Sanitary, safe and reliable – stainless steel keyboards by noax

noax Technologies has developed two stainless steel keyboards with hygienic designs to accompany its industrial PCs (IPCs) and industrial thin clients (ITCs). One has a protective film and one functions on piezoelectric principles. Just like the industrial PCs, these input devices have been specially designed for use in extremely demanding conditions. They can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and still function despite fierce requirements. Their suitability for industrial applications stems primarily from a completely sealed, dust-free and waterproof housing made of V2A stainless steel that is also grease-, oil- and chemical-resistant. Unlike standard PC keyboards, noax keyboards are very easy to clean. This makes them compliant with the strict guidelines set out by the FDA and EHEDG, both of which have approved the keyboards for use in sensitive industries such as food and pharmaceutical. These keyboards have a robust, non-slip base and standard USB ports. These features translate to improved comfort for users, increased efficiency when entering and requiring information, and less cleaning and maintenance time.

No question about it. Even in an industrial environment, users would rather use a standard keyboard than other devices to enter information. noax industrial PCs possess an integrated touch-screen keyboard, but even that can be time-consuming depending on the application. Some companies solve the problem by attaching a regular keyboard to the IPC, but for many tasks that becomes a hygiene issue, especially in the food industry. In other areas the keyboards break within a short time due to the heavy usage. That is why noax Technologies developed two keyboards specifically for its industrial PCs and industrial thin clients. One has a protective film and one functions on piezoelectric principles. Both input devices can withstand even the harshest conditions and are therefore ideal for use in industrial environments. They also comply with the strict hygienic requirements of food industry operations.
