powered motherboard processor, it can collect usable data on the FMS. Also, upon its integration, the device can store, analyse and send such data within the network.
Aside from that, this panel equipment can withstand extreme working conditions. Let us compare our recommended touch panels to other product lines.
S12 and S10 Panel PC Devices
Exceptional quality. Long-term availability. And warranty. Do you consider these features when it comes to flight and aircraft operations? Sure, your on-board panel computer must have these. See and compare more specifications below.
