The EXPLORER range of hazardous area panel PC's are ideally suited to surviving the harsh environments typically found in Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Biotech and Food and Beverage manufacturing.

All operating and visualization components (display, touch screen, trackball, joystick, keyboard...) can be configured according to the requirements of the plant. Constructed as intrinsically safe panel mounting modules and certified for Ex Zone 1 / 2 (Gas), Zone 21/22 (Dusts) the EXPLORER Panel PC can easily be integrated into our FHP standard enclosure, as well as existing enclosures, walls and cabinets.

In addition to the Ethernet interface, the EXPLORER offers USB, RS232, RS485 and RS422 interfaces to integrate further electrical equipment or for the functionality of WLAN or BLUETOOTH.

The CHALLENGER range of remote PC terminals are designed for use in extreme hazardous areas such as those encountered in Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Biotech and Oil and Gas industries. CHALLENGER Terminals can be configured in a modular manner to meet with the plant installation requirements. All the components including the display, touch screen, keyboard, pointing devices, etc. - are certified for use in hazardous areas as control panel-mounted modules and can be mounted independently into various enclosures / walls or into our CHALLENGER FHP standard enclosure which provides environmental protection.

CHALLENGER components are modular thus allowing for individual configuration in the most diverse of production plants. All electronic components such as displays, keyboards, pointing devices, etc. are designed as panel-mount modules and can be mounted in our enclosures as well as in existing cabinets. The metal and plastic materials used are based on long-term experience in hazardous and industrial areas, and resist the strongest of impacts. Specially tested materials for sealings ensure the IP66 / NEMA 4X protection, which is often required.

The Barracuda Lite 15” workstation features an Intel Core Duo 2.2GHz processor and a glass based touchscreen. RAM capacity is up to 2GB and a 32GB compact flash for storage.

The Barracuda Lite 19" is a new addition to the Azonix product family. This product was developed using the latest Intel Core 2 Duo to maintain processor efficiency with ever more complex applications and a 19" touch screen display to provide for the increasing amount of user controlled data and monitoring functions.

The ProPanel® PRO4500Z1 is the ultimate hazardous area workstation for the rig floor. Leveraging the latest in portable computing technology, Azonix is able to integrate full client computing performance into a small light-weight enclosure.

Welcome to the NEXT GENERATION of ruggedised workstation...

The Azonix Barracuda 15 WS solves the industry’s need for a high performance computing platform that is both rugged and mobile enough to operate in extreme conditions. Many rugged mobile computers have failed under the same harsh conditions that the Azonix Barracuda is designed to thrive in.

Workstations and displays used in the oil and gas industry need to be transportable and flexible to mount in a variety of ways. With the Azonix Barracuda, customers have the versatility to configure and mount an array of units close together, providing access to multiple sources of information at one time.

The Azonix Barracuda 15 WS can be utilized in rig floor applications such as MWD / LWD, mudlogging or well stimulation in oil and gas operations where a display or workstation must be able to withstand harsh shock and vibration and meet hazardous area certification. The system’s small footprint and VESA hole pattern allows for easy mounting in space-constrained work areas, making it equally suitable for use in machine automation environments where a standalone system must be mountable to various surfaces, from a standard pedestal to a boom, pole or custom panel mounting.

The Barracuda can be utilized in applications such as Military C4 applications and oil and gas exploration, where a display or workstation must be able to withstand harsh shock and vibration or other rugged environmental factors.
