Information range from LB Foster including interactive, fixed and mobile totems, and informative screens with multi-touch projection capacitive technology zitronic for use in airports, train stations, etc.

Travelers at airports, train stations and other transit hubs now have easy access to up-to-date information about their transportation, thanks to the service provider’s interactive fixed and mobile totems and wall-mounted screens. LB Foster.

The novelty of this informative visual support, with a size 43″ both for the totem and for the screen, is that they integrate Projection Capacitive Multi-Touch Technology (MPCT) from zitronicvery durable, which has been provided Display Technologyyour UK distributor.

In particular, Display Technology brought two custom touch screen designs to LB Foster at its UK manufacturing facility, measuring 43” and for use both indoors and outdoors, often in unattended locations.

This TFT LCD Screen they can operate in a wide temperature range with low power consumption and offer high brightness. Each unit includes ZXY500 . multi-touch controller by Zytronic to provide fast performance in milliseconds in all types of weather.

The touch sensor is made of 6mm thermal tempered glass, with a back laminated polyester film and hard coating to offer optimal impact resistance and shatter resistance in case of damage.

The selected glass has an anti-glare coating for better image visibility in direct sunlight and the touchscreen also incorporates a UV blocking filter and IR reduction to protect the LCD screen underneath from sun damage and aid in overall system temperature management.

The wall-mounted totem unit and touch screen provide an interactive user experience, regardless of the environment and even when the user is wearing gloves, and is dust and rain resistant thanks to IP65 protection, scratches, extreme temperatures.

LB Foster’s new Inform touchscreen phone totem is designed to fit standard doors. It can run for 24 hours on a single charge and integrates with wireless connectivity to allow operators to manage content in real time.

It also offers the option for operators to locate their assets and check battery status remotely. Added to this is an optional NFC upgrade that allows users to upload information to their smartphone.

Dust-proof, waterproof (meets standard) IP65) and fire, totem pole certified for explosion proof ASIAD 2017 PBIED essential for critical facilities such as airports, stations and other busy public places.

Totem Inform also benefits from the high brightness TFT of little maxwith size 43” and 1,800 nits brightnesswhich have 106W low power consumptionimportant to maintain daily battery life cycle Inform.

When combined with the use of a digital light sensor and control card, brightness and power consumption are set in totems under the various lighting conditions that occur.

TFT supports a wide operating temperature, from -20 to 60°C with Flaw-free LCD Black technology (Hi-Tni 110°C), especially beneficial for maintaining visibility in demanding environments. The Litemax’s upgraded LCD module kit further enhances Inform’s performance, enhancing the passenger experience.

“Zytronic’s ability to manufacture this large format touch sensor is ideal for our low volume, but bespoke design requirements,” he explains. bradbury tradedirector of visual and structural communications, TEW Engineering, at LB Foster Europe.

The shatter-resistant polyester film laminated to the back of the touch sensor “also means that if the tempered screen breaks, Bradbury points out, it holds the tiny glass cubes together and continues to protect the screen underneath. To date, Zytronic has supplied several hundred touch sensors for mobile totem poles and wall-mounted units.”

The creation of a passenger information terminal, accessible to all members of the public, was key in this development. LB Foster’s Inform software has a ‘flip’ feature so that interactive elements of the user interface can be accessed from a height of 1.4 meters.

The graphical user interface (GUI) software also includes features for hearing-impaired customers. The company has plans to further modify the touch screen design and allow connection with speakers on the back of the glass to improve accessibility for users with vision problems, as well as to integrate ZyBrid hovering, which allows non-contact detection at 30 mm. away from the screen surface.
