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 touch system assembly and repair requirements," says Francesco Fasoglio, European business manager, 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 LCD's 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.
Command Strips for Touch Sensors are available worldwide. Contact information for the 3M sales representative in your region can be found on www.3m.com/touch.
NOTICE: Command Strips for Touch Sensors were developed for use with the 3M MicroTouch System SCT3250EX (previously known as the 3M MicroTouch ClearTek II Touch System). Customers using other touch sensors must determine whether Command Strips are suitable for use with their preferred touch sensor and in their intended application.
