OVERCOMING THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES

Special vehicles operate in environments where standard HMIs fail. APEM’s solutions are built to meet the unique demands of these conditions, ensuring reliability and performance when it matters most.

KEY CHALLENGES IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS:

  • Sand and mud: fine particles infiltrate cracks, causing wear and blockages. Hardened mud disrupts control panel functionality.

  • Salt and corrosion: saltwater and dust lead to rust, damage, and compromised markings, reducing lifespan.

  • UV exposure: prolonged UV exposure fades colors, deteriorates materials, and weakens seals.

  • Frequent washdowns: high-pressure cleaning risks damaging components and seals without proper protection.

APEM’s SOLUTIONS FOR PROTECTION:

APEM’s custom HMI solutions are engineered to thrive in harsh conditions:

  • Intuitive controls: optimized for gloved operation in demanding environments.

  • Protective sealings and coatings: ensures IP-rated protection (up to IP69K) against dust, water, and chemicals.

  • Durable materials: stainless steel, aluminum, and advanced elastomeric designs for superior impact resistance.

  • Easy-to-clean interfaces: designed for quick maintenance, even with high-pressure cleaning.
