Customisable, cabinet-free HMI solutions for industrial automation

Advantech announces the release of its next-generation button-integrated HMI series - SPC-800 V2, featuring both Panel PC and Monitor versions. This series is designed to deliver greater flexibility, durability, and efficiency across heavy machinery, robotics, and automated production lines.

Customisable, cabinet-free HMI solutions for industrial automation

Building on customer feedback and the proven success of the SPC-800 series, the new SPC-800 V2 introduces major mechanical and operational advancements - including customisable front control panels, enhanced back-housing design for simplified cabling, and universal mounting options such as VESA, pole, arm, and ceiling mounts. The monitor version is equipped with HDBase-T 2.0 technology, enabling long-distance video transmission of up to 100 meters, ensuring high reliability in large-scale industrial environments.

The SPC-800 V2 is available in 15.6" and 21.5" FHD multi-touch displays and powered by Intel Core i3/i5 processors (13th Gen) with up to 64GB memory capability of two DDR5 SODIMM to deliver high responsiveness and graphical performance for data visualisation, machine control, and robotic operation. Its IP65-rated, silicone-free enclosure ensures superior protection against dust and water, suitable for harsh factory environments.

Designed for flexibility and customisation

To adapt optimally to the needs of each machine, Advantech SPC-800 V2 series, both panel PC and monitor, offers a fully customisable front control panel. This ranges from visual adaptations and logos to various operational elements such as emergency stops, illuminated ring keys, RFID scanners, and push buttons in different colours. This flexibility empowers machine builders, system integrators and manufacturers to design operational interfaces that fit specific workflows, ensuring ergonomic, safe, and efficient machine control.

Redesigned with an improved rear housing structure, SPC-800 V2 simplifies cable routing, easy terminal block access and maintenance to reduce setup time and improve serviceability. Its expanded wiring compartment supports direct terminal connections while maintaining full IP65 protection. Supporting VESA, pole, arm, and ceiling mounts, as well as Rittal CP40 and Bernstein CS-480 B.Flex standards, it enables effortless integration into diverse equipment layouts and space-constrained environments.

Long-distance and high-reliability operating communication

For large-scale production lines, the SPC-821/815 (M) V2 monitor integrates HDBase-T 2.0 technology to enable 100-meter signal transmission with 4K/8K ESD protection. This innovation enhances system communication, supports daisy-chain applications, and reduces downtime by allowing quick monitor replacement without replacing the entire control unit. It is ideal for large machines and factory floors where operators need flexible visualisation access.

Advantech's SPC-800 V2 button-integrated HMI series redefines operational efficiency and flexibility for industrial automation and robotics. With a customisable button-integrated design, simplified wiring, and multi-mount compatibility, it empowers system integrators to deploy high-performance HMIs anywhere on the factory floor. The HD Base-T-enabled monitor version ensures long-distance visualisation up to 100 meters, while the Intel Core-powered Panel PC delivers powerful computing performance - making SPC-800 V2 series ideal for heavy machinery, robotic production lines, and packaging automation.
