Touch International Custom Touchscreen, Display Enhancement and Touch-Enabled Device OEM

Touch International (TI) designs and manufacturers cutting-edge touch display and touch-enabled devices for high-reliability markets such as medical, military, aerospace, heavy-duty transportation, retail, digital signage and various industrial markets.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, US, TI carries IS09001, ISO13485 and AS9100 certifications with class 10,000 cleanrooms and operates four vertically integrated facilities worldwide.

Touchscreen technology

TI specialises in design and manufacturing of the latest in PCAP multi-touch technology from 0.5in to 70in. TI can work with low minimum order quantities (MOQs) and has a library of reference designs paired with industrial-grade displays to leverage development speed and reduce engineering fees.

TI also offers resistive technology for legacy applications and has various sizes and configurations of standard designs for reference.

Enhanced touch display technology

Touch enhancements include EMI, privacy, colour and IR filters, polarizers, custom communication cables, embedded controller options and custom cover glass. Cover glass customisation includes custom thickness, ranging from thin and light to heavy-duty and ruggedised, custom shapes, sizes, curves, cut-outs for buttons, cameras and controls, graphics such as colours, indicators, logos, indicators or other branding. Surface treatments and coatings include anti-fingerprint, anti-glare, anti-reflective and anti-microbial.

Display enhancements include high-brightness, sunlight-readability, night-vision (NVIS), dual-mode (NVIS+SR), extended-temperature operation, transparent heaters, EMI shields, as well as gasket and optical bonding. We also offer in-house engineering and strategic display partnerships.

Industrial computing and video processing technology

Various industrial computing options can be included as part of a complete package. TI has reference designs across multiple form factors to accelerate development and reduce cost. TI can design and integrate single-board computers, compact PCs, OPS media players and custom RPi. Operating system options include Windows, Windows Embedded / Internet of Things (IoT), Linux and Android.

Peripheral integration and connectivity complete the computing package. Options include cameras, controls, card readers, NFC/RFID, PoE accessories, repeaters and a variety of sensors such as fingerprint, motion, heat, mechanical, electrical, along with IoT applications.

TI also designs and manufactures custom video boards and has reference designs for customer integration with any resolution (custom / FHD / 4K) and input / output (HDMI / VGA / RS232 / PoE).

Custom housings and complete assemblies

Final assembly design and integration combine all our engineering and supply chain resources to deliver complete, plug-and-play touch-enabled products. TI in-house metal and plastics capabilities include milling, laser sheet cut / bend / weld, large format thermoforming and hydrographics. Examples of finished products include kiosk housings, stands or mounts, chemical and weather-resistant touch PCs, custom hardware adapters for adaptation, integration or retrofit. Custom paint, graphics and powder coats can be applied to almost any final assembly to meet stringent specs or customer requirements.

The OFX Series Multi-Touch monitors are complete turnkey touch display packages that can be customised as required for a specific application, eliminating the need for development from scratch. They are available from 7in to 55in and include medical-compliant and IEC60601-certified configurations.

Custom touchscreen designs

All of TI’s in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities reduce customer development time and cost, simplify the supply chain and offer optimal products, changing the way companies can approach touch-enabled product design.

TI can work with everything from a 3D model to a napkin sketch and a vision.
