The Key Role of Industrial Monitors in the Marine Engineering Industry

In the marine engineering industry, industrial monitors play a crucial role, especially in ship navigation, monitoring, and control systems. The ship's wheelhouse is the "brain" of the vessel, and monitors are one of its core components. They are used to show critical data such as radar information, electronic charts, engine status, and cabin monitoring footage, ensuring safe navigation and efficient operation. In complex marine environments, the reliability, clarity, and adaptability of monitors directly impact the ship's operational efficiency and safety.

Challenges

The customer, based in France, frequently operates ships at sea. Since the ship's wheelhouse is often exposed to strong sunlight, standard industrial monitors can suffer from glare and reflection issues, making it difficult for the customer to read the screen clearly.

Additionally, the intensity of ambient light varies greatly depending on the time and weather conditions. Therefore, the monitor needs to have adjustable brightness to adapt to different lighting conditions. Considering the convenience of ship operations, the customer required a quick and easy way to adjust the monitor brightness, leading to the choice of a custom physical knob for brightness control.

Key Customer Requirements:

High Brightness: The monitor must reach 1000 nits to ensure clear visibility in strong light conditions.

Adjustable Brightness: The monitor must have brightness adjustment functionality, preferably via a physical knob for easy operation by the crew.

Anti-Glare Screen: To prevent glare and reflection issues in strong light, the monitor must be equipped with an anti-glare screen.

PM-H215WKC High-Brightness Anti-Glare monitor: Ideal for Wheelhouses

The PM-H215WKC is a 21.5" industrial monitor with a 50,000-hour backlight lifespan. It features an FHD LCD panel and a 10-point PCAP capacitive touchscreen. With an IP66 waterproof rating, it is resistant to water splashes. The PM-H215WKC high-brightness anti-glare monitor is an ideal choice for ship wheelhouses. Its high brightness (1000 nits) ensures that screen content remains clearly visible in strong light, while the custom anti-glare screen effectively reduces reflections and glare, enhancing the operator's visual comfort and work efficiency. Moreover, the adjustable brightness feature allows the monitor to adapt to various lighting conditions, ensuring optimal performance in any environment.
