A great product deserves a great interface
User interfaces
A great product deserves a great user interface. However, there are many important choices to be made when creating a user interface. Should you go for touch-sensitive technology or membrane switches? How do you ensure a great user experience? What should the interface look and feel like? And how do you keep manufacturing costs under control?
“Our ultimate goal is to create user interfaces that will put
a smile on the face of your future customer.”
We help you make the right choices
Quad Industries has been developing and manufacturing user interfaces for more than 20 years. We know what works and what doesn’t, and why. We use our expertise to help you avoid pitfalls and make the right choices for your particular application: from the selection of the right technology and materials to the way your interface looks and feels. For every project, we help you strike the right balance between design, usability and cost.
We guide you from prototype to manufacturing
Quad Industries has developed a professional approach, guiding you every step of the way in the development of your user interface, from building the very first prototype through to the final validation during field tests, from development and engineering to high-volume production runs. We help you set a target price for your user interface from the very first stages, avoiding unpleasant surprises along the way. We are open to collaboration with any of your existing partners, and have our own extended network of specialized partners, including software developers and product designers.
Technologies & Applications
Membrane switches
Ever since their first introduction in the 1970s, membrane switches have formed the basis for solid and reliable user interfaces for any type of environment.
Capacitive touch
Touch-sensitive user interfaces have seen an enormous emergence in the last decade, no doubt influenced by the popularity of tablets and smartphones that use the same principle.
Haptic touch
Although haptic touch technology may provide a similar, intuitive user experience as classic touch technology, it adds a number of significant advantages.
