AP-AW1S | 10.1″ Fanless IP65 Industrial HMI Panel PC (P-CAP Touch)
Intel® Core™ i5-6200U · 8 GB DDR4 · 10-point P-CAP touch · 9–36 V DC wide input — built on the BITECH Three-Less (Fanless, Cable-less, Jumper-less) architecture.
- Operator-facing HMI terminal for AGV/AMR, CNC and food-processing lines
- Multi-touch capacitive input for modern HMI software and outdoor kiosks
- Stable x86 Skylake compatibility for Windows-based HMI/SCADA stacks
Industrial P-CAP Touch Panel PC for Modern HMI Solutions
The AP-AW1S is built as a stable x86 industrial HMI platform designed for environments that demand multi-touch responsiveness, scratch resistance and an easy-to-clean glass surface. The 10-point projected-capacitive touchscreen (≥6H, JIS-5400) supports bare-finger and thin-glove input, modern gesture-based UIs and frequent washdown-adjacent cleaning cycles.
Engineered for AGV/AMR controllers, CNC operator stations, food-processing lines and outdoor kiosks, the AP-AW1S features an IP65-rated front bezel that provides complete protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The fanless aluminum unibody construction follows the BITECH Three-Less philosophy — Fanless, Cable-less, Jumper-less — for maintenance-free, long-life deployments.
As the capacitive counterpart to the resistive AP-AW1G, the AP-AW1S emphasizes modern UX, surface durability and 10 year lifecycle support for OEM HMI programs.

- Surface durability: ≥6H surface hardness per JIS-5400 — scratch and abrasion resistant
- Easy cleaning: Flat glass surface tolerates frequent IPA / disinfectant wipe-down
- Bare-finger / thin-glove operation: No pressure required, ideal for fast operator workflows
- High optical clarity: Optically bonded options for outdoor and high-ambient-light use
When to Choose Capacitive Touch
Capacitive touch is preferred for modern HMI software with gesture-based UIs, for washdown-adjacent food-processing lines, and for outdoor kiosks where surface hardness and easy cleaning matter. For thick industrial gloves, stylus pressure or wet-with-debris environments, the resistive AP-AW1G may be the better choice.

AP-AW1S Technical FAQ
Expert engineering answers for system integrators and OEM developers.
What CPU does the AP-AW1S use, and will it thermal-throttle under sustained load?
The standard AP-AW1S ships with an Intel Core i5-6200U (Skylake, 15 W TDP, up to 2.8 GHz) and runs at 100% CPU/GPU load without throttling. The extruded aluminum unibody acts as a passive heatsink — no fan, no moving parts. Higher-performance CPU options are available (see below).
Can I order the AP-AW1S with a newer or faster CPU?
Yes. Beyond the standard i5-6200U, the platform supports Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 12th-Gen U-series processors, with memory scaling up to DDR4-2666. CPU and RAM are configured per project during OEM/ODM customization, so you can match compute performance to your HMI or SCADA workload.
How does the AP-AW1S achieve maintenance-free, long-life operation?
It eliminates the three most common hardware failure points — fans, internal cables, and jumpers — under BITECH's "Three-Less" design. With no moving or vibration-prone parts, there is nothing to clog, fatigue, or shake loose, which enables reliable 24/7 deployment on factory floors and mobile machinery.
Should I choose capacitive (AP-AW1S) or resistive (AP-AW1G) touch?
Choose the capacitive AP-AW1S for multi-touch gestures, bare-finger or thin-glove use, easy glass cleaning, and bright/outdoor settings. Choose the resistive AP-AW1G when operators wear thick industrial gloves, use a stylus, or work in wet-with-debris conditions. Both models share the same x86 platform and I/O.
Does the touchscreen work with gloves?
Yes — with bare fingers and thin industrial gloves, via the 10-point projected-capacitive (P-CAP) sensor. For thick cut-resistant gloves, or screens frequently flooded with water and debris, the resistive AP-AW1G is the better fit, since its pressure-based input is unaffected by gloves or surface contamination.
Is the display readable in bright or outdoor conditions?
Yes. The 400-nit 10.1″ panel (1280×800, 16:10) stays readable under bright factory lighting and partial outdoor use. The true-flat ≥6H (JIS-5400) glass resists scratches and frequent IPA/disinfectant wipe-downs, and optically bonded options are available for high-ambient-light or outdoor kiosk deployments.
Is the AP-AW1S rated for AGVs, AMRs, and mobile machinery?
Yes. It is validated to 15 G / 11 ms shock and 5–500 Hz / 1 Grms vibration, and its cable-less internal design removes connectors that loosen under continuous motion. This makes it suitable for the high-frequency vibration profiles of AGVs, AMRs, and CNC operator stations.
What are the operating temperature and IP ratings?
The AP-AW1S operates from −10 °C to +60 °C and tolerates up to 95% RH (non-condensing). The front bezel is IP65-rated for complete dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets — suitable for washdown-adjacent zones such as food-processing lines.
What power input does it use for control-cabinet integration?
It accepts wide-range DC 9–36 V through a locking Phoenix terminal block that prevents accidental disconnection. A separate 2-pin Remote Power On/Off terminal lets you wire the power switch to an external control panel — useful when the unit is sealed inside a cabinet.
What networking and I/O interfaces are included?
Standard I/O includes 2× Gigabit LAN, 1× RS232, 1× RS485, and 4× USB 2.0 (Type-A). For wireless expansion, the board provides an M.2 E-Key (Wi-Fi/BT) and an M.2 B-Key (4G/5G), covering most field-networking and cellular-backhaul requirements.
Which operating systems are supported, and do you provide drivers?
The AP-AW1S supports Windows 10/11 Pro, Windows 7/8 (legacy), and Ubuntu LTS / mainstream Linux. BITECH supplies a validated driver package for all onboard controllers — including the P-CAP touch controller — so you receive a clean, deployable image without hunting for drivers.
Is the AP-AW1S certified for industrial use?
Yes. It carries CE, UKCA, FCC, and ICES-003 Class A, and meets EN 61000-6-4 / 6-2 EMC, with ESD 4 kV contact / 8 kV air and surge protection (AC 2 kV / signal 1 kV). These ratings support deployment near motors, VFDs, and relay-switching noise.
What if the 10.1″ size doesn't fit our panel cutout?
The AP series offers 8 display sizes from 10.1″ to 21.5″ (AP-AW1S through AP-AW8S). All sizes share the identical x86 hardware platform and I/O layout, so you can change screen sizes across projects and reuse the exact same software image and drivers.
What lifecycle and OEM support does BITECH provide?
BITECH guarantees a 10 year supply lifecycle with formal PCN and EOL notices. After your validation, a strict BOM freeze ensures batch-to-batch consistency. Branding, I/O, mechanical changes, and pre-integrated wireless (Wi-Fi/BT, 4G/5G) are all available as OEM/ODM options.
Can I get a sample or a lead-time quote?
Yes. Send us your target display size, CPU/RAM configuration, touch type, and mounting method, and our engineers will confirm the configuration, sample availability, and lead time — typically within one business day via the RFQ form.
