American Industrial Systems (AIS), the first company to incorporate projected capacitive touch (PCT or PCAP) technology into their product offering, is pleased to announce the availability of its new family of industrial widescreen, multi-touch interactive HMI monitors and displays with Windows 7 operating system built-in. This new family of Industrial Flat Widescreen HMIs from AIS are fully-integrated, easy-to-use, plug-and-play, multi-touch monitors that are ideal for a myriad of industrial, processing and factory automation applications.

Thanks to the Projected Capacitive Sensor behind the AIS industrial flat panel widescreen, its independent and simultaneous dual touch capability provides a gesture-based HMI interface that allows interactions such as pan zoom and rotate. These popular user interactions commonly found in everyday consumer devices such as smart phones and tablets, make control and monitoring simple and more intuitive for users operating industrial HMIs.
