Empowering Industrial Automation with
Robust & Reliable
Display and Computing Solutions
LMTEK delivers integrated, industrial-grade solutions that thrive in demanding environments, ensuring your automation systems are powerful, resilient, and future-proof.
The Challenge of the Modern Factory
The relentless march towards Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing demands unprecedented levels of connectivity, intelligence, and reliability on the factory floor.
While the goal is to boost efficiency, deploying technology in harsh industrial environments is a major hurdle. Standard displays are unreadable, touch screens fail with gloves or moisture, and computing hardware buckles under extreme temperatures and vibration.
Critical Consequences:
- • System failures and costly downtime
- • Compromised safety protocols
- • Reduced operational efficiency
Harsh Industrial Conditions
LMTEK's Solution
LMTEK delivers integrated, industrial-grade TFT displays, touch screens, HMIs, and Single Board Computers (SBCs) engineered from the ground up to not just survive, but thrive in these demanding conditions.
Our Integrated Solutions for Industrial Automation
Here's how LMTEK's product ecosystem solves key challenges across different industrial automation scenarios.
Application Scenario 1: Factory Floor HMI Control Panels
The Challenge
Control panels on machinery and production lines must be flawlessly reliable, easy to use for gloved operators, and clearly visible under shifting industrial lighting. They need to withstand constant vibration, dust, and potential water splashes.
The LMTEK Solution
We offer two powerful pathways to create the perfect HMI. Choose the approach that best fits your project timeline and customization needs.
Build Your Custom HMI
For ultimate design freedom, combine our industrial-grade TFT Displays (2.0"-15.6") with high-sensitivity PCAP Touch Screens. Featuring optical bonding for sunlight readability and glove/wet-finger support.
Deploy a Turnkey HMI
For maximum speed-to-market, choose our all-in-one HMI solutions (7.0"-15.6"). These pre-integrated, pre-certified units combine display, touch, and computing into a single rugged, IP65-rated housing.
| Feature | Option A: Custom Build | Option B: All-in-One HMI |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Unique form factors, deep customization | Fast time-to-market, standard applications |
| Key Components | Display + Touch + SBC Modules | Pre-Integrated HMI Unit |
| Development Effort | Higher (but with full control) | Minimal (plug-and-play) |
| Flexibility | Maximum | High |
Application Scenario 2: IIoT Gateways & Edge Data Processing
The Challenge
Connecting legacy machinery to the Industrial IoT (IIoT) is critical for predictive maintenance and real-time analytics. This requires a robust solution that can translate multiple industrial protocols, process data locally at the edge to reduce latency, and securely transmit insights to the cloud.
The LMTEK Solution
Our portfolio is engineered to bridge the gap between your operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
Integrated Gateway & Visualization
Our HMI with built-in IoT Gateway functionality provides a brilliant local interface and acts as a powerful data bridge, communicating with PLCs via Modbus/EtherNet/IP and pushing data securely to AWS or Azure via MQTT.
High-Performance Edge AI
When your application demands more—like machine vision for quality control or AI-driven predictive analytics—our high-performance Rockchip-based SBCs process massive data streams in real-time directly on the factory floor.
Application Scenario 3: Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) & Mobile Robotics
The Challenge
Mobile systems like AGVs, forklifts, and handheld diagnostic tools operate in demanding, dynamic environments. They require compact, low-power, and extremely durable displays and computers that can withstand constant shock and vibration while ensuring reliable wireless connectivity and real-time control.
The LMTEK Solution
We provide a complete, ruggedized electronics backbone for your mobile automation platforms.
The Brains & Brawn
Our STM32 and NXP-based SBCs form the core of your mobile system. They offer an ideal balance of low power consumption for extended battery life and the robust processing power needed for navigation and task execution. Crucially, they provide essential I/O like CAN bus for vehicle control and integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth for seamless communication.
The Intuitive Interface
Pair the SBC with our compact, high-shock resistance TFTs (e.g., 4.3", 7.0") and rugged, impact-resistant touch screens. We can deliver these as a fully pre-tested, vibration-resistant assembly, ensuring the HMI component is as tough as the vehicle it's mounted on. This integrated approach guarantees reliability from the processor all the way to the operator's fingertips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical lead time for a custom HMI prototype?
Typically, a prototype for a custom assembly can be delivered within 4-6 weeks after the design is finalized, depending on component availability and complexity.
How does optical bonding improve display performance?
Optical bonding eliminates the air gap between the display and touch panel. This reduces internal reflections, dramatically increasing contrast and sunlight readability. It also adds physical strength and prevents condensation.
Do you provide software support like drivers and Board Support Packages (BSPs)?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive software support, including drivers, BSPs for Linux and Android, and sample code to accelerate your development process.
