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 new 1200 Series SmartPanels represent a quantum
leap forward in workflow flexibility, power, and connectivity. Featuringmultiple full-color multi-touchscreen displays, innovative hybrid lever
keys, the ability to leverage apps for multifunctionality, and the ability toWith the new Control Panel App, third-party control, monitoring, and automation
