JASPER specializes in the design and manufacturing of rugged membrane switch panels and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) tailored for demanding industrial environments. Our interfaces are built to perform in applications where durability, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable — from factory automation to heavy-duty equipment control systems.

Why Choose JASPER for Industrial Interface Design?

  • Custom Engineering: Every project begins with a detailed discovery process, ensuring our team designs to your application’s exact requirements.
  • Rugged Construction: Our membrane switches are resistant to moisture, abrasion, chemicals, and vibration, making them ideal for factory floors and outdoor conditions.
  • High Reliability: We offer tactile feedback options, LED integration, and long actuation life — critical for operator safety and control consistency.
  • Integration Ready: Our panels easily integrate with PLC systems, embedded controllers, and advanced HMI technologies.

Applications Across Industrial Sectors

JASPER's industrial control interfaces are used in a wide variety of industries:

  • Manufacturing & Automation: Assembly line controls, robotic interfaces, and programmable touch panels.
  • Energy & Utilities: Panels for generator control, pump systems, and remote monitoring stations.
  • Transportation: Dash interfaces and diagnostics panels for off-highway and commercial vehicles.
  • Industrial Equipment: CNC machine panels, packaging systems, and heavy machinery control surfaces.

Design Options & Features

JASPER offers a wide range of customizations for industrial membrane keypads:

  • Overlay Materials: Polyester or polycarbonate with hardcoat for chemical resistance
  • Backlighting: EL, LED, or fiber optic illumination
  • Tactile Feedback: Metal domes, polydomes, or non-tactile options
  • Environmental Sealing: IP65+ options for dust and liquid protection
  • Connector Types: ZIF, solder tab, or custom ribbon cabling

Example Use Case

One of our clients in the food packaging industry required a sealed operator interface for a washdown production area. JASPER designed a fully enclosed tactile membrane switch with antimicrobial overlay, LED backlighting, and chemical-resistant materials — allowing safe and reliable operation in a high-moisture, high-pressure environment.

JASPER's Commitment to Quality

All our industrial control solutions are manufactured under strict ISO-certified processes, ensuring quality, repeatability, and long-term reliability. With over 20 years of experience in interface design, JASPER partners with OEMs globally to bring dependable control to mission-critical applications.
