Industry
Intensive, continuous use in industrial environments places high demands on a monitor’s service life. However, seamless integration into machinery and plant to achieve a modern, functional appearance is also crucial to the success of the application.
Maximum touch precision and a high level of protection against dust and liquids ensure a reliable control interface that staff can rely on at all times in their day-to-day work.
Use Case: Intuitive machine control
A modern HMI makes operating a machine or system simple and intuitive. Touchscreens bring the control process to life and replace traditional control panels with buttons and indicator lights. Whether in the production hall or at the control cabinet – these control points must be reliable, robust and, above all, suitable for everyday use.
The environment around the machine can be harsh: dust, moisture or cleaning agents are part of everyday life for many touchpoints, and operation often takes place whilst wearing work gloves rather than with bare fingers. This is precisely what General Touch’s touch solutions are designed for.
General Touch manufactures projected capacitive (P-Cap) touch monitors that can be easily integrated into existing machine and plant control systems and are low-maintenance in operation. They are designed to withstand constant use – even whilst wearing gloves! – in demanding environments, with a high degree of protection against dust and liquids. For particularly challenging requirements, zero-bezel solutions featuring SAW and PIT technology are also available. Whether as an industrial touch monitor, panel mount or panel PC – each available in open-frame or rear-mount versions – there are suitable solutions for almost any installation concept.
Choosing the right monitor and the appropriate mounting solution is crucial to the success of the application. QUAD Advanced Systems advises and supports you in evaluating the available options so that you can create the best possible user experience for your machine or plant.
