E.D.&A. has developed a capacitive touch panel for chicken grills (January 2011)

A reputable manufacturer with worldwide distribution of grills and ovens, has placed an order to develop a completely new controller platform at E.D.&A.. This new controller design will initially be used in a chicken grill, by which the user interface is built around a graphical Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) . For other product lines this design can be equipped with a 5,7” TFT display.

Hardware and software
The design has a modern industrial ARM7 microprocessor on which a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) is running. E.D.&A. is responsible for the complete hardware and software development. The controller has a USB host port that allows one to easily read or modify new recipes, software, HACCP- and logging-parameters. Any technician all over the world can update or read the controller software (firmware) without the need of any additional tool.

Operation behind glass
For the food industry, cleanliness and easy maintenance of a device is very important. Our client has also opted for an operation panel behind a glass plate. E.D.&A. has developed a capacitive touch panel. This controller will be mounted directly behind the glass plate and is also equipped with blue LEDs that light up when a certain button can be used. That results in a very intuitive and user friendly operation of the device

This new development is in prototype phase and will be ready for production in 2011.
