QSI History Company History and Philosophy
QSI began operations in 1983 as a manufacturer of low-power bus board computers. Two years later, we introduced our first terminal (the "QTERM®"), a simple 20-key unit with a 4×16 display. Although primitive compared with our current products, it helped establish our reputation for building quality, reliable terminals to precise specifications.
Today, QSI Corporation designs and manufactures operator interface terminals for industrial, commercial and vehicle applications. We specialize in making both graphical and character terminals for applications where high reliability and excellent durability are a necessity. Customers have used our terminals for industrial and production machinery control panels, plant floor data collection, commercial public-access and for numerous other applications.
You have likely seen or used QSI terminals without knowing it, as products are usually customized for a specific application, and are "private labeled" with our customer's name. QSI supplies terminals that meet our customer's requirements for style, ruggedness, sealing and functionality, with their logo and name, and often within days of receiving their specification.
QSI developed Qlarity®, an object-based programming language, for a new line of intelligent graphic terminals. Qlarity uses objects to display information on the screen, accept user input and communicate with other devices. Qlarity is a BASIC-like language which provides standard programming features such as conditional logic (IF-ELSE), looping (WHILE, FOR-NEXT), a rich set of logical and arithmetic operators and built-in functions to access the terminal hardware. The Qlarity (pronounced "Clarity") language allows QSI and our customers the ability to quickly design custom applications and communication protocols to interface and control most hardware.
QSI provides semi-custom terminals in small quantities and with short lead times. For larger volume applications, we can design and provide an all-custom operator interface. Our extensive engineering experience and comprehensive environmental test facility give us the capability to design and produce rugged and reliable terminals that will meet your functional, aesthetic and environmental requirements.
QSI products are designed for use around the world, and therefore are designed using SI metric measurements and metric components wherever possible.
At QSI we strive for excellence in every aspect of our business. Our leadership team brings decades of diverse experience and knowledge to the departments they manage.
