Project Overview

FANNAL collaborated with a leading global heavy machinery manufacturer producing medium and small excavators for markets in China, Europe, India, and Brazil. The project required touch display solutions that could withstand extreme outdoor environments while maintaining high precision and durability.

Key Requirements:
  • Outdoor performance under complex climatic conditions
  • High reliability in industrial applications
  • Integration with irregular instrument panel designs
 

Key Challenges in Heavy Machinery Display

Strong UV Exposure
 
 
Continuous sunlight requires UV-resistant inks and bonding materials to prevent yellowing or peeling.
 
Irregular Panel Integration
 
 
Custom CNC cutting for non-standard angles and shapes to fit complex instrument clusters.
 
High-Precision Touch in Harsh Conditions
 
 
Maintain accurate touch under gloved operation, wet surfaces, and strong EMI interference.

  • IK10 and ATEX are often mentioned together—but they are not related standards. IK10 protects the device from external force ATEX protects the environment from the device
    Understanding this distinction helps ensure that displays are specified correctly, validated properly, and deployed safely.
  • Outdoor TFT displays are increasingly used in transportation, industrial automation, smart cities, retail signage, and outdoor kiosks. Unlike standard indoor screens, outdoor TFT displays are engineered to operate reliably under sunlight exposure, temperature extremes, moisture, dust, and physical impact.
  • Rugged touch screen displays are engineered to meet the demands of industrial and outdoor environments. Their durability, reliability, and usability under extreme conditions make them indispensable in applications ranging from factory automation to outdoor kiosks.
  • Selecting the right nits level is crucial for sunlight-readable industrial displays. Understanding the difference between nits and lumens, combined with surface treatments and optical bonding, ensures displays remain legible, durable, and reliable in harsh environment
  • If your product is deployed in direct sunlight for extended periods, UV radiation is a silent but continuous stress factor. UV cutoff technology acts like an invisible protective layer — blocking harmful radiation while preserving brightness and clarity.
  • When selecting an industrial display for demanding environments, one of the most important features to consider is the waterproof rating of the enclosure.
