Without a doubt, more and more vehicles will come equipped with built-in computers on the future, and that's exactly the reason why AIS has just introduced a 12.1-inch Rugged Vehicle Computer designed to reliably operate in strong vibration, extreme temperatures, dusty and harsh environmental conditions, thus making it perfect for construction site machinery.

The HMI Vehicle PC features a built-in UPS battery backup system, capable of sustaining the unit for up to 30 minutes in the event of loss of power and is ideal for delayed system shutdown for data transmission, mission critical applications, and logging application.

Moreover, a 1,000 nit high brightness LCD display provides sharp images in direct sunlight, for superior indoor and outdoor performance.

A rugged aluminum alloy housing protects the internal components, meeting Military Standard 810F specs for anti-shock and vibration requirements, and the front bezel is sealed to IP65 compliant water and dustproof standards.

In fact, the ruggedized system is so tough that's actually capable of withstanding -10 to 55 degrees Celsius operating temperatures and is compliant with Military 810F standards for anti-shock, vibration, and drop, providing a robust vehicle mounted system in extreme environments.

Powering the rugged computer is a high performance fanless Intel Celeron M processor and GM45 chipset, designed for long product life cycle and reliable operation in industrial conditions.

Connectivity-wise, the rugged vehicle computer packs built-in dual gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n wireless support, and a wide array of I/O connections on the rear for external peripherals.

AIS’ vehicle computer system accepts a wide voltage range input, 9 to 28V, for easy deployment into a variety of transportation vehicles.
