Mission-critical industries, such as medical, agriculture, manufacturing, and industrial automation depend on human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to make operations reliable, secure, and efficient – even in the most challenging environments.
Unplanned downtime costs industrial manufacturers up to $50 billion annually. Recognising this, governments and private sectors are investing in new HMIs for industrial equipment to modernise outdated legacy systems. However, traditional technology solutions often fall short due to safety concerns, reliability issues, and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them less suitable for these demanding environments.
Enter: UltraTouch
To address these challenges, CTT has developed UltraTouch, a groundbreaking new capacitive-based sensor technology engineered to maximise efficiency and safety in mission-critical applications.
UltraTouch is transparent, flexible, solid-state, and thinner than a human hair. As a passive layer, it consumes very little power. It detects both the location and force of finger touches, while also providing a trigger for haptic feedback.
This all-in-one capacitive-and-force-sensitive technology ensures precise and accurate touch detection, delivering error-free performance that elevates both user interfaces and experience while ensuring superior control over critical systems and assets.
Issues like unintended touches, costly downtime, and operational uncertainty are reduced or eliminated by UltraTouch. Put simply, UltraTouch combines the ease of use of consumer touch devices with the durability, control and safety required in industrial settings.
The 7-inch UltraTouch touch display module
Now available via CTT’s growing international network of channel partners and online distributors, the all-new, premium 7-inch UltraTouch touch display module (TDM) is a standout from current market offerings.
The device is both reliable and versatile, with control and safety enhancement features to safeguard against financial loss and protect personnel and asset wellbeing.
For additional durability, the 7” UltraTouch TDM offers flush panel mounting for robust sealing against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in demanding settings.
The 7” UltraTouch TDM is designed to meet the needs of industries for which dependable HMIs for critical, high-risk operations are non-negotiable. It can be implemented across applications in manufacturing, medical, agriculture, oil and gas, automotive and much more. Use cases include, but are not limited to:
- Operational control: process start/pause/stop buttons, on/off switches, and variation sliders.
- User confirmation: security keypads and user confirmation screens.
- Industrial Equipment: process control, medical equipment, scientific instruments, precision farming consoles, and hazard warning systems.
The 7” UltraTouch TDM is plug-and-play, comes with a premium, high-resolution (1280x720) and high brightness (1,000 cd/m2) IPS LCD display with 800:1 contrast and 50,000hrs LED backlight life, a wide operating window (–30C to 70C), and can be easily programmed for customising and upgrading your HMI based on industry-standard Windows and Linux protocols.
Whether integrated into industrial equipment, portable diagnostic consoles, or live event control systems, the UltraTouch TDM delivers consistent, reliable control over your operations when it matters most.
