For harsh environments, we recommend IP68-rated industrial touchscreens with high-brightness displays (1000+ nits) that remain readable in direct sunlight or bright factory lighting. These rugged displays feature chemical-resistant glass, wide temperature operating ranges (-20°C to +60°C), and sealed construction that protects against dust, moisture, and washdown conditions. Our FCC Certified displays also meet stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements for reliable operation near heavy electrical equipment.
