Kiosk Machines
The Canvys team designed a street kiosk that would display transportation information. The custom monitor solution had to be viewable in direct sunlight and dim automatically for low light output /evening usage. Canvys designed a 2000cd/m² LCD into the kiosk with an Automatic Light Sensing system (ALS) to ensure the correct light output for optimal viewing.
The touch sensor had to operate in all weather conditions and be vandal resistant. Canvys selected unique components to suit the environment's heat and humidity factors, and our team applied conformal coating on the boards/components. Canvys also used laminated layers of damage and scratch-resistant glass, and designed the solution needed to be easily replaceable in case of vandalism.
In another kiosk display solution, the customer faced extreme weather-resistant requirements and risk of vandalism. Canvys engineered a 16mm thick, laminated custom touch sensor, which underwent an extensive steel ball drop test. The overall design met the customer’s rigorous impact requirements while enabling touch operation during inclement weather conditions. In addition, Canvys selected UV coatings to combat glare during direct sunlight.
Canvys has also supplied smaller-sized monitors for these environments that adhere to the TFL directives for use with prosthetics hands.
