【Overview】
■Background
A commercially available numeric keypad was being used for the entry and exit system at a construction site, but it received poor reviews in terms of usability and durability, leading to the introduction of a replacement keyboard.
■Key Points of Implementation
In the entry and exit system, the keys 3, 5, and 7 on the numeric keypad were designated for entry, exit, and confirmation, respectively. However, this was confusing for users, resulting in frequent misoperations, so shortcut keys were added separately. Labels can be placed inside the transparent keycaps, eliminating the issue of fading text during use. Additionally, due to the dusty environment of construction sites, the dust-proof structure was also a key point for implementation.
■Effects of Implementation
By using a numeric keypad combined with shortcut keys, we achieved reliable operation. The adoption of rubber springs that also serve as seals resulted in a dust-proof and waterproof keyboard. The key tops are covered with transparent caps, ensuring durability without fading text. This has led to an overall improvement in the functionality of the entry and exit system.
