At Hope Industrial Systems we take pride in the fact that our Panel Mount Monitors are the easiest to install in the industry.
New Version of Our Thin Client/PC Enclosure
Based on feedback from our customers, we have released a new version of our Industrial Thin Client/Small PC Enclosure with an integrated power supply that outputs 24 volts in addition to the existing 5 volt output. This new power option allows the enclosure to be used with a wide variety of industrial PC’s and thin clients that were previously not supported. The existing model supporting 5/12 VDC is still available.
Virtual On-Screen Keyboards for use with Industrial Touch Screens
An on-screen keyboard (OSK), or “virtual keyboard,” allows the user to send keystrokes to the PC without the use of a physical keyboard. A mouse, touch screen, or other pointing device is used to “type” on the virtual keyboard on the monitor screen. On-screen keyboards are a great solution when an area rarely needs a keyboard or a physical keyboard is not accessible.

Update from OTC 2011 in Houston, TX
Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is wrapping up today and this has been a good show for us. The sheer size of this expo has to be seen to be believed. There are multiple buildings and even booths set up in the breezeways between buildings.
Figuring out what can we do better
Customer satisfaction has always been one of our top priorities at Hope Industrial Systems. We strive to provide excellent service and support because we know that strong customer relationships are just as important as manufacturing high quality products.
DisplayPort…the End of an Era, but Beginning of a New Age
In 1987, IBM introduced the VGA connector, which has become the universal standard for analog video connections to monitors and touch screens. In 1999, DVI was introduced and has likewise become the standard for digital video connections to monitors and touch screens, even though it was never fully adopted and almost all displays can still support analog VGA. But times are changing and by 2015 both VGA and DVI are planned to be replaced by DisplayPort by many tech manufacturers.
Product Enhancement Round-up
Our products aren’t finished until our customers say they are. We don’t introduce new products to our line of industrial monitors and touch screens until we feel they are as good as they can get but there’s always room for improvement. We listen closely and continuously review our products to see how we can make them even better.
