Company & Expertise
DMB Technics develops customized display and HMI-Solutions for professional and industrial applications. Our capabilities range from the selection and customization of suitable display technologies to add-ons, hardware, embedded systems and software, as well as design & engineering, series production and lifecycle management.
DMB Technics develops customized display- and HMI-Solutions for home appliances, medical, measurement, building services, transport & special vehicles, e-mobility, automotive and industry & trade sectors. Each solution is tailored to the specific technical, functional and industry requirements of the respective application.
DMB Technics offers more than individual displays or components. As a development and solution partner, we combine display technologies, add-ons, electronics, embedded systems, software and engineering to create customized solutions. We support our customers from the initial requirements through series production and throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Display Technologies
DMB Technics offers TFT, AMOLED, E-Paper, LED, LCD, PMOLED, Micro LED and FALD displays. Each technology is suited to different requirements in terms of resolution, brightness, contrast, power consumption, form factor, lifetime and operating environment.
The right display technology depends on the specific application. Key criteria include display size, resolution, brightness, contrast, viewing angle, power consumption, operating temperature, lifetime, interfaces and installation situation. DMB Technics supports customers in evaluating and selecting the most suitable solution from both a technical and commercial perspective.
TFT displays are highly versatile and available in a wide range of sizes and resolutions. AMOLED offers high contrast, intense colours and fast response times. PMOLED is particularly suitable for smaller displays with limited information content. E-Paper is characterized by very low power consumption when displaying predominantly static content.
For outdoor applications, high brightness, good sunlight readability, a suitable operating temperature range and robust integration are particularly important. Depending on the application, high-brightness displays, optical bonding and special surface treatments can further improve readability and durability.
Yes, and this is our core competence. Depending on the display technology and project requirements, components such as backlight, touch panel, cover lens, FPC, interfaces, sensors, cables, electronics and mechanical integration can be adapted. The goal is to create a display solution that integrates seamlessly into the specific application.
HMI-Solutions
HMI stands for Human Machine Interface and refers to the interface between human and machine. An HMI-Solution combines the display, operation and control of a device or system. Depending on the application, display, touch, embedded system, microcontroller, hardware, software, interfaces and other components can be integrated.
A display primarily serves the visual presentation of information. An HMI-Solution, by contrast, covers the entire interaction between the user and the device. In addition to the display, touch, embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware, software, interfaces, sensors and mechanical components can be integrated, for example.
Yes. DMB Technics develops customized HMI-Solutions and combines display, touch solutions, embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware, software, interface conversion, connectors, peripheral components and CAD into a complete, integrated solution.
Services & Project Process
DMB Technics provides services throughout the entire lifecycle of a display or HMI-Solution. These include matchmaking between customer requirements and manufacturers, feasibility assessments and concept studies, design and engineering, product optimization, qualification and validation, prototyping, supplier evaluation, second-source solutions, supply chain management, logistics as well as after-sales service and lifecycle management.
A project starts with an analysis of the customer’s requirements. Depending on the project, this is followed by a feasibility assessment, technology selection, concept development, design and engineering, prototyping, qualification and validation. Once the solution has been approved, the project moves into industrialization and series production, followed by after-sales service and lifecycle management.
Yes. Prototypes and samples enable the technical and functional validation of a display or HMI-Solution before series production. This allows aspects such as display performance, touch functionality, electronics, software, interfaces and mechanical integration to be tested and optimized.
DMB Technics considers long-term availability from the outset when selecting technologies, components and suppliers. Lifecycle management, obsolescence management, supplier management and second-source solutions help to secure the supply of long-term series products.
A second-source solution is an alternative source of supply or technical alternative to an existing component or solution. It reduces dependency on individual manufacturers and helps minimize supply risks for long-term series production. DMB Technics supports customers in evaluating, qualifying and integrating suitable alternatives.
Technical Requirements & Project Start
EMC stands for electromagnetic compatibility. It describes the ability of an electronic system to operate reliably in its electromagnetic environment without unacceptable interference to other devices. For display and HMI systems, both electromagnetic emissions and immunity must be considered.
The relevant standards and certifications depend on the application, industry and target market. Depending on the project, requirements relating to EMC, product safety, materials or environmental conditions may apply. DMB Technics considers the specific requirements of each project when developing the solution and selecting suitable components.
Costs and minimum order quantities depend on the display technology, level of customization, scope of development, tooling costs, components and planned production volumes. Standard products, customized displays and fully customized HMI-Solutions have different preferences. For this reason, costs and minimum oder quantities are evaluated individually for each project.
