TouchThink HMI Panel PC Empowers Construction Robots: Full-Scenario Adaptation Solutions & Application Cases

TouchThink smart city

Industry Application Overview

The construction industry serves as a vital pillar of China’s national economy. Under traditional models, both construction and production rely heavily on labor-intensive methods, resulting in low efficiency, difficult quality control, and high risks. As China’s demographic dividend diminishes, the construction sector faces labor shortages and rising labor costs head-on. The development of digital, intelligent, and automated smart construction is now imperative. Within this context, construction robots serve as a crucial entry point for smart construction. Leveraging advantages such as uninterrupted operation, high efficiency, and standardization, they are widely applied across all phases of the construction process.

Industry Application Requirements

A smart construction solutions provider has independently developed a full-cycle, multi-functional construction robot fleet for tasks including wall sanding, site cleaning, and floor coating application. By integrating AI intelligence, IoT, and sensor technologies, these robots achieve high-precision positioning, path planning, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and other automated operations. On construction sites, these robots must withstand challenging environments such as dust pollution and vibrations, making operational stability critical. The client selected TouchThink to provide control and interaction solutions for the robots, with the following requirements:

Smart Construction Robot-TouchThink IPC Manufacturing
  • High-definition capacitive touchscreen supporting interactive applications such as robot operation settings and dynamic monitoring.
  • Equipped with a high-performance processor to support applications such as robot sensor data processing, environmental perception, and analysis.
