QSI Corporation is a private manufacturing company located in Salt Lake City, Utah that specializes in rugged human machine interfaces and mobile data terminals.
History
Established in 1983 by James K. and John D. Elwell, QSI began manufacturing low-power C-44 bus board computers. In 1984, QSI introduced their first terminal (the “QTERM”), a simple 20-key unit with a display. QSI products have been used in numerous extreme environments including arctic installations, off-shore oil rigs, and the United States space shuttle.[1]
Technology
QSI’s human machine interface and mobile data terminals are CE certified, RoHS compliant and NEMA 4/12/13 rated. QSI is an acknowledged leader for rugged handheld human-machine interface devices.[2] Vissumo (formerly InfiniTouch) touchscreen technology was first developed at QSI.[3] QSI also introduced the first mobile data terminal with a 4.3-inch format touchscreen display specifically designed for the trucking industry.[4] Qlarity, an object-based programming language, was designed by QSI Corporation for use on their graphic HMIs and mobile data terminals.
