Share:
Salt Lake City, Utah. 25 January 2007. QSI Corporation, manufacturer of rugged human-machine interfaces, was selected by Otis Elevator Company, the leading worldwide supplier and maintainer of people-moving equipment, to provide the graphic human-machine interface terminals on Otis' new Compass(TM) destination entry system in deployment at the Seven World Trade Center building in New York City.
The Compass system utilizes QSI Corporation's custom-built, ADA-compliant, graphic keypad. A distributed network of QSI terminals are connected utilizing the unique abilities of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). PoE allows for both power and communications to be contained in a single CAT5 Ethernet cable, thereby simplifying installation, reducing costs and increasing flexibility.
The QSI custom graphic keypad developed for Otis utilizes a 320Ã-240, TFT color display measuring 3.8", with a 12-key keypad. To learn more about QSI's custom terminal offerings, visit www.qsicorp.com/product/custom/.

"We are delighted to be selected by the world's premier elevator company to supply terminals that will be used by tens of thousands of passengers daily," states Jim Elwell, COO of QSI Corporation.
The QSI terminals use an object-based graphic terminal programming language called Qlarity®. Qlarity Foundry® is QSI's PC-based design tool which provides a Windows® environment for screen creation, application simulation, debugging and downloading to the QSI terminals.
