Add-Ons

More function. More integration. More options. 

Every application has unique requirements when it comes to functionality, design and reliability. That’s why a successful display solution does not end with the display itself. Only the right add-ons ensure seamless interaction between all components, resulting in a powerful, durable and fully integrated HMI-Solution.

DMB Technics develops and integrates customized add-ons that are precisely matched to your application and your technical requirements. From cover lenses and touch panels to backlights, flexible printed circuits (FPC), cables and sensors, through to housing, mechanics and power management, the result is a perfectly coordinated overall system.

During the development stage, we take all relevant factors into account, such as installation space, interfaces, EMC requirements, environmental conditions, user experience, energy efficiency and assembly. This ensures the seamless integration of all components, reduces development risks and guarantees reliability throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Thanks to our many years of experience in developing customized display and HMI-Solutions, we support you from the initial idea through to series production. Development is carried out by our experts in Switzerland, while manufacturing is realized together with our qualified production partners in Asia.

The result is an intelligent, fully integrated solution where every component is perfectly aligned to deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and long-term value.

The interface between human and technology

The cover lens is far more than a simple protective layer. It forms the visible surface of the HMI system and has a significant impact on usability as well as on the design and the overall durability of the solution. Depending on the application, it provides protection against scratches, chemicals, UV radiation or mechanical stress, while at the same time providing a high-quality appearance.

With custom designed glass or plastic solutions, the cover lens can be precisely tailored to the product design. Printing, cut-outs, sensor windows or illuminated symbols can be integrated directly into the lens. Combined with optical bonding, it also enhances contrast, reduces reflections and improves readability even in direct sunlight.
