June 24, 2015 - Siemens announces Simatic IFP1900 PRO Flat Panels and IPC477D PRO Panel PCs with crystal-clear, scratchproof, 100% glass fronts that are highly resistant to chemicals..
Fitted with a rugged aluminum enclosure, the devices are designed especially for use at the machine level in harsh industrial environments and can be mounted either from the top or the bottom on a stand or supporting arm system.
Highlights include a special industrial anti-glare surface, excellent legibility even at large viewing angles thanks to the high image resolution and brightness, and the automatic detection of inadvertent touching or operation, for example, caused by catching the screen with the ball of the hand or the build-up of dirt on the panel surface. Projected-capacitive touch technology (PCT) enables single and multi-touch or gesture-based operation, even when wearing thin protective gloves, and images can be panned, zoomed, or hidden components shown both intuitively and quickly.
