When ASHTECH approached Intellicomm, they had a clear challenge, they needed a reliable, affordable, durable device that could withstand the harsh realities of a factory floor. It had to be resilient to dust and resilient to theft, two non-negotiable requirements for any device deployed in a busy industrial environment.
This brief led to the birth of BigDRIOD, a solution that has since become an innovative locally manufactured Human Machine Interface (HMI) in South Africa.
Built for the Realities of the Factory Floor
BigDRIOD was designed from the ground up to solve the specific problems that plague standard touch computers in industrial settings. Dust, grime, and the constant risk of theft are everyday threats in factories, and conventional devices simply weren’t cutting it.
Intellicomm’s answer was to fit BigDRIOD in durable, easy-to-clean 316 Stainless Steel. This was a material choice that ensures the device can survive in environments where hygiene and durability are great importance.
Where BigDRIOD Works
The solution has proven itself across a wide range of applications, far beyond the original brief. BigDRIOD is now deployed in:
Food and Beverage factories where washdowns and strict hygiene standards are routine.
Staff Internet Terminals that need to be both accessible and secure.
Why BigDRIOD Stands Out
What makes BigDRIOD different is its combination of affordability and ruggedness. Many industrial-grade touch computers come with a premium price tag, we managed to deliver a solution that is both accessible and built to last.
The Android-based platform means it’s familiar and easy to use, reducing training time for staff. The stainless steel housing means it can be cleaned without been damaged. And the theft-resistant design gives factory managers peace of mind.
For ASHTECH, this wasn’t just about buying a device, it was about solving a genuine operational problem. This continues to be a reliable HMI that could be deployed across their factory floors without constant worry about breakdowns or replacement costs.
The Result
ASHTECH now has a touch computer solution that works as hard as their production lines do. BigDRIOD has transformed how they manage their factory floor operations, proving that you don’t have to choose between durability and affordability.
