3M Touch Systems today announced that its rugged capacitive touchscreen technology will be incorporated into POWER Products Hawk Healthcare first-aid kiosk.
According to a news release, the kiosk offers emergency assistance to the public in indoor and outdoor environments and features a built-in mobile phone and removable defibrillator. The integrated touchscreen provides a continuous on-screen presentation of instructions for using the equipment.
Tomas Pav, POWER Products' sales and technical director, cited the company's longstanding relationship with 3M as one of the reasons 3M's technology was chosen for the project:
 | We chose 3M's most rugged touchsystem as it's ideal for unsupervised self-service kiosks that demand high levels of surface wear, impact strength and shatter resistance. We have a long established cooperation with 3M, having been a distributor for 12 years. As well as innovative technology, high-quality support and brand strength were the main reasons for selecting the company as (the) touchscreen provider for our unique emergency kiosk application. |  |
