Why Touch Screens Are More Indispensable for Automation Applications

This article focuses on introducing Everglory’s dedicated touch display solutions for automation scenarios. Readers can fully understand why touch displays are the optimal choice for automated equipment instead of resistive touch screens or infrared touch screens. Besides, the article details the core parameters and critical factors that must be taken into account during product selection.

This integrated solution is specially developed by Everglory for security and access control scenarios such as smart buildings, industrial parks, communities and office towers, combining face recognition, touch interaction, elevator control and access control linkage into one embedded smart display terminal.

It integrates high-definition binocular face recognition cameras, liveness detection algorithms, high-definition touch display, elevator control signal output and access permission docking all in a single interactive unit. There is no need to install separate face recognition gate devices, external access card readers or additional backend transfer equipment.

The device features a front flat full-glass embedded design without protruding cameras or scattered openings. The whole unit can be seamlessly mounted on walls and elevator car interiors with a sleek, minimalist look that matches high-end building decoration standards.

Powered by high-performance computing capability, the terminal completes face capture, comparison and verification within seconds. It can directly replace traditional split-type access control systems and old card-swiping elevator controllers to deliver intelligent upgrades with smooth, contactless access throughout the entire process.

Advantages of Touch Screens in Automation Applications

1.Meet the core demand for smooth and rapid contactless access. During morning and evening rush hours, buildings face heavy pedestrian flow. Traditional card swiping and button elevator calling are slow and likely to cause congestion. Face recognition enables instant door unlocking and automatic elevator calling with zero physical contact with the device, greatly boosting passage efficiency and perfectly suiting high-frequency usage in public areas.

2.Comprehensive upgrade of security level. Equipped with binocular liveness anti-counterfeiting detection, the terminal effectively prevents illegal access via photos, recorded videos, silicone masks and other spoofing means. It supports real-time storage and traceability of facial access records, as well as hierarchical personnel permission management. External visitors are restricted from accessing core floors, which strengthens the overall security management and control of buildings.

3.Fully compatible with high-end interior decoration requirements. Conventional split face recognition devices feature protruding cameras and messy exposed wiring that ruin the overall decorative style. This all-in-one full-glass embedded design conceals all internal wiring for a neat, uniform front panel. It preserves the aesthetic integrity of elevator cars and lobby walls, and meets the acceptance standards of smart construction sites, high-end industrial parks and office building projects.

4.Significantly cut comprehensive construction and maintenance costs. This all-in-one terminal eliminates the need for separate facial recognition units, extra power supplies, complicated cables and external mounting brackets. Its streamlined structure reduces wiring connectors, lowering subsequent faults such as poor contact, offline devices and recognition failures, and easing daily maintenance workload for property management teams.

5.Strong compatibility for both new construction and renovation projects. It can be directly connected to existing elevator control mainboards, access controllers and property management backend platforms without large-scale replacement of original systems, enabling fast intelligent renovation of old buildings.

Key Core Parameters When Selecting Touch Screens

1.Liveness recognition algorithm performance. The device must be equipped with binocular infrared liveness detection to deliver accurate identification under strong light, dim light, backlight and other complex lighting conditions. It prevents spoofing attacks using photos and videos to guarantee reliable security protection.

2.Anti-interference and wide-temperature operation performance. Elevator surroundings suffer severe electromagnetic interference, so the terminal comes with built-in power isolation and circuit protection. It supports 7×24-hour non-stop operation without black screen, automatic reboot or offline status under high and low temperature conditions.

3.Camera and display hardware configuration. Equipped with standard high-definition wide-angle binocular cameras and industrial high-brightness touch screens, it ensures clear face recognition and display effect under weak light in corridors at night and direct strong sunlight during daytime.

4.Dustproof and moisture-proof structural performance. Adopting fully sealed tempered glass on the front panel, the device resists moisture, dust and corrosion from hand sweat, perfectly fitting unattended public areas such as corridors and lobbies for long-term operation.

5.Peripheral linkage interface capability. Standardly equipped with dry contact terminals, Ethernet ports and serial ports, the terminal can be directly connected to various elevator controllers and access control main units without extra secondary development or signal transfer modules.

Common Pain Points During Installation & Application of Face Recognition Touch Terminals

1.Complex on-site lighting conditions. Backlight and direct strong sunlight will blur captured facial images and reduce face recognition pass rate.

2.Severe electromagnetic interference around elevators often causes intermittent offline status, laggy face recognition, occasional screen flickering and unexpected restarts of the device.

3.Non-standard installation height and angle lead to large pitching deviation of the face camera, resulting in inconsistent recognition experience between adults and children.

4.The old protocols of the original on-site access control and elevator control systems are incompatible. It may occur that the door fails to unlock and the elevator cannot be called automatically even after successful face verification.

5.Strong and weak electric wires are routed in the same conduit during construction without isolation protection, which interferes with the touch sensitivity of the device and the stability of facial data transmission.
