Advantech Announces FPM-1150G

Advantech is pleased to announce FPM-1150G – a 15” TFT LCD monitor with LED backlight aimed at industrial operations and IoT applications. Designed to provide an entry-level display solution, the FPM-1150G monitor features an industrial-grade, flat-panel 15” XGA TFT LED LCD equipped with resistive touch control and VGA/HDMI video I/O. Additionally, FPM-1150G monitors also feature a die-cast magnesium alloy front panel and the default front bezel can be swapped with a stainless steel bezel for applications that require superior corrosion resistance or strict hygiene control. This combined with the monitor’s IP65 rating for protection from dust, oil, and water ingress ensures that the system can withstand operation in harsh industrial environments. Overall, FPM-1150G offers the best price-performance ratio for a reliable, rugged display solution currently available on the market, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and IoT-related applications.

Industrial Monitor Offers Highest Price-Performance Ratio
With increasing market demand for integrated display and control applications, industrial-grade monitors are fast becoming the new standard for industry applications. Indeed, because consumer-grade monitors offer inferior durability, their use for industrial applications is expected to be phased out over the next 2 years. Advantech’s FPM-1150G monitor features a flat-panel 15” XGA TFT LED LCD equipped with resistive touch control and VGA/HDMI video I/O. By offering a backlight lifetime of 70,000 hours and overall product lifespan of 36 million touches, the FPM-1150G monitor provides a cost-effective, industrial-grade system with the longevity to support futureproofing for IoT operations.

Flexible Mechanical Design Ensures Easy Customization
For demanding applications in domains such as the food processing, medical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, the monitor’s default front panel can be swapped with a true-flat panel with aluminum/stainless steel bezel. This not only enhances the monitor’s resistance to corrosion, heat, and chemical damage, but also gives it a low-maintenance, modern, and attractive appearance, ensuring easy integration with existing infrastructure. For channel or system integrators, the monitor’s cutout dimensions for panel mounting are the same with/without the stainless steel bezel, eliminating the need to reassess the device, which thus reduces the product evaluation time. Furthermore, FPM-1150G is IP65 rated for protection from dust, oil, and water ingress, ensuring the monitor can withstand operation in diverse industrial environments.

OSD Function Keys Ensure Intuitive Operation
The FPM-1150G monitor is also equipped with OSD function keys that allow users to adjust the system parameters without opening the cabinet or accessing the rear of the monitor. The OSD keys also support a system on/off touch function; this means users no longer need to access the OS to turn the device on/off. Additionally, the monitor’s touchscreen can be temporarily disabled to prevent accidental/unintended touches during handling and can be set to automatically awaken after a preset period of time. Considering all of the aforementioned features, the FPM-1150G monitor provides a rugged yet flexible, industrial-grade entry-level display solution.
