  • Customization (ODM)
Power & Redundancy
  • What is the benefit of the Pretech 8-inch Tablet with USB C and DC in for industrial use?
    The Dual Power Supply (USB Type-C and DC-In) provides essential power redundancy. This feature guarantees continuous operation, making it ideal for critical Industrial Control and Commercial Display systems that require uninterrupted power across North America and Europe.
  • Is the battery removable for permanent, fixed installations?
    Yes. For most permanent HMI applications, we can provide the device optimized for Battery-Free Operation when connected to DC power. This eliminates battery maintenance and swelling risks for 24/7 Wall-Mount Control Panel deployments.
Connectivity & HMI
  • How does the USB Host port support complex HMI integration?
    The dedicated USB Host port ensures robust connectivity for critical external peripherals, such as Scanners, Payment Devices, specialized Sensors, or Printers. This transforms the 8-inch HMI Tablet into a versatile Data Collection and User Interface hub.
  • Why is an 8-inch display optimal for HMI Solutions?
    The 8-inch form factor provides a large, clear display for detailed application UIs (User Interfaces) while remaining compact enough for panel-mounting. It offers superior visualization for tasks like Machine Diagnostics or Complex Building Management Systems (BMS).
Customization (ODM)
  • What software customization does Pretech offer for this HMI Tablet?
    Our ODM services include: Kiosk Mode implementation, custom Android OS builds (removal of unnecessary apps/services), pre-installation of your control software, and configuration for silent Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates for easy fleet management.
  • Can the tablet's physical design be customized to match my product line?
    Absolutely. We offer Full Mechanical Customization, including: choice of CPU/Memory, custom Color and Logo Branding, tailoring the Bezel and Frame for a flush mount, and adding proprietary connectors (e.g., GPIO, RS485) required for specialized Industrial Automation protocols.
