What to do when the touch screen is discontinued? How to break the deadlock.

What to do when the touch screen is discontinued? How to break the deadlock.

 Once the touch screen product is discontinued, it may cause supply interruption, product iteration difficulties or inconvenience in after-sales maintenance for existing projects. In the face of this situation, it is recommended to "break the deadlock" from the following aspects:

1. Emergency response measures: ensure the continuous operation of the project

• Confirm the scope of discontinuation and remaining inventory
  Confirm with the original supplier whether it is a complete discontinuation, whether there are still tail goods or transitional stocks, strive for the last batch of product supply, and buy time for alternative solutions.
• Backup inventory/lock goods in advance
  If it is expected that the alternative solution will be difficult to implement in the short term, consider centralized procurement of a batch of inventory for maintenance or short-term production to alleviate the risk of out-of-stock.
• Find alternatives of the same model from existing channels
  Although some capacitive touch screen modules have been discontinued, they may still be in stock or compatible models on the market, which can be found through the original authorized agent, distributor, and secondary market.

2. Medium- and long-term solutions: replacement and upgrade
Find compatible replacement models

• Same size (such as 7 inches, 10.1 inches, etc.)
• Consistent interfaces (such as I2C, USB, SPI, etc.)
• Similar or compatible driver ICs (such as GT911, ILI2511, EETI series, etc.)
• Similar structures (such as G+G, G+F, etc.)

DINGTouch can provide one-to-one customized replacement solutions based on the original model, keeping the original system structure unchanged to the greatest extent. Upgrade products
If the original model technology is old, it is recommended to evaluate whether a new generation of touch screen products can be introduced, such as:

• Higher resolution 

             Multi-touch (upgraded to 5 points/10 points)

• Stronger anti-interference

          Higher protection level (such as IK10, waterproof, dustproof)

• Customized development matching solution
  If standard products are difficult to completely replace, you can choose to customize the touch screen:
• Appearance size customization

         Structure (G+G, G+F+F) customization

• Interface/drive solution adaptation

         LOGO/glass printing customization

3. Prevention first: Establish a sustainable supply chain mechanism
Establish a system of multiple alternative suppliers

• Avoid relying on a single brand or model to ensure sufficient alternative paths. 

• Pay attention to product life cycle information (PCN management)

         Establish a close cooperation mechanism with suppliers, obtain the discontinuation notice (Product Change Notice) in advance, and reserve a switching cycle.

• Prefer sustainable suppliers
  Touch screen suppliers such as DINGTouch, which have more than ten years of industry experience, a complete product line, and strong customization capabilities, can provide long-term technical support and rapid response.

IV. Summary: The suspension of touch screen production is not a dead end, proactive response is the key

• Technology is backward
