Spectra-Panel Z-Series meets requirements of the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Hygiene requirements are particularly high in the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Since the spread of particles, germs and other contaminants must be prevented at all costs, materials are used in the production process whose contamination potential is as low as possible.

Special format, high resolution, suitable for industrial use and even with touch! Is it all possible? All this is possible with DMB Technics. With the small bar-type TFT display, the most diverse application wishes can be realised.

A separate category of computer-based operating and display systems are large format displays that offer a high reading distance in order to provide those present in public spaces, offices, factory halls or outdoors with a display of notices, messages, news or advertising. These devices are called digital signage systems.

The two particularly compact and flat silicone keyboards DS85S and DS105S TP from Printec-DS offer full functionality, are very space-saving and designed for the harshest, industrial applications (IP68).

Spectra PowerTwin: Displays optionally in 4:3 or 16:9 format. When equipping an entire production line or manufacturing facility with display units, i. e. industrial panel PCs or monitors, it makes sense to use one product series for many reasons: Setup, maintenance and replenishment is much easier. You save time and also money and, in addition, the uniform design offers aesthetic benefits as well as uniform installation.

Since time immemorial, many display manufacturers have been advertising ever higher resolutions for their panels. Yet resolution is only one of many characteristics of a high-quality display. For some years now, displays can be produced with such a high resolution that this criterion has become secondary. A high pixel density also has disadvantages with regard to the brightness or contrast ratio of displays. DMB Technics explains the advantages of local dimming and how this solution becomes...

When automating production lines according to IoT, the controls of all individual machines are networked with one to another and integrated into the Internet. This requires IPC and communication functions, so new hardware and software are necessary. MASS has developed a solution for this environment based on the Raspberry Pi.

With a broad automation product portfolio and technology solutions, Panasonic Industry is the partner for setting up solutions for fully connected production lines.

The Panel Mount HMI TANARO 7.0 BX PCT is designed for applications with high performance requirements. Garz & Fricke introduces the TANARO 7.0 BX PCT, the latest evolution of its existing family of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). The TANARO 7.0 BX PCT is the first HMI based on Garz & Fricke's new TANARO board.

The Wooden Touch Table is the latest application from Printec-DS. High-quality workmanship and extensive features enable fascinating applications. With its new touch table, the southern German manufacturer has created a scalable design that can be easily tailored to customer-specific requirements.

Spectra-Panel Z-Series meets requirements of the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. Hygiene requirements are particularly high in the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.

With the new interactive All-in-One PC AFL3-W07-AL2 ICP Germany extends its portfolio of compact PoE capable PCAP touch PCs for industrial use as operating and display unit.

Highly integrated, intelligent displays are in high demand these days. Most of the time, the modern HMI (Human Machine Interface) is complex and requires more processor resources than the control of the actual application. With a smart embedded display product, DMB Technics covers a large part of the requirements for current HMI and makes computing power available where it is needed.

UniStream: Compact All-in-One controllers now with 10‑inch display. or system integrators, compact All-in-One PLCs offer a particularly convenient way to implement interactive control tasks. If the appropriate programming software is also included in the package, implementing the tasks is particularly easy.

Dirt, dust, moisture and splash water are not uncommon in industrial environments. Panel PC systems that operate in this environment must offer IP protected fronts as well as be able to guarantee low-maintenance operation. The new industrial Panel PC series PPC-F-ULT5 from ICP Germany offers these advantages and forms the basis for powerful HMI solutions.

Implementing user interfaces and process monitoring intuitively in record time. Key in, turn and go – probably the best known and most intuitive HMI. HMIs – hardly anything is more ubiquitous, and no one gives them a second thought. The expectations of design, intuitiveness and functionality that are spilling over from the consumer world into industrial and professional applications are confronting programmers with ever more extensive tasks. The realization done in conventional programming now...

With the P210-10AI Panel PC, ICP Germany completes the fanless P-series with a 21.5“ variant equipped with True Flat PCAP touch technology. The P210-10AI offers a 21.5“ TFT-LC display with Full HD resolution (1920x1080) and 16.7 million colours at a colour depth of 8 bit.

Transflective displays are slowly but steadily gaining a higher market share. What are transflective displays, what properties do they have and how does the development continue? The article by display customizing specialist DMB Technics describes what is currently possible and gives an outlook on micro LED displays.

Solutions and innovations for factory automation, material flow, laboratory, and people counting. High-precision sensors for medical technology, high-performance control technology, and IIoT-based material flow solutions – Panasonic Industry Europe presents innovative products and solutions to meet today‘s challenges across industries and in society.

Printec-DS Keyboard has launched the DS1T product series of industrial single pushbuttons. Using the new series, existing systems can be expanded easily, and customer-specific new developments can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively. Thanks to the universal design of the buttons, combinations of different technologies are possible in a very small space.

Operating units for hygienically sensitive production areas must meet high requirements with regard to cleanability and disinfectability. The Panel PC FlatClient HYG developed by Kontron and the monitor variant FlatView HYG as a display and operating unit can be used in machine control, as process visualization and in quality control.

The ProGlove smart glove scanner has been in use for a number of years at TTI Europe, based in Maisach near Munich. Since deploying the ProGlove barcode scanners, the electronics distributor has unlocked multiple productivity efficiencies through its ergonomic handling, reliability and robust industrial design. Overall, the time saved due to the introduction of streamlined barcode scanning exceeds ten hours per day.

Local, stand-alone controllers offer benefits compared to central solutions in a wide range of different applications: They reduce system-wide data traffic, are resistant to interferences within the network, make troubleshooting easier and are very well suited to being combined with manual processes. Weidmüller's u-control 2000 web controller offers all these benefits and is based on open web technologies.

The completely new developed visualization system Simatic WinCC Unified, which is based on native web technologies, initially consists of the visualization software Simatic WinCC Unified and the new generation of HMI operator panels Simatic HMI Unified Comfort Panels. The new system provides the user with a solution for HMI and SCADA applications, and in the future also for Industrial Edge, Cloud and Augmented Reality scenarios.
