SMARTcontrol TOUCH

Industrial touch displays for the harshest environments – robust, elegant, future-proof.

Overview

Built for demanding environments.

The SMARTcontrol touch panels are industrial touch panels of stainless-steel and laminated safety glass construction for heavy-duty use in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in mechanical engineering. With protection rating IP69K at the front, they withstand aggressive cleaning agents and high-pressure cleaning.

We supply tailor-made solutions for your specific application and produce very small series for demanding environments. This makes the product far more flexible than off-the-shelf industrial PCs — in terms of housing, screen size and software configuration.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about SMARTcontrol TOUCH

What is SMARTcontrol Touch?

SMARTcontrol Touch comprises stainless-steel glass touch panels and touch controllers for harsh environments. The optically bonded glass touch stack features a projected capacitive (PCAP) touch sensor. The panels work as a pure operator panel or as a process controller with the SMARTcontrol FOOD software based on CODESYS PLC. Glass, TFT, housing and software can be customized.

Which areas of application is SMARTcontrol Touch designed for?

The touch panels are intended for the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, mechanical engineering and the process industry. In food production, they control showers, kettles, autoclaves, smoking and cooking machines. Other configurations control induction and soldering systems or, in the outdoor version, construction vehicles, construction machinery and rail grinding vehicles.

Is SMARTcontrol Touch also available in an explosion-proof version?

Yes, an explosion-proof version (“EX”) is available for the pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, mining and food industries as well as for preferment machines.

Which standards and certifications does SMARTcontrol Touch meet?

The touch panels bear the CE marking and are supplied with an EC declaration of conformity. EMC testing covers EN 61000-4-2, EN 61000-4-3, EN 61000-4-4, EN 61000-4-6 and CISPR 32 Class A. The manufacturer SMART IN OVATION is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Who is SMARTcontrol Touch intended for?

SMARTcontrol Touch is aimed at machine builders and operators in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and mechanical engineering industries as well as at construction machinery manufacturers and OEM integrators. The products are used worldwide together with SMARTcontrol IO modules. It is designed for harsh environments and can also be adapted to your needs for small series (from approx. 30 displays / year).
