Gone are those times when the companies and the organisations didn't need a hi-tech system to handle them. Owing to the considerable increase in the business sector and thus, an enormous increase in the complexity of the organisational struc ----------------------------------------------------------Permission is granted for the below article to forward,reprint, distribute, use for ezine, newsletter, website,offer as free bonus or part of a product for sale as longas no changes a

In anindustrial environment where the display may have to endure contaminants suchas grease, dirt and dust or suffer the risk of getting wet then a sealed capacitivetouch screen would be the best option. These are very durable and rugged andmany of are manufactured for water and dust resistance (IP56 and IP65).When more clarity is required from the screen(most touch screens have less illumination than conventional monitors) such asfor surgical or medical use then surface wave panel-based touch screen is thebetter option. These use ultrasound to identify when they are touched and can easilybe damaged but they offer better clarity and optical accuracy than othersystems.If a touchscreen display is to be left in a public area, unattended or outside then thesimplest form of touch screen, the strain gauge, where the screen is springmounted on the four corners and the movement is measured when the screen istouched, is by far the most durable touch screen display. While they are not asresponsive as other types of touch screen they are often used when there is arisk of vandalism.
