In the dynamic landscape of the food manufacturing industry, operational efficiency and adherence to stringent hygiene standards are paramount. As this industry evolves, the demand for advanced control and display solutions has become increasingly vital. A critical challenge faced by food manufacturers is the requirement for display touch monitors that can withstand the harsh conditions prevalent in food processing environments.
To address this challenge and maintain safety and hygiene in food factories, display touch monitors must be resilient to factors like water exposure, chemical splashes, and extreme temperatures. The risk of broken or damaged screens contaminating the production process necessitates solutions that prioritise both reliability and safety.
Collaboration with Harford Control and Zytronic: A Unique Approach:
When FORTEC UK was approached by Harford Control, renowned for manufacturing versatile stainless steel touch screen terminals enabling direct data capture from connected devices and reducing human error, we recognised the significance of this project. Harford Control's terminals were well-suited for the food industry, streamlining workflows, ensuring data accuracy, and complying with food safety standards.
In collaboration with Zytronic, the leading touch sensor technology company, who can configure their unique PCAP (Projected Capacitive) sensing technologies in a myriad of material configurations, we embarked on a journey to develop a unique touch screen solution tailored for the food industry's specific requirements.
