Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Links

What is the standard development timeline for a SMART user interface project?

SMART user interface projects typically require 40 to 60 working days for the design and development phase. Actual timelines depend on the complexity of the electrical, firmware, and system requirements.

How long does it take to receive SMART HMI samples?

Standard sample lead time for SMART user interfaces is 30 working days after the design and development phase has been completed.

What are the production lead times for SMART user interfaces?

Production parts for SMART user interfaces typically require 30 to 40 working days. Lead times can vary based on production quantity and material availability.

How long do membrane switches, silicone rubber keypads, and graphic overlays take to produce?

Membrane switches and silicone rubber keypads generally require 3 to 5 working days for pre-production engineering, followed by 25 working days for samples and 25 working days for production parts. Graphic overlays typically require 2 to 4 working days for pre-production engineering, with 25 working days for both samples and production production orders.

Can lead times vary based on project requirements?

Yes. Lead times may vary depending on factors such as design complexity, electrical and firmware requirements, order quantity, material lead times, and any specialized manufacturing or testing requirements associated with the project.
