SCADA is an integral part of a business, not just its operations. The flow of data from the control room to the board room must be seamless. In the past, supervisory control and manufacturing information systems have not been integrated. This is changing and companies are realizing both investments only achieve their full potential when they are capable of seamlessly working together.

A touchscreen monitor incorporates the function of the pointing device into the display, replacing both mouse and keyboard. Interaction with the computer takes place via a system which detects contact with the screen surface.

These devices are used for the control of industrial machinery or production lines. They provide the operator a comprehensive view of the needed data and controls.

Resistive screens are differentiated by the number of wires they have. The five-wire system compensates for their fragility, making them more durable and less prone to scratches and cracks.

Capacitive models respond to the transfer of electrical charges when touched, and cannot be used while wearing a glove. They are very bright, but have a fragile surface coating. Projected capacitive versions take advantage of the proximity transfer effect. Their surface is protected by reinforced glass.

Infrared technology uses light detection, the screen responding even before it is touched. However, it offers limited resolution and is prone to accidental activation. The most common type is the surface acoustic wave (SAW) screen. It responds to a wide variety of touch techniques, some screens even taking into account the amount of pressure applied. It is very bright and has excellent resolution.

In addition to size and resolution, choice of touchscreen will depend on the conditions under which it will be used and the possible need for multi-touch capability.

When you are renting touch screen monitors, think about how and where you will be using them. You may find that you need to have more than just a single monitor running at the same time. In addition, consider the size and the placement of the monitors before you rent or lease them just to be sure they are adequate for your space. Also, consider the audio for the monitor. Many will have speakers, but you may need to connect a separate audio source, if you even need to have audio. Read our KWIPPED Tip on how to rent or lease a touch screen monitor by clicking here.

The main feature of the device is the screen, naturally. The screen should be high quality, providing the best possible picture. It should also be sensitive to touch so that it is easy to use. This is true no matter how large or small the screen might be. Often, the screen may also have a remote control, a stylus, and other features to help make it very easy to use.

iPlanTables manufactures and brings you the best Custom touch screen monitors workstation with cutting-edge technology, built with the highest quality steel and not flimsy AV stands.

If you are a contractor and have finally decided to go paperless and switch to work on a digital workstation, then iPlanTables has the best solutions for you.

iPlanTables is the United States premier provider of large-format touchscreen display workstations for general contractors, subcontractors, estimators, plan reviewers, examiners, and anyone who uses wide format spreadsheets or documents.

We create several Custom touch screen monitor models for clients who want to transition from a paper-based to a digital workflow to help examine and annotate building plans, specs, spreadsheets, and photos. Good candidates are desktops, sit-stand workstations, conference rooms, and job trailers.

We at iPlanTables have helped hundreds of clients go digital with their plan review and markup process. We challenged the building industry"s attitude of "I"d rather fight than switch”, and demonstrated how an old dog could learn new tricks by using a large-format touch screen monitor that allows you to see your complete drawing without the frequent panning, zooming, and scrolling that small desktop monitors and laptops require.

iPlanTables looks forward to discussing your shift to a "better than paper" solution, whether a Job Commander for your jobsite trailer, or a mobile sit-stand desktop workstation for your estimating team or project managers.

We can help you view your plans and be more productive and effective with your project information. We even have a wall-mounted touch screen model for digital training and conference room collaboration.

Let us help and assist you with your next project as you transition from paper to digital estimating, digital project information management, and digital plan review.

Custom touchscreen monitors workstations from iPlanTables perform for an extended period of time, often longer than computers and conventional input devices such as a keyboard and mouse. Some touch screen gadgets can withstand hundreds of thousands of touches, allowing you to use them for years.

Touchscreen workstations from iPlanTables typically provide more commands than non-touchscreen machines. If a touchscreen device has multi-touch capabilities, contractors can squeeze the screen to zoom in or out of the display. Virtual keyboards, keypads, and other digital, touch-based input are all supported by touchscreen devices.

After implementing a touchscreen workstation in your workplace, you may observe a boost in your company"s productivity. They enable workers to accomplish tasks on a tablet with ease and convenience, increasing productivity. As a business owner, you should consider employing touchscreen devices in your office because enhanced efficiency often leads to higher profitability.

Touchscreen workstations also lead to higher employee satisfaction. Employees prefer touchscreen devices over non-touchscreen devices. They are simple to use, familiar, and natural, as evidenced by the beneficial influence on employee satisfaction.

Touchscreen workstations are highly responsive, activating touch commands even with light pressure inputs. Some touch screen gadgets are more responsive than others. iPlanTables uses projective capacitive touchscreen devices which are the most responsive.

First, however, you must select the appropriate touchscreen device to reap these benefits. Touchscreen devices are distinguished by their touch-based input form, although significant differences exist.

For example, resistive touchscreen devices employ pressure to register touch commands, whereas capacitive touchscreen devices use the conductive qualities of the human body to record touch commands.

iPlanTables Touch Screen Table Top Workstation has an articulating USA-Made Mobile Cart that adjusts from 0 to 90 degrees. It is also adjustable to Sit-to-Conference Room Height for Maximum Flexibility.

By combining the power of our Facility Manager with the functionality of extra side monitors for many active screens, we can create a video wall display of monitors for viewing plans, specs, documents, emails, and spreadsheets all at once.

The iPlanTables wall-mounted 45-Degree Collaboration Workstation with Built-In Wall Mounted PC transforms from the traditional conference room height to an iPlanTables 45-Degree Collaboration Workstation with Built-In Wall Mounted PC.

