touch screen monitors used in a manufacturing line quotation

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.

Identifying a long lasting, reliable and durable replacement to control batch production machinery, in place of the commercial PCs that keep failing when exposed to the frequent vibrations, jolts, vapors and fumes common to hazardous areas.

A flexible, durable and compact 15.6” high definition color touch screen monitor in a cast aluminum enclosure that connects to remote PC workstation with 75’ cable harness transmitting HDMI video, touch screen monitor and power.

Decreased Costs: Minimized replacement and maintenance costs required for commercial grade technology by opting for an industrial monitor and moving the commercial PC to a remote location. In turn, this reduced the risk of lost revenue resulting from production downtime.

Increase Efficiency: Improved efficiency and accuracy for batch production by increasing accessibility, flexibility, durability and reliability of an industrial touch screen.

Higher Safety: Installed durable equipment designed with tough materials (including shatterproof LCD and cast aluminum enclosure) that would not risk exposing technician to flying parts, sparks or ignition when operating in environment with paint, fumes and vapors.

Auto body shops were increasingly having a difficult time accurately mixing auto paint on-site. Frequent technology failures resulting from using commercial grade computers in paint mixing areas had significant financial implications, both from replacement costs and down time. The increasing costs associated with downtime and replacing technology were impacting the industry as a whole.

An industrial grade solution was necessary for the auto body shops that would help maximize uptime and increase batch accuracy. Looking to process automation facilities as ‘best practices’, Daisy engineers determined that auto body shops could continue to use their commercial grade off the shelf PCs in an off-site location. In the mixing room, technicians would need an industrial grade monitor paired with a high-precision scale that could connect via cable to the off-site PC.

The industrial grade monitor had very important specifications that would ensure it would offer a long-lasting solution in the auto body shops. It needed to be certified for Division 2 environments, to ensure it remained operable among the vibrations, paint, fumes and vapors common in paint mixing facilities.

The industrial display also needed to have a high-definition color LCD touch screen that would allow operators to use color matching software to ensure batch accuracy, as well as touch friendly screen to easily control the mixing machines. The accuracy of the color in the screen was high priority in the design of these industrial grade monitors.

The end result was the 2123 industrial monitor, a flexible and powerful viewing solution for advanced process control. This cast aluminum industrial 15.6” touch screen features an HD color LCD multi-touch display approved by FM for Division 2 applications. With a 75’ cable harness connecting the HDMI touch screen, video and power to a commercial grade PC in a remote location, integration with a broad variety of automation equipment and software is simple and easy. For maximum viewing capabilities, the multi-touch display also featured an adjustable stand, as well as a VESA mounting pattern.

The 2123AA industrial monitor is a low-cost, flexible HD monitor that can be connected to a PC using the cable harness or a KVM extender in any Division 2/Zone 2 hazardous area.  It is designed to enhance process control and would be a great solution for the food, pharmaceutical and chemical facilities that frequently use industrial monitors to monitor and control batch production.

Other industries that will find the 2123AA to be a great solution in process and machine control is petrochemical, as it derives chemical and plastic products from petroleum, as well as a reliable monitor to control drill and well performance in the oil and natural gas exploration as well.

The TSD-45 series is available in screen sizes from 10” up to 24” and the monitors are completely sealed with an IP66/IP69K waterproof rating. They come standard with grade SUS304 stainless steel housing, which will never rust, even after years of daily wash downs, and can be upgraded to SUS316L stainless steel, which is rust proof even to salt water. Inputs and outputs include HDMI, VGA, USB, and DC Input, all of which come with M12 connectors, for a fully waterproof solution. For use outdoors, this series has optional 1000 nit high brightness, optical bonding and ambient light sensor for auto dimming. These monitors have touchscreen options including P-Cap touch, resistive touch, and a durable glass non-touchscreen. Another optional feature is integrated IP65 rated speakers, which is often used for an alarm or signal on production lines.

In addition to being easier to use and access, touch screens have almost no footprint because they are built into the operating machinery. They also have the ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time and they can be easily customized for different operating systems.

Touch screens draw power from the machinery they are part of, and when you add in the fact that they are easy to install and can be upgraded with little effort, it’s easy to see why they’ve become an industry standard.

In many cases, the first indication of a problem is that the screen becomes unresponsive – this can be caused by built up dirt and grime, extreme temperatures, scratches, and employees using pens and other objects on the screen, instead of their fingers.

