The story of Safety Commander™ development
For more than 20 years, IDEC has been engaged in development of devices
that merge SUI
(*1)
and GUI
(*2)
. Along the way, as tablets have come into wide
use, we turned to development of the Safety Commander™, aimed at easy-to-
use touch panels and reliable switches, while being built both for ergonomics
and ruggedness.
*1) SUI (Solid User Interface)
Human/machine interface based on operation of
physical switches, buttons and other such parts.
*2) GUI (Graphical User Interface)
Human/machine interface based on operation of
virtual parts displayed on a screen, such as figures
and icons.
