HMI - Food Processing Control Panels
In the food processing industry, food safety is the highest priority. Canvys custom monitors for control panels meet or exceed the latest hygiene regulations while creating machine systems of superior quality, modern design, and ease of operation. The modern human-machine interface (HMI) design with smooth rounded edges and edgeless surfaces enables thorough cleaning and disinfecting. The stainless steel or milled die-cast housing is one of the hygienic design product features required by the food processing industry.
PCAP touch monitor units are ideal for the HMI, allowing for safe, easy use when wearing thick gloves. The TrueFlat design and bonded glass that follows food regulations achieve an increased level of protection up to IP69K. This protection class also allows professional cleaning of the entire machine with industrial, high-pressure hot water cleaners.
Canvys develops specialized touch controller firmware solutions for food-processing machines to prevent unwanted touch events, possibly caused by water drops or surface contaminations on the HMI. This solution increases the safety of the machine system control against unwanted triggering events during operation of the system.
Canvys offers many features for customization the final display solution including thicker protection glass, border color to match the customer's product, antiglare (AG), anti-reflective (AR), and anti-smudge (AS) screens. Specific to Antiglare, the AG coating not only minimizes fingerprints and possible reflections in bright ambient light but also improves the haptics of the cover glass during wiping movements for touch control and glove operation.
For decades, Canvys has used industrial components that are available long-term. This approach provides an extremely long-life display solution up to 10 years. Displays remain unchanged in form, fit, and function, protecting customer investments in development and certifications.
