Beetronics Displays Deliver Reliable HMIs for Ludlow Electrochemical Hardware

Ludlow Electrochemical Hardware, based in Queensbury, NY, has selected Beetronics touchscreens as the human-machine interface (HMI) solution for its hydrogen and fuel cell testing systems. By integrating Beetronics industrial-grade displays, Ludlow delivers dependable, user-friendly operator interfaces for researchers and engineers working to advance clean energy innovation.

A Pioneer in Fuel Cell Test Hardware

Ludlow Electrochemical Hardware has established itself as a leader in designing and manufacturing advanced fuel cell test stations, electrochemical hydrogen pumps, and custom test hardware. Their solutions are used by laboratories and industrial partners developing next-generation hydrogen technologies.

In addition to manufacturing, Ludlow provides third-party testing and full fabrication services, making them a one-stop shop for electrochemical research and development. Their commitment to precision and reliability has earned them a trusted place in the clean energy sector.

Bringing Control to Complex Systems

At the core of every Ludlow test station is the operator interface that allows users to configure tests, monitor performance, and collect data. The Beetronics 22" Touchscreen Metal Display (22TS7M) provides crisp Full HD resolution, capacitive multi-touch capability, and a responsive interface, making it an ideal HMI for researchers.

Because experiments often run for hours or even days, the display must remain reliable and responsive throughout. Beetronics’ industrial-grade screens deliver smooth operation that keeps workflows on track and prevents costly downtime.

Designed for Demanding Lab Environments

Testing hardware operates in challenging conditions, from 24/7 labs to pilot production environments. The Beetronics 22TS7M is built for these situations, featuring a rugged IP65-rated front panel that protects against dust and liquids.

Its wide input voltage range (DC 10-36V), slim profile, and VESA mounting options allow seamless integration into Ludlow’s testing stations without compromising ergonomics or accessibility.

Beetronics displays have been a key part of our success, helping us deliver high-quality test stations to the fuel cell industry. Our customers frequently compliment the HMI’s clarity and responsiveness, which reflects both the quality of Beetronics hardware and our focus on delivering dependable, user-friendly systems.

Meeting Demands for Reliability and Design

As the main point of interaction, the display is critical to the success of each test station. Ludlow needed a solution that could deliver excellent visibility, fast touch response, and the durability to withstand constant use.

Beetronics touchscreens meet these requirements, offering sharp image quality, robust construction, and easy integration into custom housings. This ensures Ludlow’s customers can focus on their experiments instead of worrying about interface issues.

Built for Long-Term Consistency

Consistency is essential for researchers, and even small changes to hardware can disrupt experimental results or require costly adjustments. Beetronics provides a stable hardware and firmware baseline, ensuring that future production runs and replacement parts remain identical to existing installations.

This long-term reliability allows Ludlow to confidently build and service test stations, supporting their customers’ research and development programs over many years.

Supporting the Hydrogen Economy

By combining Ludlow’s engineering expertise with Beetronics’ proven display technology, they are helping accelerate hydrogen and fuel cell innovation worldwide. Together, they deliver reliable, intuitive test equipment that enables scientists and manufacturers to push clean energy technology forward with confidence.

How to Choose the Best Touch Technology for Your Application

Touchscreens have become an integral part of how we interact and communicate, not only with technology but also with each other and society as a whole. Even at this very moment, there’s a good chance you’re reading this on a touchscreen device. But have you ever stopped to consider how this technology actually works, what types of touch systems exist, and which are best suited for different applications? Let’s take a closer look at the technology behind the displays we use every day.

Display Technology

The Technologies Driving Today’s Displays

The rapid pace of digitalization has kept display technology in constant motion. In just a few decades, the industry has moved from bulky cathode ray tubes, the heavy TV cabinets that once defined how we saw the world on screen, to today’s ultra-thin OLED panels that push the boundaries of color, contrast, and design. In between, entire generations of technology have appeared and disappeared, some gradually refined, others abandoned, and new approaches continue to surface at a remarkable pace.

Use Cases Hospitality & Food Service

Heisenbug Integrates Beetronics Touchscreens in Self-Service Hotel Kiosks

Across the hospitality and service industries, self-service technology is rapidly becoming the norm. From fast food ordering stations to parcel lockers, appointment check-ins and airport terminals, these solutions are now a familiar part of daily life. And for good reason. They empower guests and customers to complete essential tasks independently without waiting in line or depending on staff availability. For operators the benefits are just as clear. Less time spent on repetitive processes, reduced staffing requirements and lower long-term costs after the initial investment.
