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-1010BT-X02, the AP-AW1S emphasizes modern UX, surface durability and 5–7 year lifecycle support for OEM HMI programs.

10-Point P-CAP Touch Advantages
- Multi-touch gestures: Pinch, swipe, rotate and 10-finger input for modern HMI/SCADA UIs
- 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-1010BT-X02 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 experience thermal throttling under heavy load?
The AP-AW1S is powered by an Intel Core i5-6200U processor (15W low-TDP, up to 2.8 GHz). Thanks to BITECH's extruded aluminum passive cooling design, the system maintains stable performance at 100% CPU and GPU load without thermal throttling.
What is the "Three-Less" architecture?
The "Three-Less" architecture refers to a Fanless, Cable-less, and Jumper-less design. This eliminates the most common failure points in traditional hardware, such as fan failure, cable degradation, and vibration-induced disconnections, ensuring maintenance-free, long-term operation.
Does the touchscreen support glove operation?
Yes. The AP-AW1S features a 10-point projected-capacitive (P-CAP) touchscreen that supports bare fingers and thin industrial gloves. If your operators use thick cut-resistant gloves or if the screen is frequently exposed to heavy water and debris, we recommend the AP-1010BT-X02 variant with a 5-wire resistive touch panel.
How is the screen visibility in bright or harsh industrial environments?
The device is equipped with a 10.1-inch HD LCD panel (1280x800 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio) offering 400 nits of brightness, suitable for well-lit factory floors and partial outdoor use. The true-flat glass surface has a hardness rating of ≥6H (JIS-5400), making it scratch-resistant and highly resilient to frequent cleaning with IPA or disinfectants.
Is the AP-AW1S suitable for deployment on AGVs, AMRs, or mobile machinery?
Yes. The device has been tested to withstand 15 G / 11 ms shock and 5–500 Hz / 1 Grms vibration. Combined with its cable-less internal architecture, it is perfectly suited for the high-frequency vibration profiles of AGVs, AMRs, and CNC control stations.
What are the operating temperature and ingress protection (IP) ratings?
The system supports a wide operating temperature range from -10°C to +60°C and tolerates up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. The front bezel is IP65-rated, offering total protection against dust ingress and resistance to low-pressure water jets, making it ideal for food-processing washdown zones.
What power supply options are available for control cabinet integration?
The AP-AW1S supports a wide-voltage DC 9–36V input via a secure Phoenix terminal block, which prevents accidental power disconnections. It also features an independent 2-pin Remote Power On/Off terminal, allowing engineers to wire the system's power switch to an external control panel.
What industrial communication and networking interfaces does the device offer?
The I/O includes 2x Gigabit LAN ports, 1x RS232, 1x RS485, and 4x USB 2.0 ports. For internal network expansion, the motherboard provides 1x M.2 E-Key for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules and 1x M.2 B-Key for 4G/5G cellular connectivity, meeting diverse field networking requirements.
If the 10.1-inch display does not fit our panel cutout, are other sizes available?
Yes. The AP platform utilizes a modular design, offering 8 display sizes ranging from 10.1 inches to 21.5 inches. Regardless of the display size, the core x86 Skylake hardware platform and I/O layout remain identical, allowing you to deploy the exact same software image across different projects.
What lifecycle management does BITECH provide for OEM/ODM procurements?
We provide long-term supply support of 5 to 7 years. Once the hardware passes your validation, we implement a strict BOM (Bill of Materials) freeze to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, backed by formal PCN (Product Change Notification) and EOL (End of Life) management policies. Supported OS options include Windows 7/8/10/11 Pro and Ubuntu.
