JEA Technologies partnered with leading engineering firm, Restech, to design a touch screen that was suitable for underground mines. This touch screen needed to be rugged and reliable while still being at the right price point. It was also very important that the touch screen could be used while wearing gloves. The application of the touch screen was for a motor starter control unit.
The final design (as shown on left) is 7″ in size and is fabrictaed from 6mm thick toughened glass. It features bevelled edges as well as extensive printing.
