Virtually unbreakable screens

At the event (on a shared stand with partner Panda Products) JLT will demonstrate its PowerTouch projective capacitive touch (PCT) display technology, which is said to be setting a new standard in terms of usability and reliability in the face of some of the industry’s harshest applications.

JLT will be showcasing two of its industrial computers equipped with the PowerTouch technology. The compact VERSO+ 10 mobile computer is suited for the heavy-duty and logistics segments. The JLT1214P forklift computer is suited for logistics applications, ranging from warehousing and food distribution to freezer storage and cross-docking.

Both computers, equipped with PowerTouch technology, offer users an interaction experience similar to that of consumer devices, but with a 0.07 in (1.8 mm) thick, chemically toughened glass cover, the screens are far more resilient, making scratches, scuffs or breakage a thing of the past, says the firm.

Unlike resistive screens, that typically fail in areas where keys are regularly pressed, PCT screens aren’t susceptible to wear and tear and are ideal for use with virtual keyboard technology, giving users even greater flexibility in their logistics operations. 

In addition to this robustness, PowerTouch screens share the capability of resistive touch screens in that they can be operated with gloves of different materials and thicknesses.

Combined with an Intel quad-core processor the PowerTouch screens also exhibit very fast response times, which means that after touching the screen the response appears to be instantaneous. This responsiveness is unparalleled in the industrial and logistics sectors. Finally, advanced control firmware, which filters out unwanted signals caused by water droplets on the screen, means that these screens can also be deployed in wet environments.

As a result of all these performance capabilities, PowerTouch screens can offer a service lifetime as long as the computer itself, minimizing disruptive down time and resulting in higher service levels and greater customer satisfaction. Booth 7G78
