Below is a selection of case studies that demonstrate the reliability and versatility of CKS products in a variety of demanding applications and environments:
Thames Water
Products:96 Series Sealed Keyboard
Company:Thames Water
Function:Control and monitoring of London's water supply system.
Demanding Conditions:Non-stop 24 hour reliability
Testimonial:

"Being operational non-stop for 24 hours a day all year round we needed a keyboard that was robust and above all reliable."

Ordinary keyboards i.e. those designed for use with PCs, tend to fail in less than a year. Since they were installed by Thames Water, the CKS Compact 96 Series Keyboards have performed faultlessly without breakdown or malfunction.

Products:Industrial Client PC, 96 Series Sealed Keyboard
Company:Large Supermarket Chain

Testimonial:

"At these temperatures condensation forms within the computer which results in components malfunctioning."

"We chose CKS because they told the truth. They did not have a product able to operate at these temperatures but they knew what the problems were. They also had the technology to overcome the difficulties, and by working with us, produced the ideal solution."

Cleveland Potash Ltd

Company:Cleveland Potash Ltd
