1200 SERIES SMARTPANEL
Riedel’s next-generation SmartPanels open new perspectives into
multifunctional user interfaces.

Building upon the technology that powers Riedel’s SmartPanel app-driven
user interfaces, the 1200 Series SmartPanels represent a quantum leap
forward in workflow flexibility, power, and connectivity. Featuring multiple
full-color multi-touchscreen displays, innovative hybrid lever keys, theability to leverage apps for multifunctionality, and the ability to easily
