Custom human-interface components for medical, military, and industrial equipment
GRAYHILL manufactures operator interface components—encoders, switches, keypads, joysticks—primarily for medical devices, military systems, and off-highway vehicles. The stack (C/C++, ARM Cortex-M, STM32, I2C, UART, Bluetooth Low Energy, RTOS) and project mix (NPI, military solutions, tooling) reflect a hardware-first, embedded-systems-heavy operation. Current pain points center on production efficiency: timely delivery, scrap reduction, quality throughput, and audit rejects—typical of a manufacturing business scaling custom orders.
GRAYHILL designs and manufactures interface components and integrated panel solutions, serving regulated markets where user ergonomics and haptic feedback directly affect device safety and usability. The company offers both off-the-shelf products (optical encoders, rotary switches, CANbus-enabled keypads and joysticks) and custom-engineered solutions, often incorporating wireless communications and displays. Based in La Grange, Illinois, with multiple manufacturing facilities globally, GRAYHILL combines component design with contract manufacturing—delivering both standard SKUs and fully integrated operator interface panels for OEMs in medical, defense, and agricultural equipment sectors.
GRAYHILL designs around ARM Cortex-M and STM32 microcontrollers, using C/C++, RTOS, I2C, UART, USB, and Bluetooth Low Energy for wireless capability. CANbus integration is standard in keypads and joysticks.
