In
our modern and ever changing world, touch technology
has rapidly gained acceptance and can be found all around
us in an increasingly diverse range of situations and environments.
As the most versatile and intuitive form of interface between
human and machine, touch technology can be found anywhere
that users need to interact with electronic equipment.
One of the most common and typical
pieces of equipment that uses touch technology and is encountered
by most people on a daily basis is the kiosk. In retail, self
service, information, public access, "top-ups",
parking systems, transport systems, gaming, and even more
diverse environments - touch technology is the leading interface
between people and the equipment that we use to deliver a
wide range of services and solutions.
Elo TouchSystems has the widest
portfolio of touch technologies currently available.
Each technology is optimized for different
operating characteristics and environments to suit your application
requirements. So it is easier for you to adopt the correct
touch technology to meet your needs.
Some technologies are more
suited to integration into a particular host device or environment.
Matching the technology with the criteria
that define your needs is key to delivering the best touch
solution. Such criteria may consist of economic/cost, operator/staff
activated applications, public access applications, image
quality, risk of damage, rugged environments, etc.
It is not simply a case that one technology
may be slightly better than another for a particular solution.
In a variety of circumstances some technolgies are not suitable
at all.
It is very
important that you select the correct technology for your
application - not just the cheapest, or whatever is most common,
easy to acquire, etc.