Like any other type of system, touch screen monitors rely on motherboards, internal circuits and components that can break or malfunction. Power surges can destroy these components and affect the screen’s performance.

Don’t forget that touch screens rely on operating software in order to do their job. Depending on the manufacturer, you can usually visit their website or contact their support team and determine what new drivers or software patches need to be installed.

One of the more popular brands of touchscreens on the market is the PanelView line from Allen-Bradley – which is owned by Rockwell Automation. The monitors’ dependability and reliability are well documented and are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, chemical, and food and beverage.

Touch screen monitors can withstand a great deal of abuse, but like any piece of equipment, they may break down or start to show signs of failing,ACS Industrial can help.

Through 2024, Grand View Research finds, the global touchscreen tech market is projected to grow 6% year over year. Transparency Market Research suggests even greater growth — at 8.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

In simple terms, touchscreen displays are in high demand, which begs the question: Will standard design and development processes garner more market share, or will custom touchscreen display products be in even greater demand?

For product designers, engineers and manufacturers, custom vs standard can mean the difference between a positive, profitable go-live or an unnecessarily lengthy rollout that satisfies few parties — or customers.

Even small design tweaks, features and requirements that diverge from a standard setup would best be handled via a custom process. Every add-on and suggestion is feasible — but is best suited for a custom design, so it’s imperative that the goals of the design are clear before concepting begins.

Additionally, custom parts are 100% trackable across the world, meaning the money, expertise and bespoke design you put into the development process are secure between you and the manufacturer.

Lastly, “standard” often implies “cheaper,” but that’s not always the case. Customized touchscreen display products can be designed specifically with cost efficiency in mind, so application-specific implementations can actually generate reduced unit production cost. If you stick with a standard build, you’d be stuck with any standard inefficiencies as well.

At New Vision Display we like to segment our custom product development process into five phases. Here’s a quick walkthrough of what that typically entails:

To start, all stakeholders need to agree on the what, where, why and how. NVD likes to begin with a preliminary questionnaire that covers items like:What problem are you trying to solve?

During step 1, we’re also evaluating how to best partner with a customer and whether a product is technically or commercially feasible. Then we’ll quote the engagement.

Once a preliminary quote and proof of concept are approved, we offer a final, formal quote for the project and make a production order for materials required. The custom touchscreen and/or display components are now ready to be fully designed and engineered.

Beginning with a short-run production of the part(s) and culminating in the final mass-produced version, NVD prepares the quantities necessary for a product launch.

When prospects look for a product development partner, they more often than not have an “idea” of what they want but haven’t fully crystallized the details. They may even have strong preferences on what’s right, but it’s NVD’s job to steer prospects toward what is going to actually work in the end – 1 year, 5 years, 10 years from now.

It’s always best to be upfront when embarking on a venture like this. If there are clear issues with an RFP, a quote or a design sample, they need to be addressed before moving into subsequent phases of development.

In total, it can take 3-6 months to get a custom touchscreen display component to market for consumer applications. Industrial or automotive applications might take 1.5-4 years. Products for the medical market can run 3-6 years. Here’s a breakdown of the markets we serve.

Regardless of product or application, there are a number of key factors that can either speed up the process or at least avoid extending it, including:Padding lead times by a week or two to allow for setbacks, changes or unexpected (but inevitable) delays.

Conferring on any stakeholder vacation. If all authority runs through individual stakeholders, a vacation can set back development and design by weeks. Factor in disparate time zones around the world, and approvals can grind to a halt. Embed any time off into the quote and production timeline.

If customers purchase, for example, an LCD and a touch panel from the same supplier, they only have to operate through a single vendor who owns the end-to-end process. This integration makes it much easier to navigate complex product-design timelines without being sucked into the back-and-forth that accompanies multiple suppliers offering multiple answers and introducing multiple vectors for potential delay.

When looking at medical computers and equipment, the monitor is usually an afterthought. The most common misconception is that all monitors are the same, just different sizes. However, this is untrue. There are various features and options differentiating medical grade monitors. No matter how good the computer is, ultimately the monitor is what healthcare workers will be interacting with all day.

Durable construction to withstand healthcare disinfectants, crisp image, and medical certification shouldn"t be overlooked. Medical grade displays are designed to be used for many purposes from radiology reviews to surgical applications. That"s why their accuracy, reliability and lifespan are much longer than consumer monitors.
