The design and engineering process is the way a product is manufactured. It is the process of converting a vision into a finished product. This includes research on the market for your product, development of prototypes, design change and modification to improve performance, production planning and management and then the actual production process.
Careful consideration is given to the materials and adhesive properties when developing a user interface. The graphic overlay is more than the surface interface between your product and its user, graphic overlays protect the membrane switch underneath, and are often subject to harsh environments and/or chemicals.
They are often made from polycarbonate or polyester, and may include embossed buttons, integrated display windows, integrated shielding, and brand elements including color and graphics.
These all contribute to the user experience with the membrane switch, product, and brand and are all considered during the design and engineering process to ensure the final product is exactly what you require.
At ECI Technologies, we customize every user interface to operate reliably under any condition, including: extreme temperature, exposure to dirt, humidity/water, UV rays, chemicals, and more.
“ECI’s attention to detail recently saved my company an enormous amount of time and money. They identified anomalies in our design, suggested several options and implemented them seamlessly during our new product launch. They will be a part of our team on all new projects moving forward.”
