Optimize Your Site Operation with Advantech's New Thin Client Solutions

Advantech announces the release of two industrial Thin Client Touch Panel Computers- the TPC-1260T and the TPC-1560T. These well-designed platforms are ideally suited for industrial automation applications and are more powerful then ever. This perfect combination of hardware and Thin Client software allows customers to configure from a safe centralized computing model while enjoying the unique HMI power. The ultra thin, compact and fanless 12" and 15" industrial-grade computer with thin client software supported by "Citrix ICA", "Java JVM" and "Microsoft RDP" will provide lower total cost of ownership, more efficiency and flexibility in deployment of distributed industrial PC-based applications.

With the multi-user client/server architecture, Advantech's TPC Thin Client solutions secures critical data in servers, and offers speedy maintenance in field area, and total project cost.

Multi-user Client/Server Architecture
Thin client architecture allows system operators local process monitoring and controlling facilities through local LAN Network, Intranet or Internet. Engineers can now easily manage the project or system in field, office, home without any constraints.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Leading commercial thin client computing solution vendors indicate that thin client computing solution can effectively save 15%-20% of IT expenditure in the first year and accumulate up to 50%-60% in the proceeding 5 years. Simplified software deployment radically reduces total rollout costs, and longer lifespan client terminals efficiently reduce capital expenditure.

Centralized Data Management
The TPC thin client terminal communicates with thin server via thin client software. All critical data or applications are run and maintained centrally. This centralized system infrastructure provides our customers better system security and data integrity.

Thin Client Software Support
Advantech's TPC thin client series support thin client software such as "Citrix ICA", "Java JVM" and "Microsoft RDP", which allow system integrators to easily harmonize hardware with industrial applications for environmental monitoring and transportation systems.

Fanless, No Spindle & Low Power Consumption
Combined with a mobile Transmeta Crusoe CPU and streamline Windows CE.NET with compact flash configuration, Advantech's TPC Series does not need cooling fan and huge heatsink.

From traditional panel computers to the thin client era, Advantech's new TPC thin client computing solutions successfully demonstrate the attractiveness of slim hardware and powerful thin client software. All Advantech's TPC series feature a fanless design, durable touchscreen, heat, dust and water-proof functions combined with economic & innovative system architecture. Advantech's TPC thin client computing solution is a reliable, economic, flexible and easy-to-maintain thin client terminal for all industrial customers.
