Choosing a machine

I need an industrial PC that runs Linux, Android and Windows, with a 10 inch screen, USB, LAN, WiFi and a capacitive touchscreen.

A 10 inch capacitive touch panel with USB, LAN and WiFi is a common industrial panel PC configuration and many brands offer it. The point to settle first is the operating system, because few machines officially support all three: - x86 platforms (Intel Atom, Celeron, Core): run Windows 10/11 IoT and Linux such as Ubuntu or Debian, with vendor drivers. Android on x86 is not supported by the vendors and is only suitable for testing. - ARM platforms: run Android and Linux (Yocto, Debian) through the vendor BSP, draw little power, and do not run Windows. So start from the main software: Windows software (SCADA, PC-based HMI) points to x86; Android apps (kiosks, queue displays, device control) point to ARM. If you need both, an x86 machine running Windows or Linux can host Android apps on top, but test it first with your actual software. Send us the software you will run, the mounting method (panel, VESA or desk) and the power supply on site, and IPC247 engineers will suggest a suitable model.
