SHELTON, Conn., March 2021 – EAO, the expert partner for innovative, intuitive and reliable Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), announces the introduction of its new Emergency Stop Switch Configurator. This interactive virtual 3D configuration tool improves the customer experience by allowing engineers and designers to intuitively configure and purchase modular products that meet their individual requirements.
EAO’s globally certified emergency stop switches can be constructed from a wide range of components and configured in a variety of ways to ensure they meet the different requirements of various industries. This flexibility, however, can sometimes lead to uncertainty when choosing a particular product. Now, with EAO’s Emergency Stop Configuration Tool, engineers and designers can easily configure more than 130 component and accessories into more than 2,000 different custom combinations.
A Unique Solution
To prevent mistakes, this system only suggests compatible components—enabling customers to access the right product as quickly and efficiently as possible. The 3D configuration tool also provides useful visualization features such as real-time photorealistic 3D renderings of components and product configurations. For example, designers can immediately view precise simulations of different material characteristics that affect surface texture or light reflections.
Built using extensive user experience research, the Emergency Stop Switch Configurator also accounts for the needs of different target groups. Helpful features such as automatic CAD data generation, specific “quick profiles” and useful product filters, ensure designers can quickly and easily create an E-Stop that meets their specific technical criteria.
Flexible E-Commerce Functions
The Emergency Stop Configuration Tool is available around the clock on the EAO website. With renowned global distributors integrated directly into the system, customers can choose exactly where they want their order to be completed.
Uncompromisingly Customer-Focused
The E-Stop Switch Configurator offers an intuitive and responsive interface that can be seamlessly accessed on either a computer or mobile platform. With a consistent customer focus at every point of the journey, and 24/7 availability, the E-Stop Switch Configurator is a leading example of how consulting services can be effectively digitized.
