Design & build

Why this model

What it does on the floor

Barcode capture 2D scan engine integrated

Keyboard-wedge, intent or SDK output — your app decides.

Ingress protection IP65

Sealed against dust and water on the floor, not just in a lab.

Runs your client Windows

Windows, Android or Linux build — confirmed against your app before dispatch.

Battery

Field-swappable packs and dock charging keep a shift running.

Application

What this model was built to do

A panel or box PC exists where the device is part of the machine: bolted to a line, a kiosk or a test rig, powered permanently, wired to the PLC over RJ45 or RS232. It is not carried, so the design goes into ports, mounting and fanless thermal headroom instead of battery life.

Line-side work orders and machine data — application photograph 01

Line-side work orders and machine data

The terminal is bolted where the work happens: work-order scan at the station, torque-tool data over RS232, a photo of the defect attached to the order. Coolant, swarf and vibration are the design constraints.

SOFTWARE

MES client (SAP ME, Siemens Opcenter, local MES), often Windows and often with a fixed IP address and a wired NIC. Confirm whether your MES tolerates a touch-only input method.

Production & MES
Deployment

Where it deploys — use, markets, bands, preparation

21.5" Windows rugged panel PC, IP65, -20 °C~60 °C — In deployment it is fixed install at the point of work — the panel is the product, the compute is specified to the workload.

HOW IT IS USED

  • Production line HMI: MES/SCADA client on the shop floor, IP66 front against washdown.
  • Warehouse fixed station: conveyor-side printing/scan station, runs the label and verify apps all shift.
  • Self-service kiosk: queue, check-in and returns terminals with card/QR payment integration.
  • Cold storage door station: freezer-rated panel with heated display option.
  • Runs the customer's existing Win32 client as-is — no app re-write; IT manages it like any Windows fleet (AD/Intune, GPO).

MARKETS & WHY

Global OEM/SI projects

Standard VESA/open-frame cutouts and 12–24 V / wide-input power fit existing cabinets.

EU food & pharma

IP66/IP69K fronts and stainless variants meet hygiene-zone rules.

Brazil / Mexico

Local-language UI (PT/ES) and 127/220 V supply variants; ANATEL/NOM paths for the radio options.

Southeast Asia manufacturing

Electronics/food plants standardise on this series; long-availability BOM for 5+ year projects.

RADIO & BANDS

Power12–24 V DC or wide 9–36 V; AC adapter per destination country plug set
Wireless (option)Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz · BT 5.x · LTE module where the cabinet cannot be cabled
Wired2× GbE (dual-LAN for OT/IT separation) · USB 3.x · RS-232/485 where specified
DisplayPCAP touch, glove/wet mode; optical bonding for sunlight reading

WATCH-OUTS

  • Front IP rating is not whole-unit IP: check rear/side rating against the actual install (wall vs arm vs cabinet door).
  • Sunlight-readable claims need the brightness number: 1000-nit panels cost more — confirm the ambient light at the mount point.
  • OT networks often require port isolation and legacy serial — confirm the I/O list against the cabinet before ordering.
  • Windows Update and driver drift are the top field failure on Windows units — lock the image and schedule update windows from the MDM, not the device.
  • Ethernet docks need a switch port and PoE budget at every fixed position — cable runs are the hidden cost of fixed installs.

WHAT TO PREPARE

  • Mounting type (VESA arm / open frame / flush) and cabinet cutout drawing.
  • Power available at the mount point (V DC or AC, which plug).
  • OS image plan: bare, Windows IoT licensed, or your golden image.
  • 5-year availability requirement — we lock the BOM in writing for projects.
  • Switch capacity and PoE budget at each docked position.

Bands listed are the default SKUs for each market — final frequency/certification confirmation against the local operator is part of the quotation.

Software fit

What your application needs from the hardware

Read this against your own client before the sample ships — it is the list that decides whether the device works on day one or on the third firmware build.

Machine link
RJ45 to the PLC, RS232/RS485 to legacy controllers, GPIO where the line needs a hard signal.
Mounting
Panel cut-out, VESA arm, DIN rail or a sealed enclosure on the machine frame.
Software
SCADA/HMI runtime, MES station client or a kiosk browser — usually Windows, sometimes Linux.
Uptime
Fanless thermal design, 24/7 power, watchdog and auto-restart after a power cut.

Questions about the BPC-P21J

Before you order

Stock, configuration, software compatibility and what happens when a unit fails. The answer comes from the person who configured it.

All questions
01Who is behind this site?
Bastion Rugged is the trading front of Bright Alliance Tech Limited, Shenzhen. We design and build rugged mobile hardware — barcode scanning, UHF RFID, NFC, biometric capture — and we sell it to system integrators and solution providers rather than to consumers. The tooling, PCB and antenna work happen with our own engineering team, not through a trading desk.
02Can you supply five units for a pilot?
Yes. A pilot is the normal entry point. We quote single units at sample pricing and support the pilot with spare parts on the same order — a spare battery and a cradle, not a pallet.
03Do the Android units ship with GMS?
Most Android models ship with GMS. For builds where Google services must be absent, we supply a GMS-free firmware on the same hardware — say so at the quotation stage, because it is a firmware decision, not a setting.
04What warranty do you give?
One year as standard, covering the unit and the battery against manufacturing faults. Extended cover and advance-replacement terms are available for fleets — ask for them with the quotation, not after the first failure.
