VI

Vehicles, vessels & mobile platforms

A machine mounted on a forklift, truck, special vehicle or vessel. It vibrates the whole journey, draws power from a 12V or 24V battery — the voltage sags hard at engine crank and jumps up once the alternator runs. No cabinet, no air-conditioning, and no maintenance until it breaks.

A Panel PC in the cab or on the vehicle body: the driver operates it directly, and sun shines through the glass straight onto the screen. On top of the power and vibration needs of a box PC, the display must also be readable in sunlight — a criterion that eliminates nearly all the indoor display lines.

Sunlight-readable display — 1000 nits or more. Sun through the cab glass hits the screen head-on. An indoor 300–500-nit display then becomes a mirror — the driver can’t read the numbers. The standard for a display in direct sun is 1000 nits and up (sunlight readable); in our stock only Cincoze’s CS series reaches it.

Where people get caught out

Things the filter above does NOT catch. Read before you commit.

  • A vehicle that only runs indoors under a roof (dry-warehouse forklifts) is usually fine with a standard display, no need for 1000 nits — open the machine picker to re-filter without the brightness condition.
  • Ignition power control is well worth having — it lets the machine shut down cleanly after the vehicle is switched off. Not every machine has it, ask first.
  • Rail has its own standard, EN 50155 — stricter than MIL-STD-810G. For rail projects, ask us clearly first, don’t rely on this filter alone.
