Industrial computer manufacturer and solution provider OnLogic (South Burlington, VT) announces the release of the TM260 Industrial Thin Client, the newest addition to their line of ThinManager® Ready solutions. The TM260 ships with ThinManager Ready BIOS, making it easy to set up out of the box. It is the first ThinManager Ready thin client to offer Wi-Fi boot capabilities.
The hardware is leveraged by industry leaders for smart factory solutions. OnLogic industrial thin clients enable centralized management and, with support for up to three native displays, provides more visibility into the operations of a facility. ThinManager Wi-Fi boot allows users to boot their system through a Wi-Fi connection rather than wired Ethernet, a frequently requested feature among ThinManager users that was not possible prior to the release of the TM260. ThinManager can now be used on mobile equipment, like a forklift, robot, or utility vehicle, or in areas where it’s not possible to add a network drop, opening up new possibilities for users interested in leveraging ThinManagers wide array of client management capabilities.
The TM260, built around OnLogic’s Helix 330 industrial computing platform, is preconfigured for ThinManager OS. It is powered by the latest Intel® Celeron® and Pentium® processors in a low profile fanless system with 1x or 2x 1GbE LAN ports. Wi-Fi boot is expected to be available on additional OnLogic ThinManager systems in the future.
Each ThinManager Ready thin client from OnLogic is tested and certified for compatibility by ThinManager. A ThinManager Ready BIOS is pre-loaded onto OnLogic’s thin clients at the time of assembly. This step reduces cost and time associated with warehousing and imaging systems. When the system boots it automatically downloads firmware from ThinManager and looks for ThinManager servers on the network, making setup straightforward.
