Engineered for high reliability under demanding mechanical, chemical, and environmental conditions across the Iberian industrial ecosystem.
The Autonomous Community of Madrid stands as Spain’s central technological and industrial engine, generating over 19% of national GDP. From the aerospace engineering clusters in Getafe and Leganés to the biomedical hubs of Alcobendas and Tres Cantos, and the logistics-automation networks across the Corredor del Henares (Alcalá de Henares, Torrejón de Ardoz, Coslada), manufacturing excellence demands human-machine interface (HMI) hardware that eliminates points of mechanical failure.
Traditional mechanical switches fail in Madrid’s manufacturing and outdoor environments due to ambient airborne particulates, rapid thermal fluctuation between summer dry heat (+42°C) and winter chills, as well as aggressive washdown cleaning regimes. TAVO Electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd. supplies Tier-1 and Tier-2 engineering contractors across the Comunidad de Madrid with precision-manufactured, custom membrane switches, graphic overlay panels, and flexible printed circuits built to rigorous DIN and ISO standards.
Ruggedized, EMI/RFI-shielded membrane panels featuring dead-front night vision compatible backlighting, MIL-STD vibration resistance, and chemically inert surface films for aviation maintenance test units.
Tactile metal-dome control keyboards for PLC panels, autonomous mobile robot (AMR) docking stations, and conveyor sorters with IP65 oil-tight and dirt-proof surface perimeters.
Antimicrobial textured Autotex polyester graphic overlays bonded with zero-cavity antimicrobial sealants, compatible with bleach, isopropyl alcohol, and hospital sterilizers.
Solar inverter control interfaces and fast-charging DC EVSE panels featuring UV-block hard-coats, optical clear display windows, and anti-yellowing graphic stability under high solar irradiance.

Replacing bulky legacy electroluminescent (EL) foils that degraded within 2,000 hours, modern Madrid industrial HMIs employ Light Guide Film (LGF) arrays with micro-etched diffusion dots. Powered by edge-mounted high-efficiency SMD LEDs, LGF systems achieve balanced, non-glare luminance across keys and logos with an operating lifetime exceeding 50,000 hours.
Dust ingress from Central Spain’s dry continental climate combined with pressurized chemical cleaning requires advanced perimeter gasket engineering. We utilize laser-cut 3M 200MP and 300LSE acrylic transfer tapes with double-sided closed-cell elastomer dampeners to maintain hermetic integrity under thermal expansion differentials.
Seamlessly integrating digital displays with membrane front panels, Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA) dry lamination bonds graphic overlay windows directly to LCD, TFT, or OLED glass. This eliminates the internal air gap, prevents condensation in refrigerated storage facilities in Coslada, and enhances daylight contrast under bright Iberian sun.
Unlike trading brokers, TAVO Electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd. controls every facet of HMI production across two specialized manufacturing facilities: our primary campus in the Robot Industry Port of Xianghe (Hebei) and our high-density electronics base in Huizhou (Guangdong). Spanning over 2,219 square meters of climate-controlled, ISO Class 7 cleanroom facilities, our 111+ verified technical personnel execute complete production without outsourcing critical stages.
Our production methodology is reinforced by a multi-decade technical and operational partnership with a premier German membrane switch manufacturer. This collaboration governs our precision tooling, screen mesh tension standards, conductive ink curing profiles, and strict inspection thresholds aligned with European engineering expectations (DIN EN ISO 9001:2015).
Every switch assembly undergoes automated multi-pin computerized circuit verification to inspect contact bounce (<5ms), insulation resistance (>100MΩ at 100V DC), loop resistance, and LED forward voltage tolerances prior to release.
Precision test rigs evaluate snap ratios, tactile feedback tactile ratio (40% to 60%), and life-cycle endurance (1,000,000 to 5,000,000 cycles) to ensure tactile feel remains uniform across multi-key operational consoles.
Programmable environmental chambers subject units to cyclic thermal shock (-40°C to +85°C), 95% RH humidity soaking, xenon arc UV light aging, and 5% neutral salt fog corrosion testing for maritime and exterior installations.
Clear, technical, and regulatory answers addressing commercial, logistics, and production inquiries from the Madrid metropolitan area.
To generate manufacturing tooling and production films, our 10-person CAD engineering department requires mechanical outline drawings in vector formats such as AutoCAD DXF/DWG, STEP, or IGES specifying all cutout dimensions, key embossing profiles, and tail egress coordinates. Graphic overlay artwork should be provided in Adobe Illustrator (AI), vector PDF, or CorelDraw with defined Pantone (PMS) or RAL color references and text converted to curves. Circuit traces can be supplied as electrical schematics, pinout tables, or Gerber RS-274X data.
Engineering prototype samples (typically 5 to 10 finished pieces) are completed within 7 to 10 business days following final approval of our digital engineering drawing (PDF/DWG proof). Production tooling is manufactured in-house using CNC machining centers to minimize lag. Volume series production (500 to 50,000+ units) typically requires 2 to 3 weeks depending on multilayer component complexity. Air courier delivery (DHL, FedEx, UPS) to Barajas Airport or direct to your facility in Madrid takes an additional 3 to 5 business days.
Silver migration occurs when an electric field across adjacent silver conductive traces induces electrochemical dendrite growth in the presence of moisture. TAVO prevents this failure mode through three preventative measures: (1) overprinting all silver circuit traces with a continuous carbon-graphite protective barrier layer, (2) applying a thermally-cured dielectric insulation mask over all non-contact zones, and (3) maintaining strict trace pitch spacing rules (>0.5mm for higher DC biases). For mission-critical aerospace or medical switches, we recommend our etched copper Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) architecture with polyimide coverlay, which eliminates silver paste entirely.
For indoor consumer electronics, polycarbonate (PC) offers high optical clarity and economical cost. However, for Madrid’s exterior outdoor systems (e.g., EV chargers, ticket vending kiosks) and aggressive factory floors, we recommend premium biaxially-oriented polyester (PET) such as MacDermid Autotex XE or Autoflex. XE-grade polyester incorporates an integrated UV-blocking hardcoat that resists yellowing, embrittlement, and micro-cracking caused by intense solar exposure, while delivering superior chemical immunity against diesel fuels, hydraulic fluids, alcohols, and industrial solvents.
We support flexible international trade arrangements including DAP (Delivered at Place) and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Madrid addresses, as well as standard EXW, FOB (Shenzhen/Tianjin), and CIF terms. Our export documentation team provides accurate HS Tariff Classification codes (typically 8537.10 or 8538.90 for industrial control boards and switch panels), full commercial invoices, packing lists, and Certificates of Origin (Form A) to ensure seamless clearance through the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria - Aduanas).
