Case Study 2

A leading global consumer electronics manufacturer needed to replace their older resistive 5” Touchscreen used in security and access control systems. They supplied Eight Development with protocol specifications and a sample device, enabling us to engineer a new slimline 5” HD capacitive Touchscreen fully compatible with their proprietary controller interface. 

Due to the success of the Touchscreen in the ANZ markets, Customer invited Eight to provide a quote for the development, engineering and manufacture of their Touchscreen. The brief was to build a capacitive Touchscreen that operates exactly the same as their current resistive Touchscreen.  Eight proposed a full design, development, and manufacturing programme to deliver a capacitive Touchscreen with identical functional behaviour to their legacy resistive unit—ensuring a smooth firmware transition. 

We delivered a fully UL-compliant Touchscreen at one-fifth of the Customer’s original cost estimate, and within 12 months instead of the projected 24.  

All performance, reliability, and compliance requirements were met, including strict quality processes. 

The device entered full-scale production and has since been deployed globally, with thousands of units supplied. The product continues to be manufactured as part of their active product line.
