Designed, Engineered and Manufactured for Your Application


Every application has unique requirements. As a dedicated engineering partner, we design and deliver custom touchscreen systems and panel PCs that are purpose-built around those needs. From the initial concept, we work with you to define the ideal combination of display, touch technology and system design. The result is a solution that fits seamlessly into your environment, while maintaining consistency and long-term reliability.

What is a Custom Touchscreen or Panel PC?

A custom Panel PC is a fully integrated, display-based computing solution tailored to a specific application, rather than an off-the-shelf product, whereas a custom touchscreen provides the display and user interface without built-in computing capability.

While standard touchscreen systems and Panel PCs can meet many applications, some projects demand a more tailored approach. Customisation allows the system to be optimised for its application, environment, and user. Typical areas of customisation include:

  • Screen size, resolution and aspect ratio.
  • Touchscreen technology, such as capacitive, resistive or glove compatibility.
  • Brightness and optical enhancements for indoor and outdoor visibility.
  • Mechanical design, mounting options and enclosure modifications.
  • I/O and connectivity tailored to peripheral devices.
  • OEM branding or white labelling.

By developing a custom touchscreen or panel PC, organisations can ensure the solution is fully aligned to both user experience and technical requirements from day one, delivering a reliable, purpose-built interface for their application.

When Do You Need a Custom Touchscreen or Panel PC?

A custom touchscreen or panel PC becomes essential when a standard display solution cannot fully support your application, whether that's user interaction, physical integration or environmental performance.

You may need a custom solution when:

  • The display size, format or mounting requirements don't suit the installation.
  • Specific touch functionality is required.
  • The screen must remain clearly visible in challenging conditions.
  • The unit needs to be sealed or ruggedised for exposure to dust, moisture or frequent cleaning.
  • The system must integrate seamlessly into a machine, kiosk or enclosure.
  • Consistent hardware availability is required across a long product lifecycle.
  • A branded or application-specific user interface or appearance is required.

In these circumstances, a custom-designed touchscreen or panel PC ensures the solution is built around the specific application, helping to simplify integration while delivering a reliable and consistent result.

 

How Do We Work on Custom Projects?

 


Understanding Your Requirements

Every successful touchscreen system or panel PC starts with a clear understanding of your application. At Impulse Embedded, we work closely with your engineering and procurement teams to define the right approach. Our specialists take the time to understand your performance requirements, environmental constraints, lifecycle expectations, and commercial targets. We can help you identify the optimal architecture from the outset, whether you’re developing a bespoke touchscreen interface, an integrated Panel PC solution, or something even more complex.

By combining deep technical knowledge with a consultative approach, we reduce risk, accelerate development, and ensure your solution is built on the right foundations.

Solving Complex Challenges

Design is where your concept becomes a defined, buildable solution. Our engineers specialise in custom touchscreen and panel PCs, selecting and adapting technologies to meet your exact requirements. Our team supports projects from component selection and system architecture to mechanical design, display integration and thermal optimisation, creating systems that are robust, scalable and ready for deployment in demanding environments.

We develop fully bespoke solutions and modify standard platforms to meet specific application requirements, with a consistent focus on reliability, longevity and proven performance in the field.

Bringing Ideas to Life

Integration is where everything comes together. We combine hardware, software, and services to deliver a fully validated ready for deployment.

Our integration capabilities include system assembly, OS imaging, soak testing, and long-term supply management, ensuring consistency from prototype through to volume production. By managing the full lifecycle, we help reduce complexity and maintain continuity across your product’s lifespan.

Because of our strong network of technology partners and in-house expertise, we ensure your solution is not only delivered, but fully supported as your application evolves.

OUR INDUSTRY INSIGHT

Each application presents unique technical and environmental challenges. Our custom industrial systems are engineered to meet these specific demands, ensuring reliability, performance and long-term stability in real-world conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom Touchscreen HMI & Panel PC FAQs

A custom solution is often the right choice when a standard unit cannot meet the full requirements of the application. This may include specific display sizes, touchscreen behaviour, mounting constraints, environmental sealing, branding requirements, interface needs or long-term lifecycle considerations.
Projected capacitive and resistive touch technologies are both available, depending on the application and operating conditions. Projected capacitive touch is well suited to modern multi-touch interfaces and durable front-panel designs, while resistive touch can be a practical option where glove use or certain industrial conditions need to be considered.
Yes. Front panels and enclosures can be designed to achieve the appropriate IP rating for the intended environment, helping protect against dust, moisture and contaminants in industrial or hygienic applications.
Systems can be developed for panel mount, VESA mount, open-frame integration or fully enclosed use, depending on how they need to be installed. This allows the design to fit machinery, kiosks, control cabinets and operator consoles more effectively.
Yes. Custom touchscreen panel PCs can be designed to integrate with existing machinery and control systems, with the required processing capability, I/O and mounting format selected to suit the application and the surrounding infrastructure.
