Engineering-led design, assembly optimization & production delivery
PR166 is a fully integrated 15.6 inch industrial display module engineered for direct installation into compact industrial PC systems. Unlike standard display sourcing, the client needed a production-ready assembly: bonded PCAP touch screen, a custom anodized aluminum frame, stable HDMI→LVDS controller integration, and repeatable mounting logic suitable for volume manufacturing. SHAMANA validated the mechanical design, optimized assembly by switching to integrated threaded studs, implemented functional and aesthetic QC, and delivered ~800–1,000 units to an Italian industrial manufacturer.

The Challenge
PR166 was not a standard display sourcing task.The client required a production-ready display module, not just a panel—one that could be directly integrated into compact industrial PC assemblies with:
mechanical rigidity
visual consistency
clean electronics integration
repeatable assembly flow
The challenge was to engineer a solution that scales, not improvise a prototype.
Engineering & Execution
SHAMANA handled the project end-to-end, starting from mechanical design validation to electronics integration and assembly logic.
Key engineering decisions included:
Custom anodized aluminum frame Chosen for rigidity, durability, and industrial aesthetics—avoiding deformation and tolerance drift common in plastic housings.
Bonded PCAP touch solution Eliminating layered assemblies improved optical clarity, durability, and reduced long-term failure risks.
Dedicated HDMI → LVDS controller integration Ensured signal stability and compatibility with compact PC architectures, avoiding generic or unstable off-the-shelf conversions.
Assembly Optimization — The Turning Point
During real assembly testing, an initial spacer-based mounting solution proved functional but inefficient for production.
SHAMANA re-engineered the mounting logic by introducing integrated threaded studs, which resulted in:
faster assembly time
fewer components
reduced risk of misalignment
improved repeatability in production
This change alone significantly improved manufacturability and consistency.
Quality Control & Validation
Before shipment, each unit underwent QC checks, including:
Functional testing (display, touch response, controller behavior)
Aesthetic inspection (frame finish, alignment, surface integrity)
Only units meeting both technical and visual standards were approved for delivery.
Packaging & Delivery
The final modules were packaged using protective, transport-safe solutions designed to:
prevent mechanical stress
protect electronics and bonded glass
ensure zero-damage delivery to the Italian production site
Final Outcome
PR166 was delivered as a fully integrated, production-ready display module, combining:
mechanical integrity
electronic stability
optimized assembly flow
consistent quality across a 4-digit production run
The project successfully transitioned from pilot to volume production without compromises.

Why This Project Matters
PR166 reflects SHAMANA’s core strength:engineering-driven sourcing and execution, not catalog reselling.
We operate as a technical production partner, capable of redesigning, optimizing, validating, and delivering complex industrial components at scale.
