Industrial touch screens are becoming part of our everyday life, especially with more and more businesses realising the benefits to customers and staff, but do you choose an industrial grade product or a normal display like a standard screen monitor, for your application? Let&#;s look at what makes a touch screen industrial grade, the top features, the key advantages, and who is using them.

What are Industrial Touch Screens?

Before we look at the advantages of an industrial touch screen, let&#;s first establish what makes a touch screen industrial grade.

Our touch screens are purpose-built with high-quality, commercial grade components and toughened glass with a stylish silver trim frame.

Our products are also rugged enough for use in high-traffic areas like public spaces.

Key Advantages of Industrial Touch Screens

Easy to Use, Engaging & Interactive

One of the biggest differences between an industrial touch screen and a standard display monitor is that an industrial touch screen acts as an input and an output device all on its own.

Using 10-point multi-touch technology, users are able to control the screen with fingertip gestures like pinch, pan and zoom to easily interact with content directly on the screen. This removes the need for a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse, just for a user to be able to navigate the device. The all-in-one touch screen solution is not only more convenient to use, it&#;s also visually appealing which attracts users and sparks a sense of excitement.

In some cases, like a workplace, interactive technology speeds up processes saving time, which is a direct cost-saving to the business. And in other situations, like customer-facing scenarios, interactive technology can keep a user more engaged to really connect with your brand and products.

Space-Saving, Secure & Easy to Install

Removing the need for separate monitors, keyboards and mouses, touch screens naturally save space, and offer a tidy solution as there are no messy cords to try and organise.

Floor standing touch screen kiosk designs are compact and offer flexibility to be placed where there is room available, plus they are portable and can be easily moved if your floor plan changes. Our kiosks, designed right here in Australia by our very own experienced team, offer tamper-resistant features with no exposed screws or rivets and have key-lockable access doors and secure PC access panels.

Desktop or wall-mounted touch screens can be safely secured at a convenient eye-catching level. These options do not require any floor space, but can be a little harder to move if your floor plan changes.

All of these three options are very easy to install.

Robust and Durable

Industrial grade touch screens are designed for constant use 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This means the technology behind the screen is designed for a single image to remain on the screen for long periods of time and not have an effect on the screen&#;s ability to produce a crystal clear sharp image. Often standard grade touch screens do not use this technology and can &#;burn out&#; quickly or &#;over-heat&#; compromising the quality of the image on the screen.

Industrial grade screens are also resistant to liquids and surface contaminants which can be harmful to the components inside.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Unlike a standard display with lots of components, like a separate screen, keyboard and mouse, an industrial touch screen is easy to clean with alcohol/isopropyl products. The flat bezel-free edge-to-edge glass screen has a smooth surface that can quickly be wiped over. There are no nooks and crannies that collect dust, grime and dirt that can be hard to clean. Given today&#;s COVID environment, this is a really important factor. Here&#;s a little more about using touch screens in a COVID environment.

Range of Sizes

Our touch screens currently come in seven different sizes from 10&#; to 55&#; allowing you to successfully mix&#;n&#;match screens to suit different applications. This creates a constant professional look that is visually appealing to your customers.

Customisable Features / Optional Peripherals

  • 2D barcode or QR code scanner

 Long Life Span Supported by a 3-Year Warranty Period

We are so confident in the reliability and construction of our touch screens we offer a 3-year RTB (return to base) warranty that gives you peace of mind. This is a really important factor when you think that these screens can be in constant use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generous warranty is longer than most offered on standard screen monitors.

Choosing the Right Industrial Monitor

When choosing your industrial monitor, it is important to take the environment it will be used in and its application into account. Will your monitor come into contact with any liquid? Dust? Does it need good brightness? The type of integration (rack-mount, panel mount, etc.) is also important. Which touchscreen is optimized for your application and what degree of protection do you need?

Depending on your working environment and planned application, you can choose:

  • The desired screen size and format. We define the diagonal (in inches) and the width:height ratio. The 6:9 and 4:3 ratios are the most well known, but it is also possible to have a 5:4 or a 16:10 screen.
  • The screen resolution. The resolution is the degree of detail of the image. It is expressed in pixels.
  • The brightness. This is the luminous intensity of the screen. If the screen isn&#;t bright enough, you will not be able see anything in full daylight. The luminosity is expressed in candela per square meter (also referred to as nits). The standard brightness is about 250 cd/m². Today &#;sunlight readable&#; monitors are available for use in very bright environments. These screens must have a brightness greater than 1,000 cd/m2.
  • The resistance of the monitor is the ability of the screen to undergo aggression in order to avoid short circuits or infiltration into your system. Several standards guide you in the choice of resistance to spattering of various substances (water, oils, solvents, etc.), shocks or more aggressive spattering in explosive areas (see paragraph on protection standards below).
  • The integration and mounting of the monitor. The VESA Mounting Interface Standard, or VESA mount, defines standards with which monitors are mounted: the hole dimensions, the screws used and the configuration of holes at the back of the screen.
  • Tactile or not. As touch screens monitors are increasingly used, if you choose one, you will have to study the environment in which it is used.
