A growing need for durable, touch-enabled and maintenance-free human-machine interfaces is reshaping global automation, healthcare and retail. Shuttle’s panel PC line responds with engineering-grade reliability and long-term platform stability.
In a market where elegant, robust and integrated industrial computers are becoming increasingly important, Shuttle has quietly but steadily built a strong position with its panel PC product range. As automation, smart manufacturing and digital signage continue to accelerate, demand for reliable all-in-one terminals is rising across all verticals – and Shuttle is addressing this with a well-coordinated, technically mature portfolio.
Panel PCs today are far more than desktop replacements. They serve as operational control points in automated factories, interactive terminals in public spaces, user interfaces in medical environments, and information hubs in retail. Once a niche, the panel PC sector has now become a strategic component of digital transformation, enabling high availability, intuitive interaction and reliable data flow at the edge.
Shuttle’s panel PCs combine thoughtful industrial design, modern connectivity and dependable 24/7 operation. Their aluminium chassis – including a 3 mm thick rear panel – ensures mechanical robustness and long service life. The front panel meets IP65 protection standards against dust and water jets, while the fanless architecture provides silent, maintenance-free performance for noise-sensitive or mission-critical environments.
Each system uses a capacitive 10-point multi-touch display that supports smooth, precise interaction, including glove operation. Depending on the model, industrial users can select from modern Intel ULV (Ultra-Low Voltage) Core processors, delivering a strong balance between power efficiency and performance. This positions Shuttle’s panel PCs not only for HMI, SCADA and MES client applications, but also for more demanding real-time visualisation and monitoring workloads.
Connectivity is an essential differentiator in industrial deployments, and the Shuttle range reflects this: multiple USB ports, serial interfaces (COM), dual 2.5 Gb Ethernet ports and HDMI ensure easy integration with existing automation hardware and peripherals. VESA-mount support (100 × 100 mm) allows flexible installation on arms, walls or machines.
A specialised highlight within the portfolio is Shuttle’s M-Series, including models such as the M21AL01, purpose-built for healthcare environments. These units offer antibacterial surface coatings, medical-grade power supplies certified to IEC 60601-1, and dedicated grounding features (POAG pin). They are designed for continuous operation in hospitals, labs and care environments where hygiene, safety and reliability are critical.
Because the systems follow a modular, industrial-grade design philosophy, integrators benefit from stable hardware configurations and extended product life cycles. Shuttle’s long-standing footprint in industrial PCs further strengthens confidence for OEMs, system integrators and solution architects who require predictable roadmaps and lifecycle consistency.
Compatibility with modern operating systems – including Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and Linux (64-bit) for many models – ensures broad software support, covering everything from SCADA systems and MES clients to medical imaging software and kiosk applications.
As global industries advance their digitalisation efforts, the demand for durable, touch-enabled, always-on human–machine interfaces will continue to rise. Shuttle’s panel PC line is strategically positioned to meet these evolving requirements. By combining rugged construction, passive cooling, long-term availability and specialised variants for vertical markets, Shuttle provides a reliable and forward-looking platform for industrial applications.
For integrators, OEMs and IT architects looking for robust, quiet, all-in-one panel PCs with long lifecycle support, Shuttle’s panel PC family offers a compelling, future-proof solution. The company’s commitment to modern CPUs, broad OS compatibility and medical-grade design underlines its ambition to remain a strong partner in industrial computing.
