VEST HMI (Human Machine Interface) Development Kits empower developers to create cutting-edge HMIs leveraging the robust NXP i.MX8M processors (i.MX8M Plus and i.MX8M Mini). These high-performance processors, featuring the ARM® A53 Core, deliver exceptional multimedia capabilities, enabling stunning 3D and 2D graphics on displays ranging from compact 4-inch panels to large 4K displays via HDMI. With extensive experience designing for harsh operating environments, VEST ensures its products meet stringent IP65/67 (water/dust) and IK08 (impact resistance) standards for touch panels,
along with other critical requirements, including sunlight readability. VEST also provides customized graphical user interface (GUI) design and software UI/application development services using Qt, React JS, Android, and LVGL.
Prepare for the future with our forthcoming Next Generation Contactless HMI, integrating microphone arrays with Voice Intelligent Technology powered by deep learning speech recognition and mmWave 60GHz radar sensing.
