Marine environments challenge every component: salt water corrosion, permament moisture and humidity, temperature extremes, UV exposure and shocks and vibrations on the ship. 

Our clients request is to rely on a glove operable waterproof keyboard, which lasts for decades, not month to avoid downtime: so we developed the range of our marine-compliant silicone keyboards.

 

Designed for uptime in critical systems

In marine and naval environments, maintenance is complex and costly.
System reliability must be engineered from the start.

Our HMI solutions focus on:

  • Long-term durability in harsh conditions
  • Reduced maintenance and service complexity
  • Stable performance over extended lifecycles

This reflects the requirements of mission-critical and unattended systems, where reducing service effort and ensuring continuous operation directly impacts cost efficiency.

Integration without system redesign

Upgrading interface components should not require rebuilding the entire system.

Our solutions are designed for:

- Mechanical compatibility with existing housings

- Electrical integration into current architectures

- Minimal downtime during installation

- Fast deployment in retrofit scenarios

 

This allows operators to improve system reliability without significant capital investment.

Marine applications are not limited to IEC 60945-certified keyboards. Depending on the installation environment and project requirements, many customers choose our rugged industrial keyboards instead. One of the most popular solutions is the DS104W, which offers a robust IP65-rated design, excellent vibration resistance, optional backlighting, and proven long-term reliability. Whether a project requires marine certification or simply a durable, high-performance HMI, we help customers select the solution that best fits their operational and regulatory requirements.

Typical applications

  • Naval control systems
  • Offshore platforms and energy systems
  • Maritime navigation and communication units
  • Engine and propulsion control interfaces
  • Submerged and sealed control systems

Wherever systems operate in harsh marine environments, interface reliability becomes critical.
