Trusted by Air Liquide, Arkema, Dow Chemical Company, and DuPont, our computers, monitors, and workstations are built for safety in hazardous areas.
ToughStation Hazardous Area Workstations are equipped with Type-X or Type-Z purge systems for human-machine interface needs in Class 1 Division 1 and Class 1 Division 2 applications.
Available with panel mounting, a recessed keyboard, or an ergonomic keyboard, our ToughStation workstations' fully sealed keyboards, touchpads, and additional peripherals are designed for safe operation in hazardous environments.
Optional peripherals that enable system control include user-assignable function buttons to stop and start connected machinery and security-centric ID scanners to ensure that only authorized individuals can access and operate your computer systems.
When connected to existing equipment, VarTech System's computers record the safe handling of emissions, waste, and energy usage. This helps chemical plants comply with governmental and industry regulations and efficiently track their power consumption, safety standards, and overall environmental footprint.
VarTech Systems' fully sealed stainless-steel HMIs resist the ingress of dust, water, acids, and alkaline materials with IP and NEMA protection ratings, including IP65, IP66, NEMA 4, and NEMA 4X.
With up to 1800 nits, our high-bright LCDs offer operators clear display viewability in bright industrial environments.
Our in-house optical bonding process, taking place in our Class 10000 cleanroom, reduces the effects of glare from ambient lighting.
In addition, our units are often equipped with PCAP (projected capacitive) or standard resistive touchscreens, which, among other advantages, are operable when workers use a stylus or wear PPE such as safety gloves. The outer protective glass resists wear from deep cleaning processes, enhancing the product lifespan in areas that require daily sanitization.
Where the precise control and analysis of manufacturing parameters are essential, our computers and HMIs support your data-measuring systems and sensors, integrating a hazardous area-reliable process control system.
VarTech's computers offer a wide selection of accelerators, GPUs, and processors and up to 128 GB of RAM for high-performance to future-proof your operations.
Our units connect seamlessly with countless software platforms and technologies to help detect unsafe conditions, such as leaks on the plant floor. We offer options for safety-centric peripherals, including emergency signal lights and alarms that activate in the event of a process failure. AI-based vision monitoring software integrates with our hardware for instantaneous notifications or lockdowns.
The non-incendiary design of our fully sealed and certified C1D2 ToughStation computers and monitors, as well as our purge-protected ToughStation HMIs, protect operators in hazardous areas where chemical production processes occur.
