Pepperl+Fuchs and Rockwell Automation create ruggedized tablet interface for hazardous areas
Pepperl+Fuchs and Rockwell Automation have partnered to provide a new experience working with ThinManager software. Originally launched by Rockwell Automation more than 25 years ago, the ThinManager device management and content delivery platform is used to centralize thin-client device management.
Together, Rockwell Automation and Pepperl+Fuchs offer a portfolio of ThinManager-ready products. This includes everything from dedicated human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and industrial box thin clients to a newly introduced range of tablet products by Pepperl+Fuchs. The Tab-IND and Pad-Ex tablets are available with the ThinManager BIOS onboard and no other pre-installed operating system (OS). This allows users to boot firmware directly from ThinManager and transforms the tablets into centrally managed endpoints that provide mobile visualization in harsh industrial and even hazardous environments.
