The rugged display industry is witnessing several notable trends driven by technological advancements and increasing demand across various sectors. One prominent trend is the integration of augmented reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities into rugged displays. As industries like logistics, manufacturing, and field service increasingly adopt AR for enhanced operational efficiency, rugged displays equipped with AR features are becoming essential. These displays offer real-time data overlay, improved interaction, and visual guidance in challenging environments, thus boosting their value proposition. For Instance, in June 2024, Getac Technology Corp. launched its latest line of rugged tablets featuring advanced AR capabilities. The new tablets are designed for use in industries such as field service, logistics, and manufacturing. They offer real-time data overlays, improved interaction, and visual guidance to enhance operational efficiency in challenging environments. The launch was accompanied by a strategic partnership with Zebra Technologies Corp. to integrate Getac's rugged tablets with Zebra's enterprise mobility solutions.
Another significant trend is the growing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency in rugged display design. With increasing awareness of environmental impact, manufacturers are prioritizing the development of eco-friendly displays that consume less power and utilize recyclable materials. Innovations such as low-power LED backlighting and energy-efficient screen technologies are becoming more prevalent, reflecting the industry’s shift towards greener solutions. This trend aligns with broader corporate sustainability goals and meets the demand for environmentally responsible products. For instance, in September 2023, Helios Technologies launched the PowerView P70, a next-generation rugged display-controller. This Pro Series product features an edge-to-edge full-color touchscreen with exceptional sunlight readability and high-performance all-weather durability, making it ideal for powersports and heavy-duty industrial equipment.
