By application
Start with where it is used.
A remote in a hotel room and a remote on a factory floor fail for different reasons. Start from the environment, then choose the platform, keypad and enclosure that fit it.
Choose an application library
Two ways the product meets the user.
Each library groups the environments we build for, the constraints that matter in each one, and the platforms that fit.
Remote control applications
Home entertainment, audio, smart bathroom, climate, industrial and hospitality. The scenario determines the protocol, the key travel, the sealing and the legends.
Silicone applications
Keypads, sealing, consumer parts, wearables, automotive and industrial mouldings. The scenario determines hardness, finish, colour and the way the part is bonded or sealed.
What every solution includes
The same four checks before a tool is cut.
The application changes the design, not the discipline. Every project goes through the same review and validation gates.
Use review
Where the product is used, how it is cleaned, who operates it and what happens when it fails.
Platform choice
Protocol, key map, enclosure and keypad construction selected against the environment.
Prototype
T1 samples, feel and sealing checks, firmware test and a signed golden sample.
Inspection
In-process checks and 100% final inspection against the agreed standard.
Tell us where the product will be used.
That is usually enough to shortlist a platform, a keypad construction and a protocol.
