NSI designs and develops high quality keyboards which are dust- and waterproof, sealing up to IP67.
Industrial keyboards are designed for operation in harsh conditions. They must be protected against water, dust, dirt, oil and chemicals They are common in HMI (Human Machine Interface) terminals, consoles, kiosks, medical carts and mobile devices. They can be cleaned with industrial cleaners and chemicals. Another feature of industrial keyboards is that they are designed to be perfectly integrated into your work environment.
