A Journey Built on Real Industrial Challenges
In 2005, industrial facilities everywhere were facing a growing yet often overlooked problem: legacy machine displays were failing faster than OEMs could support them. CRT backlights were burning out, replacement parts were being discontinued, and full monitor assemblies were either costly or completely unavailable.
Maintenance engineers were troubleshooting blind, plant managers were juggling downtime, and industrial repair technicians were frustrated by the lack of dependable aftermarket solutions.
Monitech was created as a direct response to these real, everyday challenges. Our first goal was simple: provide reliable aftermarket backlight replacements that kept machines running without requiring full system replacements. This focus on solving real problems for real people continues to guide us 20 years later.
From Backlights to Complete Industrial Display Solutions
As industry needs evolved, Monitech evolved with them, developing new solutions directly in response to the questions customers brought to us.
Maintenance teams and repair technicians consistently asked whether we could replace entire monitors, provide CRT to LCD upgrade kits, support discontinued HMIs, or supply touchscreens for specific controllers.
Each of these questions guided our product development and helped shape the comprehensive range of industrial display solutions we offer today.
By listening to these challenges, Monitech expanded into:
Today, Monitech supports thousands of maintenance engineers, technicians, and repair professionals around the world. Our solutions help extend machine life, reduce downtime, and maintain productivity in the toughest industrial environments.
The First Product That Changed Everything
Our first offering, a reliable aftermarket backlight replacement, solved a problem that had been frustrating maintenance teams for years. At a time when OEMs were moving away from CRT displays, machines were being sidelined not because of mechanical failure but because of a failing monitor.
Monitech’s backlight replacements brought legacy equipment back to life and helped facilities avoid unnecessary machine replacements. That first product became the foundation for a customer-driven approach that shaped every innovation that followed.
How Our Customers Became the Core of Our Innovation
The strongest part of Monitech’s journey has always been the people who rely on our solutions. Their feedback and challenges guided every improvement.
A Maintenance Engineer’s Save
A CNC machine went dark mid-production and the OEM had discontinued the display. A Monitech LCD upgrade kit restored the machine the same day it arrived. The engineer told us:
“This was the fastest recovery we have ever had. You saved the shift.”
A Repair Technician Saves Thousands
A repair technician shared that their client’s machine was about to be scrapped over a failed display. Our easy-to-install replacement restored full functionality within minutes.
“Your solution saved my customer tens of thousands of dollars.”
A Plant Manager Avoids Capital Drain
Instead of replacing an entire control system, many plant managers choose Monitech upgrades to extend machine life for five to ten more years. This reduces operational disruption and protects budgets while keeping production lines steady.
These stories, and the people behind them, shaped our direction for 20 years.
