Maple Expands Product Lines with New Open Platform CE Touchscreen Computer
(Everett, WA) Maple Systems has released a new line of products - the affordable Ivory Series open platform CE touchscreen operator interface computers.
"The addition of an open platform CE computer to our product mix means that no matter what our customers need, we have a product to fill that need," says Sam Schuy, VP of Sales and Engineering at Maple Systems.
The Ivory Series comes with a host of hardware features that allow OIT users to experience a whole new level of operator interface computing. Significant features include easy Internet and network access with 10BaseT Ethernet, device-ready USB ports, compact flash port
and RS-232 & RS-485 compatible Com ports. The Ivory Series is built on the same compact platform as Maple Systems' Silver Series touchscreen OITs, giving it a small footprint and a unique, fanless cooling that makes it ultra-quiet.
Because it can be programmed using any Windows CE-compatible OIT configuration software, the Ivory Series is extremely versatile. Pre-made programming software can be used - Maple recommends Indusoft - or users can create and run their own OIT programs.
Affordability is also a key feature, with pricing starting at just $740 for a 6" 65K-color TFT touchscreen computer. Ivory Series units also come with 8" and 10" 65K color TFT displays.
