Distec supplies the Embedded box PC with a pre-installed Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2019 operating system. The Microsoft license, which is specially designed for the industrial market, guarantees worldwide use. The “BoxPC Pro 7300” offers easy installation and tool-free maintenance via knurled thumb screws that cannot be lost.
High security
A wide range of defined cables are available for connecting LVDS displays. In addition to the Docking Connector, the box PC offers a wide range of connection options: HDMI and DisplayPort for connecting
monitors, two Gigabit Ethernet ports with Intel® I219V or I211AT chipset, as well as two RS232 and two RS232/422/485, which can be set via the BIOS. As usual in the industrial sector, the PC has a watchdog timer. Further
To ensure cyber security, Distec equips the box PC with a wide range of security features. For Secure Boot, a TPM 2.0 chip installed on the hardware side handles drive encryption with BitLocker, for example. Distec offers optimum protection, for instance in the event of a power failure or an attempted manipulation, by creating a customized Windows 10 IoT image with activated write filter and other features.

Make waves with smart sailing jacket
Flexible display built into smart jacket shows live instrument data P
lastic Logic, designer and manufacturer of flexible, glass- free electrophoretic displays (EPDs), is enabling 878 to show readable navigational and other data on the sleeve of the smart sailing jacket, Project One.
Designed and manufactured in Hungary, Project One combines technological and material innovation to help increase the performance of both professional and leisure sailors. The jacket is made of graphene, an advanced material that is ultra-lightweight yet flexible – features that were also needed for the innovative display technology the company wanted to incorporate.

“We needed an extremely durable, low- power display to meet the most challenging conditions at sea,” says István Papp, CEO of 878. “Plastic Logic’s digital, foldable display met the criteria we set. An on-board unit transmits navigational and other data from the boat instruments to the display on the jacket via Bluetooth. The display stays light and visible in all conditions, which means sailors can easily navigate even the stormiest of waters.”
“We are excited to be on board and helping to drive 878’s innovative approach to smart wearables,” says Tim Burne, CEO, Plastic Logic. “It means that 878’s jackets can be designed not only as premium fashion

items, but also wearable tech solutions that can boost performance. Our display technology can be easily adapted for a wide range of wearable applications to enhance brand innovation.”
“The service from Plastic Logic has been outstanding, it was all hands on deck,” adds István Papp. “We’ve had fantastic feedback on the jackets, five sailing teams globally have shown interest in using the smart jacket. We definitely see further potential for this technology in other
apparel applications, including cycling and other sports.”
Johnson Lee, CEO of E Ink, one of Plastic Logic’s investors, says: “Flexible organic display technology for smart wearables is more robust than a-si or LTPS based flexible displays. We are delighted that E Ink’s materials with Plastic Logic’s flexible organic display technology is helping 878 to make waves in the market.”
