In certain specialized application environments, users often need to operate equipment while wearing thick gloves, posing significant challenges for traditional projected capacitive touchscreens. The thickness and material of gloves can block or weaken the capacitive coupling between fingers and the screen, causing touch signal attenuation. This results in sluggish responses, positioning errors, or even complete failure to recognize touch input. Particularly in industrial manufacturing, outdoor operations, and medical settings, where operators frequently interact with touchscreens, glove-induced malfunctions directly impact work efficiency and system reliability.
Additionally, humid or damp environments threaten touchscreen accuracy. Water droplets, condensation, or moisture on the screen surface alter the electric field distribution, interfering with the capacitive sensor's normal sensing. This causes false touches, response delays, or command loss. Such issues are common in outdoor equipment, food processing workshops, medical sterilization environments, and outdoor terminals during rainy or snowy weather.
To address these challenges, WIWO has developed professional touch solutions featuring highly adaptive touch technology. By enhancing capacitive sensor sensitivity and integrating deeply optimized firmware algorithms, WIWO touchscreens accurately capture user input even through thick glove materials. Whether used with industrial-grade insulated gloves, cut-resistant gloves, or medical latex gloves, WIWO screens deliver precise and rapid responses, ensuring efficient operation in demanding environments.
Simultaneously, WIWO has achieved a key breakthrough in waterproof and moisture-resistant design. The screen surface features a high-performance hydrophobic coating that rapidly sheds water droplets, preventing liquid accumulation. Combined with firmware-level intelligent humidity suppression algorithms, it effectively distinguishes between moisture interference and genuine touch input. This ensures stable, reliable touch performance in rain, high-humidity workshops, or medical equipment requiring frequent cleaning and disinfection, avoiding false touches or response failures.
Applications requiring touchscreen-compatible gloves span diverse fields, including but not limited to:
Industrial Manufacturing & Automation: Workers frequently wear thick gloves during machinery control and production line operations, necessitating precise touchscreen responsiveness.
Outdoor Construction & Engineering: Construction sites often face rain, dust, and other disruptions, demanding touchscreens that are both moisture-resistant and glove-compatible.
Medical and Laboratory Environments: Healthcare professionals perform procedures while wearing gloves, and equipment requires frequent disinfection. Touchscreens must support both glove mode and liquid interference resistance;
Cold Chain Logistics and Food Processing: In cold, humid conditions, operators wear heavy protective gloves. Touchscreens must maintain high sensitivity and resist condensation;
Public Safety & Emergency Terminals: Outdoor kiosks and emergency dispatch equipment must remain functional across diverse weather conditions and user attire.
WIWO's touchscreen technology demonstrates its professional value and technical advantages precisely in these demanding applications requiring uncompromising reliability, adaptability, and precision.
