Capacitive keyboard in ELETOR devices

When designing new products, we give our customers’ suggestions top priority. The electronics market for livestock farmers operates by entirely different rules from, for example, the consumer electronics market. Therefore, devices must be closely tailored to the needs of the industry.

Our customers expect above all reliability from ELETOR products. We do our best to meet this expectation, although it must be said plainly that no devices in the world are 100% reliable.

- Why? The answer is simple. - Everything has its limits. Product reliability is influenced by many factors, such as: design, the quality and service life of components, installation quality, operating conditions and duration, servicing conditions, and natural factors - e.g. storms. As the manufacturer, we cannot control everything.

Our many years of experience enable us to select suppliers who maximise the reliability of our products, while our high production volumes make it possible to offer good prices alongside high product quality.

For obvious reasons, we cannot influence device reliability throughout the entire product life cycle, but during the design and production stages we focus on maximising the usability of our devices.

One of our latest solutions is a capacitive keyboard, which we have been working on for several months. In new projects, we want to move away from traditional mechanical buttons in favour of touch-sensitive ones. Using this type of keyboard will reduce the risk of damaging the front-panel label and, as a result, improve the protection of the electronic system’s seal inside the device.
