  • Panel-mount monitors
    Panel-mount monitors


    Panel-mounted monitors are industrial monitors designed to be placed specifically within harsh environments, such as factories, warehouses, and industrial environments where there are special applications, which require robust and resilient computer tools.


    Panel Mounted Industrial Monitor: Features

    A panel mounted industrial monitor is best suited for all those applications that require it: for example, they are usually placed inside industrial machinery.

    Vesa monitors: what they are and 5 reasons why to choose them



    Vesa monitors are among the most widely used models in a variety of applications, ranging from manufacturing to industrial automation, from digital signage to chemical laboratories.

    But what exactly is the VESA standard, and what advantages does it bring to an industrial monitor?


    What is the VESA standard

    Let us take a step back. VESA is an acronym for Video Electronics Standards Association, an international organisation that develops and promotes standards for the monitor and display industry to ensure interoperability and compatibility between video devices by simplifying installation and use in different contexts.

    The VESA standard sets specifications for the mounting bracket of monitors, televisions and LCD screens, and allows displays to be securely and compatibly fixed on mounting brackets such as arms, stands or wall mounts.

    And applied to VESA industrial monitors?


    VESA industrial monitors are monitors that follow VESA mounting standards, with the four mounting holes positioned according to the parameters of the convention. The distance of the holes depends on the brand, model and screen size, and is generally indicated by the letters L (horizontal distance) and A (vertical distance).

  • Open Frame Monitors
    Open Frame Monitors

    Industrial open frame monitors are monitors without an external frame, specifically designed to be integrated into other devices, such as panels, machinery and control devices. In practice, they are open frame displays, without the frame for front mounting: the components are incorporated into the monitor structure

    You know those machines where the monitors seem to be integrated there, as if they were one with the machine? Those are the open frame monitors.

    Monitors belonging to this category are also available in different sizes and resolutions, with or without touchscreen, and can be customised according to specific requirements.

    "But since they have no outer frame, are they less resistant?"

    This is one of the questions our customers ask us most often. The answer is absolutely not: even though they have no external frame, open frame monitors maintain all the durability and resistance requirements that characterise all industrial monitors.

  • Rack Monitors
    Rack Monitors


    Rack monitors are flush-mounted industrial monitors designed to be placed specifically inside rack cabinets in environments such as server rooms or data centres.



    Rack Monitors: Features

    The Rack Monitors are mostly chosen to be placed inside Rack cabinets.

    For this, they have a special feature compared to other types: they are characterised by the presence of handles and have two holes on both sides, which allow them to be screwed into cabinets.

  • Large monitors
    Large monitors


    The large monitors are designed to meet the needs of advanced monitoring in businesses, offering optimal visibility and superior clarity on a display of 24.5'' and above.



    What are the dimensions of a monitor


    The most popular and widely used monitors in the industrial environment are 15'', 17'', 19'' and 21''. In these formats, monitors can be easily integrated into more complex machines or systems, facilitating process control and operator interaction with the machine.


    From 24.5" onwards, we speak of large monitors, such as 36", 45", 55", and so on. These devices are not so much integrated in industrial machinery as they are used for displaying production data, technical drawings and the progress of production processes in more detail, or even in control rooms or special projects.

  • In-vehicle monitors
    In-vehicle monitors


    In-vehicle Monitors are designed specifically for use in vehicles, such as:

       ●    Cars

       ●    Agricultural Machines

       ●    Ships and other vehicles


    Due to the particularity of their use, they have specific characteristics that differentiate them from all other types of monitors.

What is an industrial monitor


An industrial monitor is a type of monitor designed specifically for use in harsh environments, such as factories, warehouses and production sites, and in all those contexts that require special features.

Industrial monitors come in a wide range of resolutions and sizes, and can be subdivided according to the type of mounting they offer (panel, open frame, rack, etc.).

The distinguishing features of industrial monitors are:

   ●    resistance and robustness: they are built to withstand vibration, shock, dust, humidity, corrosion and other aggressive agents present in industrial environments;

   ●    operability over a wide temperature range: some industrial monitor models guarantee full operability even in extreme temperatures;

   ●    screen protection: they are equipped with scratch-resistant glass or protective screens to prevent damage caused by shocks or scratches.

   ●    versatile connectivity: To meet all the needs of industry (and beyond), industrial monitors offer several connectivity options, including VGA, DVI, HDMI and USB ports;

   ●    24-hour operation: they are designed to operate continuously for long periods of time, often 24/7, without overheating or malfunctioning;

   ●    different mounting options: they can be mounted on supports or arms to allow installation on walls, machinery and industrial vehicles, or embedded directly inside the control panel or digital totem;

   ●    optimised display features: industrial monitors can feature high-brightness LED backlighting, high resolutions and contrast ratios optimised for industrial use;

   ●    touchscreen: the screen of these monitors can also be touchscreen, which in turn is divided into resistive touchscreen (sensitive to touch pressure) and capacitive touchscreen (sensitive to difference in dielectric capacitance).

Why choose an industrial monitor

It is precisely their differences from conventional monitors that make industrial monitors the best choice for harsh environments, or those with special needs.

Here are all the advantages of these monitors:

1)    industrial monitors are much more robust than conventional ones, ensuring full operability and correct data readout even in the presence of dust, vibrations, humidity and temperature fluctuations - which can impair the operation of standard monitors;

2)    have a longer service life. In this way, you can save money and time in the long run, as you will no longer have to replace your monitors as often as you would with conventional ones;

3)    often include advanced functionality, such as the ability to interpret data from industrial sensors, and features optimised for harsh environments, e.g. more connections, higher screen protection, and different display touchscreen options. All this allows you to optimise your work or that of your operators and make your business processes more efficient.

4)    availability over time. The same model can be found on the market even after several years, which allows you to replicate the eventual machine without having to revisit the initial design from scratch.


For which applications an industrial monitor is suitable

Industrial monitors are widely used in a wide range of applications, such as:

   ●    industrial automation, to display monitoring and control data of machinery, production lines and automated systems;

   ●    manufacturing sector, for monitoring production processes, quality control, visualising assembly diagrams and monitoring machine performance;

   ●    process control, to monitor and analyse data and ensure efficient operations;

   ●    logistics and warehouses, to monitor stocks, inventory management, shipment tracking and control of handling processes;

   ●    energy and utilities sector, to monitor and control power generation plants, distribution networks and utility control systems;

   ●    food sector, to supervise packaging processes, temperature control and production line management;

   ●    automotive sector, to monitor assembly processes and machine performance, and visualise production control data;

   ●    digital signage, to display multimedia content in shops, shopping centres, retail outlets, hotels and restaurants, to provide useful information and directions at airports, railway stations, companies, and so on.
