Industrial Tablet Touchscreen Selection Guide
In the fields of industrial automation, smart cities, and medical equipment, the touchscreen of industrial tablet PCs, as the core interface for human-computer interaction, directly affects operational efficiency and system stability. Touchscreens with different touch technologies vary significantly in principles, characteristics, and applicable scenarios. Selecting the appropriate type needs to consider the actual application environment and functional requirements. I will introduce the differences between commonly used industrial touchscreens from technical principles, core characteristics to scene adaptation, while introducing how Zhichun products meet diverse industrial needs.
1. Resistive Screens: The "Durable Choice" for Harsh Industrial Environments
Resistive screens feature a multi-layer composite film structure, with 5-wire resistive touch screens being the mainstream option, offering excellent sensitivity and durability. This makes them ideal for harsh industrial environments, perfectly aligning with the rugged characteristics of Zhichun industrial products.
1) Core Advantages Enhanced by Zhichun Technology:
IP65 Waterproof & Dustproof: As highlighted in Zhichun's industrial touch panel pc series, resistive screen-equipped products adopt a fully sealed design, meeting IP65 waterproof standards, effectively resisting dust, oil, and liquid splashes—critical for food processing lines and outdoor equipment.
Extreme Environment Resistance: Supported by anti-high and low temperature resistance (operating in -20℃~60℃) and anti-vibration design, these screens remain stable in factory workshops with frequent mechanical vibrations or outdoor harsh climates.
Fanless Design: Integrated with Zhichun's fanless structure, they avoid dust intake from fans, reducing maintenance needs—ideal for unattended scenarios like remote monitoring terminals.
2) Typical Applications & Zhichun Product Matches:

Optical Bonding Technology: Equipped with GFF optical bonding screen, they reduce reflection and glare, ensuring clear display even in bright environments—suitable for control rooms with strong lighting.
2) Application Scenarios & Zhichun Solutions:
Digital Factory MES System: Zhichun's All-in-One Android Panel PCs with NFC/Camera integrate capacitive screens. With 24/7 operation capability, they support rapid data entry via touch,with IC, ID card reader and QR code scanner (customized modules), streamlining production management processes.
Medical Equipment Terminals: The 15-inch industrial Android panel PC with capacitive screen, featuring IP65 waterproof front panels, meets the hygiene requirements of medical environments, allowing easy cleaning while ensuring sensitive touch response.
Flexible I/O Interfaces: These products come with rich interfaces (multiple LAN, COM, USB3.0) to connect with various peripherals, enhancing system integration capability in smart scenarios.
3. Infrared Screens: "All-Rounders" for Complex Environments
Infrared screens, with their infrared matrix positioning technology, support operation with any object, boasting strong environmental adaptability—making them a perfect match for Zhichun's rugged product philosophy.
1) Core Advantages Integrated with Zhichun Technologies:
Anti-Interference & Stability: With electromagnetic compatibility, they resist interference from industrial equipment, ensuring stable operation in workshops with strong electromagnetic fields (such as Laser machine touch screen applications).
Wide Temperature Adaptability: Combined with Zhichun's anti-high and low temperature resistance, they work normally in -20℃~60℃, suitable for outdoor industrial outdoor Monitor and cold storage equipment.
Diverse Mounting Options: Supporting VESA mounting and embedded installation, as seen in industrial open frame panel pc series, they fit various installation environments like machine tool operation panels and automated equipment enclosures.
2) Zhichun Product Applications:
Laser Industry: Zhichun's 15 inch touch monitor panel pc for laser control cabinets uses infrared screens. With Intel i5 8th processor, 8G RAM, and 512G SSD, it resists high temperatures generated by laser equipment, and the infrared screen supports operation with protective gloves, ensuring precise control of laser parameters.
AGV Navigation System: Infrared screen-equipped industrial touch computer in AGV positioning via RFID technology enables stable touch operation during vehicle movement, with anti-vibration design ensuring no misoperation.
Outdoor Sunlight-Readable Scenarios: The industrial sunlight readable outdoor panel pc (such as 13.3 inch Industrial Panel PC) combines infrared screens with anti-reflection and anti-glare technology, ensuring clear display and accurate touch even under strong sunlight.
