Haden Howell, VP Americas & Segment Lead for Rugged Environments

Can you tell us how Beijer Electronics products perform in vibration and outdoor environments?

Haden Howell: “At Beijer Electronics, we prioritize the durability and reliability of our products, especially in challenging environments. Our products are designed to withstand significant vibration and harsh outdoor conditions, ensuring they perform optimally in various industrial applications.”

That's impressive. Could you elaborate on the specific features that make your products so resilient to vibration?

"Certainly. Our products undergo rigorous testing to meet international standards for vibration resistance. The HMIs are tested to 4 g RMS sweep sine for vibration and 40 g 11 ms half sine for shock. We use advanced materials and robust construction techniques to minimize the impact of vibrations. For instance, our rugged HMIs are built with reinforced casings and secure mounting options to ensure stability and longevity even in high-vibration environments."

How do these features benefit your customers in real-world applications?

"In real-world applications, our customers often operate in environments where machinery and equipment generate substantial vibrations. Our products' ability to withstand these conditions means less downtime and maintenance, leading to increased productivity and cost savings. For example, in the marine and transportation industries, our HMIs continue to function reliably despite constant movement and vibration."

What about outdoor environments? How do Beijer Electronics products perform there?

"Our products are designed to excel in outdoor environments as well. They are built to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and exposure to dust and water. We use high-quality seals and coatings to protect the internal components from environmental factors. Additionally, our products are tested for UV resistance to ensure they don't degrade under prolonged sunlight exposure."

Can you share any specific examples of where your products have been successfully used outdoors?

"Absolutely. One notable example is in the energy sector, where our products are used in outdoor generator installations. These environments can be quite harsh, with fluctuating temperatures and exposure to the elements. Our products have proven to be reliable and durable, helping to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of these renewable energy systems."

It's great to hear about the real-world impact of your products. Are there any upcoming innovations or improvements in this area that you can share with us?

"We're continuously enhancing our products' durability and performance. One area we're focusing on is improving the energy efficiency of our outdoor products, ensuring they consume less power while maintaining high performance. We're also exploring new materials and technologies to further increase resistance to extreme conditions. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most reliable and advanced solutions available."

In conclusion, Beijer Electronics is dedicated to providing solutions that perform reliably under intense vibrations and harsh outdoor conditions. Our commitment to quality ensures that our solutions excel in even the most demanding environments.
