Touchscreen Capabilities - UICO Blog

Industrial human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are changing. As manufacturing equipment becomes more sophisticated, the touchscreen is evolving from a simple control panel into an increasingly important interface for machine data, visual inspection, diagnostics, operator control and system status. For OEMs designing the next generation of industrial equipment, that evolution has important implications. Touchscreens need to display more information, operate reliably in demanding e

Outdoor interactive displays have to do much more than simply provide a large screen. Direct sunlight, rain, temperature changes, continuous operation and demanding public environments can quickly expose the limitations of conventional commercial displays. UICO is expanding its large-format outdoor touchscreen capabilities with 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch outdoor touchscreen displays designed for applications where visibility, durability and reliable touch performance matte

Industrial touch screens are expected to perform where consumer devices simply cannot. Whether installed on construction equipment, medical devices, military systems, marine electronics, oil and gas equipment, or factory automation, a rugged touch screen must continue operating in rain, direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, vibration, electrical noise, and while being used with thick work gloves. Not every touch screen is engineered for these conditions. Two displays may app

Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens have long been the gold standard for modern Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). They offer crisp displays, multi-touch capabilities, and a sleek, button-free aesthetic. However, deploying standard PCAP technology into extreme, rugged environments has traditionally been a battle against the laws of physics. In heavy manufacturing, military deployments, and outdoor installations, engineers are constantly fighting three major disruptors: ele
