Advantech introduces the SPC-618WE RPL, the first explosion-proof touch panel computer in the SPC-600 series to achieve both IECEx/ATEX Zone and Class I Division II (C1D2) certification. This new product integrates the latest 13th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and a special impact-resistant touch panel designed specifically for high-risk industrial environments, including the oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
For intelligent operation in hazardous environments
The SPC-618WE RPL features a 13th-generation Intel® Core™ i7-1365URE deca-core processor integrated with 32GB of high-speed DDR5 memory and an industrial-grade sTLC SSD, enabling smart operations while maintaining explosion-proof integrity. This high-performance configuration enables digital transformation in hazardous areas and supports demanding applications such as real-time process monitoring and multi-parameter analysis in chemical plants, AI-based visual inspection in pharmaceutical production lines, and big data analysis in oil refineries. The use of the latest processor platform also ensures long-term product availability, helping customers to minimise future upgrade and maintenance costs.
Ready for global use
Building on hazardous area certifications, Advantech has gained global recognition in explosion-proof markets with the SPC-618WE RPL through IECEx/ATEX Zone 2/22 and C1D2 certifications. The product incorporates industrial-grade safety features, including an Ex-rated tempered glass touch panel with PCAP technology that passes rigorous impact tests and achieves IP66 ingress protection. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20 to 60°C, meeting the stringent requirements of various hazardous environments.
The SPC-618WE RPL's multiple certifications enable seamless integration into hazardous applications in key global markets. Advantech plans to expand the SPC-600 Series product line in the second half of 2025 by introducing multiple display sizes.
