Brief
Osaka, Japan — November 18, 2014 — Pro-face, the global leader in Human Machine Interface (HMI) and factory data communication solutions, is pleased to announce that it will begin taking orders for the FP5000 Series industrial flat-panel display supporting intuitive touch-gesture operation from today.
The FP5000 Series is an industrial flat-panel display that supports touch gesture operation and is mainly used in conjunction with industrial PCs. In recent years, intuitive touch gestures for screen operations such as scrolling and enlarging have become the norm for smartphones and tablets. However, standard touch panels use capacitive sensing technologies, meaning they will not respond unless pressed with a conductive object such as a finger or a dedicated stylus. Many manufacturers have therefore been faced with the inconvenience of being unable to use standard touch panels on the production work site, where operators commonly wear work gloves. By employing analog resistive technology in an industrial flat-panel display, Pro-face has made it possible for operators on the production work site wearing gloves to use intuitive touch-gesture operation. The FP5000 Series' use of analog resistive technology allows machines to be equipped with built-in two-touch operations aimed at preventing misoperation.
Based on our corporate slogan, Pro-face for the best interface, Pro-face aims to develop products that act as the best interface and can be connected to industrial machinery in a variety of production worksites.
