AUTUMN 2025 RECAP
The Hong Kong Autumn Electronics Fair 2025 closed with steady traffic at our booth. Most talks came back to the same few questions, so we wrote them down.
The five questions we heard most
Is the front really sealed to IP65?
On the models specified that way the front panel is sealed for wash-down and dust; the rear is not. We show the gasket and the rating in the datasheet rather than quoting a number verbally.
Which Android version ships, and can it be updated?
It depends on the module inside the unit. We confirm the version per model in writing before an order, because the same housing can carry different boards.
Can the panel run our own app on a clean Android image?
Yes. Units can ship with a clean Android image and no preinstalled store, which is common for kiosks and meeting room panels where the app is loaded as an APK.
What is the lead time for 50 units?
Stock models ship in days; a housing or port change adds tooling and validation time. We quote the split in the offer so the number is traceable.
What is the minimum for an OEM housing?
It depends on the change. A logo and a colour are low; a new cut-out or a new bezel needs tooling and a higher minimum.
What drew the most attention
Two groups stood out. Fanless panel PCs for food and beverage counters, where cleaning matters more than raw CPU speed. And Android all-in-one panels used as room booking or queue displays, plus self checkout kiosk builds where the buyer wants PoE, a clean wall mount and a screen that stays readable at an angle.
What happens next
Every conversation at the fair ended with either a datasheet or a dimensioned drawing, and both are available on request outside the show. If you visited and did not get the file you asked for, the fastest route is to send the model number and the port list again.
Check the range
The models discussed here are listed in our collections, from industrial panel PCs and kiosk hardware to retail pos hardware, with port maps and panel sizes on each product page.
◆ fanless panel PCs
◆ Android panel PCs
◆ PoE meeting room tablets
If you need a drawing or a port list for a specific model, send the requirement and we will reply with the document rather than a brochure.
