Industrial servers receive processor upgrades
The Kontron KISS4U Short (177 x 482 x 300mm) leaves plenty of room for connecting cable ducts and dock ons at the rear, making it suitable for rack mounting in industrial applications.
In case of a failure, only the failing component needs to be replaced.
If a further upgrade of the system is planned, the IPC unit or power supply unit can simply be added.
An IP65-protected frame adapts the 15-inch flat screen for the various cut-out sizes for interfacing the Kontron Stingray with existing system mountings.
The Kontron Stingray's modularity allows customers to reduce the number of replacement parts on hand to just a few components from a single manufacturer.
No additional tools are required for installation of the unit, which considerably reduces downtime.
The ease of the Kontron Stingray's installation allows in-house personnel to replace any of the modules at any time.
Overall, the modular Kontron Stingray workstation assists in reducing the total operating costs for industrial IT hardware and optimises the efficiency of production systems.
The Kontron Stingray's modular design is the right solution for large food and beverage manufacturers with a heterogeneous IPC infrastructure and their own IT service or system integrators.
The Kontron Stingray workstations feature Intel Pentium M processors and offer outstanding performance with especially low energy consumption.
When compared to desktop processors, it not only lowers energy costs, but is also particularly suitable for installation in small fanless assemblies.
Kontron's exclusive, glass-on-glass touch-screen technology offers additional advantages over comparable solutions: the surface of the touch-screen is resistant to the scratches and corrosion that can appear with long-term use of other solutions, and it delivers an improved image quality by means of an optimised transmission of the display graphics.
