STW Technic, a provider of electronics and software for automation, digitalization, and electrification of mobile machines, recently unveiled their flagship display model for mobile machines – the inSIGHT Display. First introduced at ConExpo/IFPE 2023, the inSIGHT Display is an incredibly durable and lightweight display designed for virtually any mobile machine application.
The primary focus of the inSIGHT Display’s design is its adaptability to any environment. By collaborating with partners, STW Technic developed a display suitable for both in-cab and exterior use on machines, ensuring optimal visibility even in harsh sunlight. All inSIGHT Display models come standard with a 1000 nits backlight specification.
With a 170° viewing angle standard on all inSIGHT Displays, operators can easily access critical information regardless of the display’s mounting location. Coupled with the high brightness level, this guarantees that custom display applications remain visible at all times.
The inSIGHT Display lineup aims to maintain as many flagship features as possible across all models. Brightness, a super-wide viewing angle, and high contrast are standardized for the entire range. The inSIGHT Display is available in three different models and various sizes to accommodate the unique needs of mobile machine manufacturers and OEMs.
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | Contrast Ratio | Viewing Angle | Additional Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| inSIGHT S4 | 4.3 inch | 480 x 272 pixels | 800:1 | 170° | 8 RGB illuminated touchkey buttons |
| inSIGHT S7 | 7 inch touchscreen | 1024 x 600 pixels | 800:1 | 170° | 10 RGB illuminated touchkey buttons |
| inSIGHT S12 | 12.3 inch touchscreen | 1920 x 720 pixels | 1100:1 | 170° | 4 RGB illuminated touchkey buttons, 1 Encoder (rotary push-button) |
The inSIGHT S7 and S12 models also feature a modular rear housing, enabling future development of additional display sizes on the same platform.
In-depth experiences are available through starter kits for each model, including the display variant of choice, a plexiglass mounting panel for desktop display, and a RAM mounting arm set sized for the chosen display.
