It looks like you use it to earn butter for your bread?
Then look for an industrial(ized) computer. In your case I guess you have space enough, so using an office PC inside an IP65 cabinet could be a solution, then in combination with a flat-panel screen inserted in the cabinet door. You can even get them in sealed versions that can be hosed down. I would not let an office PC sit out in a production environment with a cloth bag over it. Especially if welding, flame cutting or grinding goes on there. One thing is keeping out "appartment rabbits", another is the dust in such an environment. And are those dirtbags compatible with sparks?
Even in my hobby basement workshop the office PC is just to figure out how much CPU, RAM, etc. I need. When that is figured out, it will go into a sealed cabinet. Hopefully I can do with 1MHz Pentium, or getting rid of the heat will be a problem. It can be dealt with though using a Peltier Element (a solid state heat pump).
I'll use a flat screen with touch. Just because I have it. But it will be interesting to see if it's possible to see the screen without wiping it all the time. I have some doubts.  |
