End-to-End Touchscreen Integration for OEM by UICO
Appliance
In a world that increasingly relies on responsive and rugged interfaces, choosing the right touchscreen partner is a critical decision, especially for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) working in high-performance industries. We provide complete touchscreen integration for OEM. At UICO, we don’t just manufacture projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens; we engineer complete, integrated solutions that take you from the lab to the field with confidence and reliability.
From the Lab to the Field: UICO is not Just a Vendor, but a Design Partner
Deep Partnership from the Start
Unlike off-the-shelf touchscreen providers, UICO positions itself as an extension of your engineering team. From the moment you engage with us, our U.S.-based engineers work alongside your team to understand your specific use case, performance requirements, environmental challenges, and integration needs. Whether you’re developing a medical device, an EV charging station, or rugged industrial equipment, UICO becomes a collaborative design partner—not just a vendor.
We know that each OEM project is unique, and so is our approach. Through tailored consultation, technical guidance, and full lifecycle support, we help transform your vision into a viable product that performs flawlessly—no matter the conditions.
U.S. Based Engineering and Global Reach
-
Our home base in Elmhurst, Illinois is where innovation meets hands-on engineering. With more than 120 years of combined experience across our growing technical team, we bring a deep well of knowledge to every project. And because we’re located in the U.S., you get rapid communication and direct access to support without delays or time zone barriers.

At the same time, we have global personnel and manufacturing partners to support scale and logistics. Our network ensures you benefit from local collaboration with global reach.
Customized Touchscreen Solutions for OEM Innovation
UICO specializes in custom PCAP touchscreen solutions that are purpose-built for harsh and demanding environments. We begin by understanding the physical, mechanical, and environmental constraints of your design. Then we craft a touchscreen solution that integrates seamlessly with your product, both mechanically and electronically.
Need glove and water operation? Extreme temperature tolerance? Custom user interface performance or branding? We optimize all of that, and more.
Key Capabilities:
-
Custom touch tuning & front-end design
-
Sensor layout tailored to your system
-
Integration support for EMC, mechanical fit, and display compatibility
-
Prototyping and fast iteration cycles
-
Support for high-mix, low-volume programs typical of specialty OEM products
Engineering That Solves Real-World Problems
Once a product leaves the lab, the real test begins. Our touchscreens are engineered to perform reliably in the field, even in the most challenging applications. From moisture-heavy environments to high-traffic public interfaces, UICO touchscreens deliver lasting performance. Here’s how:
-
Durability: Our rugged construction uses chemically strengthened cover glass and sealed designs for water, dust, and chemical resistance.
-
Extreme Temperature Range: UICO screens operate from -40°C to +85°C, with no loss of performance.
-
Superior Touch Performance: Whether your users wear thick gloves or operate in the rain, our sensors maintain accurate, responsive touch feedback.
-
Ease of Cleaning: Perfect for medical and food-safe environments where disinfection is critical.
These real-world performance features are the direct result of our engineering-first approach and continuous innovation.
Touch Screen Lifecycle Support You Can Count On
For OEMs in regulated industries or long development cycles, component stability is key. That’s why UICO offers long-term support and carefully manages supply chains to ensure consistent performance across product lifecycles.
We’re there for your initial design, prototype, validation, and scaling phases. And years later, we’re still supporting your fielded systems with engineering continuity, replacement planning, and upgrade paths. This full-spectrum support is one of the reasons UICO has shipped over 10 million touchscreen solutions worldwide.
