IN-HOUSE TECHNOLOGIES
TECHNOLOGY, EXPERTISE AND ENGINEERING UNDER ONE ROOF FORTEC Benelux develops and manufactures professional NOTTROT monitors for demanding applications.
Much of the technology behind our monitors is developed and integrated in-house. From engineering and electronics to optical bonding, touch integration and assembly.
This allows us to maintain control over quality and product consistency, while adapting our solutions to the specific requirements of each customer application.
A key advantage is that your monitor is not selected from a predefined configuration.
You configure the monitor based on what your application actually requires.
You tell us where and how the monitor will be used. We advise you on the right configuration. You select what you need, and we assemble the monitor specifically for your application.

OPTICAL BONDING
Improved readability. Reduced reflections. Increased robustness.
With Optical Bonding, the LCD panel is fully bonded to the front glass using a transparent gel layer.
This eliminates the air gap between the display and the glass, reducing reflections and improving both contrast and readability. It also prevents moisture and dust from entering between the LCD and the front glass.
Optical Bonding is often combined with High Brightness for applications where optimum readability is essential.

ULTRA DEEP DIMMING
From daylight to complete darkness.
NOTTROT monitors can be equipped with our Ultra Deep Dimming technology. With 256 dimming steps and an adjustable logarithmic curve, the brightness can be controlled with a very high degree of precision.
Our dimming technology is specifically optimised for the lowest brightness range. It is precisely within this lower range that the brightness can be adjusted in very fine increments, ensuring that small adjustments remain genuinely small.
This is particularly appreciated during the transition from day to evening and during night-time operations, when a step in brightness that is too large can immediately be experienced as distracting.
TOUCHSCREEN INTEGRATION
In-house lamination and calibration.
FORTEC Benelux has the equipment and expertise to laminate projected capacitive touchscreens (PCAP) behind glass and configure them in-house.
The firmware and calibration are tailored to the specific monitor and application. This allows us to keep the complete integration process in-house and adapt the touch functionality to customer-specific requirements.
Configuration is also possible via our NCOM software and/or a PLC via RS485.
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
The application is our starting point.
Engineering is a key part of FORTEC Benelux. We have the in-house expertise to adapt existing solutions to specific mechanical, electronic or optical requirements.
Our expertise includes:
- Mechanical Engineering & 3D Design
- Electronics Engineering
- Optical Engineering
- Prototyping & 3D Printing
- IEC 60945 & DNV Type Approval
- Colour calibration for ECDIS
- Product and OEM development
CUSTOM & OEM MONITORS
When standard just doesn’t cut it.
Not every application fits within a standard product.
That is why, alongside our regular NOTTROT monitors, we also develop custom and OEM solutions. These can range from a modified mechanical design or custom front glass to a completely new monitor concept.
Together with the customer, we look at the application, technical requirements and integration into the final system. Based on this, our engineers determine which modifications are actually required.
No two applications are the same.
A display installed on a ship’s bridge faces very different requirements from one integrated into a naval platform, industrial machine or air traffic control system.
That is why we start with the application, not the product.
Tell us where and how the monitor will be used, what requirements it needs to meet and how it will be integrated into your system. Our sales and engineering teams will help you determine the right solution.
