4D Insights

iX Energy, a provider of intelligent mobility solutions based in New Delhi, India, partnered with 4D Systems to source a high-quality LCD display for their vehicle conversion kits, which transform conventional vehicles into electric or hybrid ones. Given iX Energy's need for a cost-effective and quickly implementable solution, 4D Systems recommended an off-the-shelf LCD product - the GEN4-ULCD-50DCT-CLB. This unit offers high-quality visuals, aesthetic appeal, and compatibility with iX Energy's retrofitted vehicles. While the display unit has not yet reached the final stage of production, the iX Energy team is confident that it will integrate seamlessly with the vehicles, providing important parameters and guidelines to the driver during vehicle operation.

In light of COVID-19 disruptions, businesses globally are adapting to evolving norms, particularly witnessed in supply chains highly dependent on key manufacturing hubs like China and Europe. Manufacturers faced significant delays awaiting components. Notably, 4D Systems, an Australian tech manufacturer specializing in graphic solutions and embedded displays, ramped up operations to meet global demand, especially within the medical equipment sector. For instance, Portugal's CEiiA significantly contributed to the increased production of ventilators, utilizing 4D Systems’ advanced display module, gen4-uLCD-70DT, expediently creating a reliable medical invasive ventilator “Atena,” subsequently deployed across Portuguese medical facilities, embodying Australia's critical role in global medical technology supply amidst the ongoing pandemic.
