Robust Display Solutions for Industrial Applications

Industrial applications require much more from displays than commercially available solutions can provide. After all, they often must perform optimally under extreme conditions in the industrial sector. Our customers require our display solutions to function perfectly under high temperatures, in humid and dusty environments. VIA optronics takes this into account its robust, user-friendly display solutions for industrial applications. They perform optimally in every situation and can withstand shocks, vibrations, condensation, and other challenging external influences.
Convincing examples of specialized applications in industry are extremely robust displays for heavy engineering, cockpit displays in ships or aircraft, displays for medical, or other industrial applications.

Challenges for Display in the Heavy-Duty Industry

Display technology is utilized in applications in the heavy-duty Industry like in trucks, forklifts, agriculture or construction machinery where efficiency, productivity, and sustainability are important performance indicators. Display technology can provide important functions like precision farming, automated machinery, data visualization, remote monitoring, as well as unique opportunities for training and education.

Nevertheless, for operating in these challenging environments, displays need to withstand the rugged environments that they operate in. Dust and water are ever present. Operators wear often hick, heavy gloves and yet want to still touch the display. Unpredictable vibrations shake the display regularly and the sun consistently shines making readability critical. All these forces the display solution to be extremely robust.

Display solutions by VIA optronics overcome these challenges with displays based on a patented optical bonding process in combination with a proprietary bonding material. Additionally, VIA can integrate a proper touch solution that allows operators to use their displays in even the most extreme condition. Additionally, display and touch solutions can be advanced with camera technology for e.g. mirror replacement systems. VIA solutions for heavy duty application convince through:

  • Sunlight readability
  • Dust- and waterproofness
  • Shock and heavy vibration resistance
  • Function in harsh environments
  • Glove function
