Case study - Manufacturer Improved Device Reliability with Our TFT LCDs
Table of Contents
At Menco, we believe that the true measure of a display isn't just its brightness or clarity, but its unwavering reliability in the field. For manufacturers of mission-critical devices, a display failure can mean costly downtime, extensive repairs, and damage to brand reputation. This challenge was precisely what a leading industrial equipment manufacturer, let's call them InnovateTech Solutions (for privacy reason), faced before partnering with Menco for their display needs.
The Challenge: Addressing Device Downtime and Performance Issues
InnovateTech Solutions specializes in producing rugged industrial control panels. Their devices operate in demanding environments, from factory floors with extreme temperatures and vibrations, requiring consistent, flawless operation.
The core problem was clear: their existing display units, sourced from a different supplier, were proving to be a weak link. Frequent display failures were leading to:
- Increased Warranty Claims: A higher than acceptable rate of returns and customer complaints.
-
High Maintenance Costs: Field technicians were spending excessive time on display-related repairs.
-
Reputational Damage: Device downtime directly impacted their clients' operations, eroding trust.
- Limited Operational Window: The displays struggled under extreme temperature fluctuations and constant use, hindering device longevity.
End customers complained about screen refresh slowness in cold weather; glow-marks or other display defects in hot temperature.
InnovateTech Solutions needed a display solution that could withstand harsh conditions, offer exceptional longevity, and provide consistent, reliable performance to match the robust engineering of their devices.
Why InnovateTech Solutions Chose Menco TFT LCDs
