Thermal Solution
A successful thermal design can improve the system's reliability and prevent early-stage failures when the products go into the field. Winmate provides thermal analysis and solution design for our products. From thermal analysis to product design, our engineers can assist each step of your product development.
Wide Input Voltage
The supply of voltage in different application scenes varies or appears unstable due to a headache of no suitable power to fit the appliances sometimes. Incorrect voltage and current may also damage the electric components. Our range of power input solutions is designed accordingly to solve the problem and protect the products by converting different voltage inputs to meet the required requirements. We provide several DC to DC converter power modules that fulfill the full range of LCD and embedded system demands.
Touch Screen
A touch screen is an input device that is layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or more fingers. The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens).
Screen Usability
Usability in bright environments is one of the critical characteristics of the display intended to use in industrial environment. Many industrial LCD are designed to be installed outdoors or in the facilities with bright lit. When choosing the best solution for your application it is important first to dig into each possibility, and then decide which one is the most suitable for your particular application. When choosing LCD solution for your application it is important to consider the operating environment first. Based on the usage scenario you can figure out which technology better suits your application. Winmate Inc. provides sunlight readable display solutions for industrial operating in some of the most challenging environments, including Defence and marine, oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare, and also offers professional product customization service and project management to bring your unique ideas to life.
Defence EMI and Mesh Coating
Electronic equipment emits a certain degree of electromagnetic radiation. EMI shielding countermeasures are often used to suppress the emission of these electromagnetic noises to the outside of the electronic equipment. Different shielding materials have different shielding effects on the noise of different frequencies. The following figure describes the shielding effect of several common materials.
Explosion-Proof
It is required by law and legislation by countries around the world that electrical equipment must be designed and manufactured for safe use in environments or atmospheres that may be potentially flammable or explosive. These hazardous areas are defined as where flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers or flying are present. At oil and gas production operations and facilities, these hazards and dangers are commonplace. Flammable or explosive substances may be present in some varying quantity at all times, so fire and explosion protection and safety certifications for all electrical equipment used in these operations are mandatory. Winmate has technology know-how for the production and development of explosion-proof devices.
Optical Bonding
Optical bonding is a process that attaches the touch panel directly to the LCD, filling a small air gap between the front of the display and the back of the touch panel.
EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the branch of electrical engineering concerned with the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage in operational equipment.
Rugged Design
A rugged device is a computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as strong vibrations, extreme temperatures, and wet or dusty conditions. They are designed from inception for the type of rough use typified by these conditions, not just in the external housing but in the internal components and cooling arrangements as well. Typical environments for rugged laptops, tablet PCs, and PDAs are public safety, field service, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, transportation, warehouse and logistics, and the Defence.
Power Isolation
Voltage, current, temperature, pressure, strain, and flow measurements are an integral part of industrial and process control applications. Often these applications involve environments with hazardous voltages, transient signals, common-mode voltages, and fluctuating ground potentials capable of damaging measurement systems and ruining measurement accuracy. To overcome these challenges, measurement systems designed for industrial applications make use of electrical isolation.
Hyper Dimming
Under some specific user conditions, it will require that the monitor can be adjusted to a lower brightness level than normal. The “Hyper Dimming” technology provides a wider brightness adjustment level combined with an excellent appearance to meet the dim-to-black requirement.
Sunlight Readable
Transflective LCD technology can be applied to certain selected regular TFT LCD to introduce the LCD with a reflective function. With the imposed reflective function, the modified LCD can reflect the ambient light passing the LCD cell and utilize the reflected light beams as its illumination.
Fanless Design
We use well-defined thermal analysis procedures to verify our LCD displays and Panel PC systems to meet the harsh environment applications. Especially in fanless cooling design, we develop a heat-sink or heat-pipe solution to conduct the heat and the airflow for the best thermal solution.

Mechanical Design
We provide four basic types of mechanical design, including panel mount, IP65 front bezel, open frame, and chassis to fulfill all kinds of industrial applications.
Touch Technologies
When the screen is touched, the conductive coating makes electrical contact with the coating on the glass. The voltages produced are the analog representation of the position touched. The controller digitizes these voltages and transmits them to the computer for processing.
Embedded SBC Design
The digital video signals can send through a DVI cable to a high-resolution LCD monitor that can accept DVI input. The standard Digital Visual Interface can support either LVDS or TTL Panel through an LCD controller board. Winmate provides several selections for the variance size of LCD monitors that can support DVI signals.
