AMR-Optimized Display with Responsive Touch Firmware Boosts Cobot Efficiency
12/19/2024
Industry: AMR & Robotics
Background
Demand for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) is rapidly increasing, particularly in warehouses, automated factories, and retail settings. These robots are transforming operations by optimizing efficiency and productivity. To ensure smooth collaboration, clear and effective communication between AMRs and human operators is essential, with displays playing a pivotal role in bridging this gap.
Project Requirements
Displays for collaborative robots (cobots) must meet several key requirements to ensure safe and effective operation. Here are some general specifications:
- Resolution and Size: The display should feature high resolution and an appropriate size to clearly present detailed information and controls.
- Touchscreen Capability: Touchscreen functionality is essential for intuitive and user-friendly interaction with cobots.
- Durability: The display must be rugged enough to endure industrial conditions, offering resistance to dust, moisture, and impacts.
System Description
Advantech offers a 12.1" display solution with a 1280x800 high-resolution wide aspect ratio, making it ideal for control panel operations. The IDK-1112P features a projective capacitive touch system with fine-tuned touch firmware, ensuring quick response times and seamless use even with thick gloves.
The compact display kit is designed with an LVDS interface for direct and flexible connection to the computing board. It also features a 400-nit backlight brightness and a 50,000-hour backlight lifespan, delivering excellent visibility in indoor environments.
Conclusion
Selecting the right display for cobots involves a careful balance of technical specifications, user interface design, and environmental durability.
The specifications of the IDK-1112P ensure that the display is not only functional but also enhances the safety and efficiency of cobot systems. Advantech provides reliable display solutions with longevity support that eases the worry of discontinued supply during product development.
