NEW — AnyWhere Interface Box
The AnyWhere Interface Box (AIB) is a compact, single-box "missing link" solution for control, monitoring, and interfacing. The AIB provides a cost-effective solution capable of addressing users' unique and specific needs, whether by establishing interoperability between incompatible systems or by extending the functionality of existing systems that would otherwise require costly custom programming or interfacing.
NEW — AnyWhere Interface Switch
The AnyWhere Interface Switch is the "missing link" user interface, equipped with one to four tactile pushbuttons (each with a built-in LCD display), that provides an off-the-shelf custom solution that can be configured for specific applications. Using a web browser, users assign one to five commands to a switch press. Then, the user can assign different commands to each switch press to create a ten "STEP" sequence. Each switch can be assigned different commands and different steps. Also, users can change displayed legend and indicator color on each switch press and update switch legend and indicator color remotely to display system status or user prompts.

NEW — USP-S24 and USP-S48
The USP-S24 and USP-S48 are multipurpose, configurable 24- and 48-pushbutton switch panels for Windows®-based software applications. For each USP key, users simply assign a PC key combination, i.e. CTRL A, F4, SHIFT F3, or CTRL ALT P, used by their Windows-based application. The USP provides a single button, tactile user interface to critical, commonly used functions, thereby minimizing production errors. Also, the USP-S24/48 provides a reliable Ethernet connection to the Windows computer eliminating USB connectivity issues for must-work systems.
