3M Command Strips for Touch Sensors honored at Kiosk Europe Expo 2009
May 21, 2009
METHUEN, Mass. — Command Strips for Touch Sensors, 3M Touch Systems' new and unique method for removing and integrating touch sensors, has received the coveted EAFS Self-Service 2009 Best Technology Award at the Kiosk Europe Expo 2009 in Essen, Germany.
Each year the European Association for Self-Service (EAFS) selects stand-out products from the wide range of Expo exhibits that represent a significant improvement or departure from the existing industry norm. This year 3M's Command Strips for Touch Sensors received industry recognition for providing a simple solution to the complex problem of servicing touch sensors and touch displays.
Per the EAFS award statement, "The board has decided to present this award to 3M for their ‘Command Strip' innovation — a removable sealing strip which solves a common touch screen maintenance issue as encountered in many self-service solutions. This technology reduces maintenance time and use of resources dramatically, as no special tools are required for fast, on-site repair of common touch screen damage."
"We are very pleased that EAFS's Technology Award recognizes 3M's ongoing commitment to its display integrators and kiosk manufacturers in adapting its well-known Command Strips technology as a simple solution for their touchsystem assembly and repair requirements," said Francesco Fasoglio, European business manager for 3M Touch Systems. "We are confident that this new 3M product will help these customers increase their manufacturing efficiency while reducing the maintenance costs of their products."
Command Strips for Touch Sensors offer display integrators and kiosk manufacturers an easy-to-remove and easy-to-integrate maintenance solution that can help differentiate their products. When kiosk products are integrated with peel-and-stick Command Strips, damaged touch sensors can be easily removed or LCDs can be quickly serviced by pulling the Command Strip "stretch release technology" tabs. Replacing a touch sensor can take only minutes using Command Strips, compared to nearly an hour using aggressive double-sided tape, the current industry integration standard. This means that on-site maintenance can be easier and service time reduced.
