Touchscreen Capabilities - UICO Blog

Outdoor and industrial PCAP touchscreens face challenges that standard displays are not built to handle. Rain, snow, chemical washdowns, temperature swings, and electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment can all cause false touches, missed inputs, or erratic performance. Advanced PCAP touchscreen firmware calibration, touchscreen electrical noise filtering, and waterproof touch panel design help rugged touchscreens perform reliably in extreme environments. Advanced fi

Why Industrial Operators Are Replacing Resistive Touchscreens with Modern PCAP Technology Many industrial systems still rely on legacy resistive touchscreens that were installed years ago. While these displays may have served their purpose, today's operating environments demand greater reliability, improved visibility, and a more intuitive user experience. From oil and gas facilities to manufacturing plants and outdoor control systems, operators are increasingly replacing agi

Military environments demand far more from touchscreen technology than typical commercial or consumer applications. Whether integrated into military vehicles, command and control systems, portable field equipment, naval systems, or aerospace platforms, touchscreens must perform reliably under some of the harshest operating conditions imaginable. For defense contractors, OEMs, and system integrators, selecting the right military touchscreen is critical to mission success. A to

Industrial environments demand equipment that can withstand tough conditions while delivering reliable performance. UICO’s 15" Legacy Cutout Widescreen Touchscreen answers this need with a design that balances durability, compatibility, and flexibility. Building on the mid-size panel mount family introduced earlier, this model stands out as a versatile solution for many industrial applications. PCAP Panel Mount Designed for Industrial Strength and Longevity The 15" cutout pan

Outdoor and industrial environments demand more from touchscreen displays than standard commercial monitors can provide. Bright sunlight, moisture, temperature extremes, and demanding operating conditions can quickly expose the limitations of conventional touchscreens. To help OEMs and system integrators solve these challenges, UICO has introduced its new 19” High Bright Panel Mount PCAP Touchscreen, engineered specifically for rugged industrial and outdoor applications and m

Electrical noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) are common challenges in industrial, military, and vehicle environments. These conditions can interfere with projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens, causing false touches, missed touches, or unstable operation. Proper touchscreen design and controller tuning are essential for reliable performance in electrically noisy environments. UICO are specialists in this area and will help not only design, but help integrate this

Touch screen technology continues to transform how we interact with devices across many industries. This post introduces the first model in Uico’s mid-size panel mount family, highlighting its features, benefits, and practical uses. Uico’s new 12.1 inch PCAP panel mount touch screen offers a reliable and versatile solution designed to meet the demands of industrial, outdoor, and commercial environments. We also will introduce the 15", 15.6" and 19" in this series. 12.1" Panel

When designing industrial or outdoor equipment with an LCD touchscreen, one of the most important design decisions is whether to use an air gap display or an optically bonded display. This decision affects visibility, durability, touch performance, and long-term reliability. What Is an Air Gap Display? An air gap display has a small air space between the LCD and the cover glass or touchscreen sensor. Air gap displays are typically lower cost and easier to manufacture but hav

Many industrial and outdoor devices must operate in direct sunlight, where standard displays become difficult or impossible to read. Sunlight readable touchscreens are designed to maintain visibility in bright environments such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, military vehicles, and outdoor kiosks. Understanding what makes a display sunlight readable helps OEMs design better products for outdoor use. What Is a Sunlight Readable Display? A sunlight readable d
