EVs require specialised and innovative HMI solutions. EAO's versatile product range can be adapted to individual designs, colour concepts and specifications, enhancing both safety and user comfort as required with vehicle interiors and outdoor components used in charging stations and facilities.
The transition to electric drive systems calls for new, simplified control concepts that are essential to balance intelligent and haptic controls found in both the consumer and commercial electric vehicle market. While touchscreens offer convenience for some functions, haptic HMIs are proven to provide crucial tactile feedback ensuring driver safety by providing the ability to operate controls without diverting driver attention from the road.
EAO offers various HMI solutions for the EV industry that include:
Universal Switches: Ideal for safety-relevant applications and accessory controls within vehicles, featuring ergonomic, modular designs, and IP5K4 protection rating.
Pushbuttons: Reliable and versatile, these are suitable for various industries with excellent haptic feedback and customisable options.
Illuminated Pushbuttons: Pioneers in illuminated pushbutton technology, providing intuitive use and uniform, glare-free illumination.
Keypads: Robust and functional for safety-relevant applications, featuring CAN bus integration and customisable symbols.
LIN Switch Panels: Intelligent HMI solutions with LIN bus integration, flexible switch assignment, and ergonomic design.
Emergency Stop Switches: Robust, reliable, and certified to meet the most critical safety requirements to ensure the protection of both end-users and equipment.
Call for Aid Pushbuttons: Designed to be recognised with a large operating area, robust build, and IP69K front protection.
Custom Solutions: HMIs adapted to the specific needs of your application requirements with cables, connectors, legends, illumination techniques and more.