Because of this, touchscreen displays will play an important role in allowing digital collaboration between hybrid teams to continue in a seamless way. Up until a few years ago, touchscreens were clunky devices that were too complex and difficult to use. But improvements in the accuracy of the touch interface have enhanced the user experience greatly. You can now use them with the familiarity of your personal touch devices.

There are a number of great reasons for using digital devices in your sessions, but choosing which touchscreen display to get is not that straightforward. The touchscreen display market is becoming increasingly crowded with many different brands, screen technologies, sizes, and extras to choose from. And more importantly also the space, software, methods, and people need to be taken into account before such an investment is made.

For a smooth MURAL experience we recommend using a good graphics card and at least 8GB of RAM (but preferably 16GB of RAM). This will make sure the touch experience is smooth.

Try quick drawing and moving sticky notes in MURAL to see how the latency (delay) of the screen is. The less latency the better, as we’ve seen screens not being used because of their high latency.

By asking yourself each of the questions below, you can make sure that you are making an investment in a touchscreen display that will allow your hybrid, remote, and in-person teams to collaborate effectively.

Start with the question: what is the main purpose and use case for this touchscreen display? Too often we have seen touchscreens collecting dust because the purpose for using it wasn’t clear from the beginning.

Work here is often done in break-out groups of five to eight people where they will work on one screen to solve a problem using a variety of techniques. This set-up is very flexible and groups are often moved around different areas of the space. Touch experience, multi-touch (allows multiple people to work on the screen at the same time) and movability of the device are very important here. The screen size can also be a bit smaller. For instance, you can even do breakout group work on a 27” touchscreen monitor set up on a hightop table.

In a presentation room a presenter conducts a speech or presentation before an audience of attendees. This can be the plenary section of a workshop or a presentation on itself.

The only person interacting with the screen will be a presenter or facilitator, to display their presentation, synthesize work and make annotations. The larger the screen the better here. Sometimes it is even connected to a large projector for bigger groups. Multi-touch experience is not crucial. And the screen might be in a fixed position.

The purpose of meeting rooms is often to make decisions (on budgets or project plans for example). These meetings are typically short (max. one hour), attendees work standing up or sitting down, and include 2 to 8 people.

Touchscreen displays typically come in screen diameters of 55”, 65”, 75” and 85”. But also 27” touchscreen monitors such as the Microsoft Surface Studio could work well.

If we bring this back to the use cases mentioned earlier, break-out sessions in innovation labs are often best served by a 55-65” screen, but the 27” Microsoft Surface Studio on top of a high table works just as well. For presentation rooms you would almost always need to go for the largest screen size, or even connect it to a projector with a larger screen size. And meeting rooms could best use a 55-75” screen, depending on the size of the room.

We’ve seen large touchscreen displays mounted to a wall in a meeting room where it was just being used for screen sharing like a normal TV screen. You want to avoid that.

The advantage of having the screen on a rolling stand is that its users will be able to work in the best places to support whatever task is at hand. It allows people to be more agile and creative. Which is essential for teams in innovation labs. But it can also provide more flexibility to meeting and presentation rooms, as you are likely not going to equip every single room with a touchscreen display.

Reasons for why touchscreen displays are fixed to a wall are because of saving space and aesthetics. But also IT might not want to have expensive equipment moving around. And the extra cost of a rolling stand might weigh in sometimes too.

Next to a big screen on a rolling stand, a smart projector like Adok is an interesting solution to provide a touch ‘screen’ in a portable format, that can be set up anywhere.

The adoption of any tool is driven by its ease of use. When something works well its use is seamless to the user, reducing the need for training and support. But next to ease of use, also security is an essential aspect of a device that is commonly placed in shared office spaces.

Built in PCs can run on Windows 10, but regularly run on an OS (Operating System) specific to the manufacturer (based on Android). These PCs are often very entry-level and just powerful enough for basic software.

Kiosk mode on the other hand prevents users from seeing the desktop, and just displays a, by the admin configurable, dashboard with the features the user needs for their session creating a one-click meeting space.

Microsoft has developed a specific Windows 10 version for their Surface Hub device that essentially provides a kiosk mode. UC Workspace and Kickle are two examples of software that aim to provide this type of control to any other device type.

OPS PC’s are shipped with every Operating System PC’s can have and are usually the norm for corporate clients, for example to run Windows 10 that is standard across other devices. Next to that these PCs are added to have more power in order to run more advanced software and have a better touch experience. Just like built-in PCs these can be set up both in PC/Desktop or Kiosk mode.

This is a new concept for touchscreen displays that is gaining popularity recently. Here the display is basically just an empty screen without any operating system. You just connect your own device to make use of the screen. It’s plug & play to project your device’s display on the big screen and use its touchscreen to control. This has two advantages. No worries for IT because there is nothing to secure on the touchscreen display. And ease of use for the user because they know very well how to operate their personal device.

The Microsoft Windows Collaboration Displays developed by Avocor and Sharp are great examples of this. But you can essentially connect your personal device to any touchscreen display. You can for example connect your device running Windows 10 to a Samsung Flip (that has an Android based OS) to run the apps you need.

To make a choice between these three modes it is important to review the use case, which OS is needed for the software users use and IT security guidelines.

Some touchscreen displays come with webcam and microphone integrated. Others are easily upgradeable with a camera plus microphone such as the Huddly. Both of these options work great when collaborating with a smaller team close to the screen.
