The multi-touch technology allows for maximum security in industrial applications.
The operating of touch panels with several fingers simultaneously offers numerous advantages for the user: usability is improved, thus making daily use more efficient.
Machine and plant engineers are seeking multi-touch solutions from both hardware and software suppliers.
COPA-DATA CEO Thomas Punzenberger said with the increased use of smartphones and tablet-PCs, multi-touch has already become a trusted form of technology and can also offer many advantages outside of IT.
We have intensively addressed and redefined the technology so that Multi-touch is also perfectly suitable for machine operation in industrial applications"
The HMI/SCADA solution, zenon, can fully recognize and process touch movements involving various contact points.
Zenon allows the user to comfortably page through function overviews, lists, directories and documentation.
The symbols can be arranged as required within a dock using the drag and drop capabilities of multi-touch, and the user can achieve a simple overview across the entire dock by scrolling.
The drag and drop capabilities can also be used in process and overview screens.
Users of the multi-touch technology profit from better usability, an optimum overview on the HMI and intuitive handling.
