Application

Certainty at the operator station.

Machine fronts, operator stations and control rooms run around the clock with different people at the panel every shift. When a button is pressed, the operator needs to know it happened, and the machine must not react to anything else.

What goes wrong today

And what the HABI Button changes.

TodayWith the HABI Button
Did it register?

Without clear feedback, operators press again, hold too long or walk over to check, and double actions follow.

Felt, seen and heard

Every accepted press is confirmed with a haptic click, light and an optional tone.

Too many parts on the panel

A button, an indicator lamp and a buzzer are three parts to buy, mount and wire for one function.

Button and indicator in one

The RGB light shows the function's state, driven by the button itself or your PLC.

Contamination and wear

Oil mist and dust work into mechanical buttons, and touch screens struggle with dirty or gloved hands.

Sealed front, dual sensing

A sealed front and a press that must pass both sensors.
