In pharmaceutical manufacturing, precision, compliance, and efficiency are not just requirements—they are critical to success. The ARP-D24AX, a Dual Waterproof Panel PC with a 24-inch PCAP Touch Screen and Stainless Steel 316L Enclosure, is designed to meet these needs. Its innovative dual-screen design, durability, and advanced configurations make it the perfect tool for enhancing productivity and maintaining compliance in highly regulated environments.

This panel PC is more than just a piece of equipment—it is a technological partner that transforms how pharmaceutical manufacturers manage operations, security, and data integrity.
 

Designed for HMI and SCADA Efficiency

The ARP-D24AX is optimized for use in HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, providing unparalleled performance in monitoring and controlling critical industrial processes. Powered by options including Intel Celeron J1900 @ 1.99GHz, Atom E3845 @ 1.91GHz CPU or Intel i7-6600U CPUs, it delivers the processing power needed for demanding applications. Its dual 24-inch LCD screens with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 ensure operators have clear, real-time visibility into complex operations.

The projected capacitive touch interface adds another dimension of usability, enabling precise and responsive control, even with gloved hands—a must for sterile environments. With up to 4GB DDR3L or up to 16GB DDR4 SO-DIMM memory, the ARP-D24AX is tailored to handle resource-intensive tasks without compromise.

For instance, in a tablet manufacturing line, one screen could display real-time equipment performance metrics, while the other shows SCADA dashboards tracking system-wide data. This setup enables operators to seamlessly monitor every critical detail and maintain optimal production efficiency.
 

Durability for Cleanroom Operations

Pharmaceutical production facilities demand resilient equipment capable of withstanding rigorous cleaning protocols and maintaining performance in sterile settings. The ARP-D24AX meets these needs with its NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings, ensuring it is both dust-tight and waterproof. Its durable stainless steel 316L enclosure resists corrosion, providing long-term reliability even under the most challenging conditions.

This durability aligns perfectly with the cleanliness and hygiene standards required in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) environments. Operators can clean the unit frequently without worrying about damaging sensitive electronics. This not only prolongs the panel PC's lifespan but also minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.

The 24-inch PCAP touch screen adds another layer of usability. Its responsive design is compatible with gloved operation, enabling seamless interaction without compromising hygiene protocols. This is especially important in sterile environments, where operators must wear protective gear at all times.
 

Configurations Tailored to Your Needs

The ARP-D24AX offers unparalleled flexibility with three distinct configurations, allowing manufacturers to choose the setup that best suits their needs:

1. Dual Touch Screen Configuration: This configuration maximizes efficiency by providing two touch screens, enabling simultaneous monitoring and control of multiple processes. Whether tracking production metrics or analyzing quality data, this setup ensures everything operators need is right in front of them.

2. ARP-D24AX with Waterproof Keyboard: Adding the KB-115A-AX Industrial Waterproof Membrane Keyboard enhances user interaction with tactile typing capabilities. Specifically designed for pharmaceutical environments, its stainless steel construction ensures it is easy to clean and highly durable. The integrated touchpad eliminates the need for an external mouse, reducing workspace clutter and improving ergonomics.

3. ARP-D24AX with Keyboard and NFC Reader: This advanced configuration integrates a waterproof keyboard with a biometric verification NFC reader, delivering enhanced security and operational efficiency. The NFC reader facilitates seamless biometric authentication, ensuring only authorized personnel access critical systems and sensitive information. By supporting wearable biometric devices, such as wrist-worn Nymi Bands, it enables contactless and continuous operator identification, enhancing hygiene and convenience in cleanroom environments.
   The biometric NFC reader elevates the ARP-D24AX into an indispensable tool for pharmaceutical manufacturing. It ensures regulatory compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 by generating tamper-proof audit trails for electronic records and signatures, simplifying inspections, and bolstering accountability. Role-based access control (RBAC) further strengthens security by restricting employees to tasks within their designated responsibilities, reducing errors and safeguarding critical processes.
   Traditional login methods can be inefficient, especially when operators frequently switch tasks or machines. The NFC reader addresses this challenge by providing instant, secure access, streamlining operations, and minimizing production delays. This integration highlights Arista's dedication to delivering innovative, standards-compliant solutions that optimize workflow and efficiency in pharmaceutical environments.
    

Cost- and Space-Saving Advantages

The ARP-D24AX is designed with efficiency in mind, not just in terms of performance but also in space and cost management.

All-in-One Solution: Combining dual screens, waterproof construction, and advanced peripherals into a single unit eliminates the need for multiple devices. This reduces hardware costs and simplifies installation and maintenance, making it a cost-effective choice for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Compact Design: The desk-type configuration saves valuable workspace, particularly in cleanrooms where every square meter is critical. Its streamlined design keeps workstations tidy and functional, enhancing overall productivity.

Long-Term Durability: The rugged construction ensures that the ARP-D24AX can withstand years of heavy use without frequent repairs or replacements. This durability translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer disruptions to production.
 

Driving Pharmaceutical Innovation

The ARP-D24AX is more than just a panel PC; it is a cornerstone of pharmaceutical innovation. By combining dual-screen efficiency, durable waterproof design, and intelligent configurations, it empowers manufacturers to achieve higher productivity while maintaining strict compliance with industry standards.

Whether you need a reliable solution for real-time monitoring, secure access control, or streamlined workflows, the ARP-D24AX is the perfect choice. It exemplifies how advanced technology can drive efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance operational excellence.
