Agricultural Industry

Engineered to Withstand the Elements — and the Workload

Modern agriculture demands technology that’s as tough and reliable as the people using it. At JN White®, we specialize in building custom membrane switches, graphic overlays, and complete user interface assemblies designed to thrive in the most challenging agricultural environments — from dusty fields and muddy conditions to temperature extremes and rough handling.

Whether your equipment is in the cab of a tractor, on a combine, or mounted to an irrigation system, we deliver high-performance solutions that help operators stay in control and on task.

 

Why Leading Ag OEMs Trust JN White

Durable Materials

Our user interface components are designed to stand up to the rigors of farm life. We use UV-stable polyesters and polycarbonates that resist fading and degradation from long hours of sun exposure. Moisture-sealed adhesives and coatings prevent water ingress from rain, wash-downs, and high-humidity environments. Resistant to mud, dust, corrosive chemicals, and mechanical vibration, our materials ensure long-term reliability no matter the season or conditions.

Glove-Friendly Tactile Feedback

Agricultural operators often work in gloves — and interfaces need to respond accordingly. We engineer membrane switches and keypads with clear, responsive tactile feedback that can be felt even through thick gloves or in conditions where visibility is poor. Whether it’s a dome switch or embossed button, each actuation provides a distinct “click” or pressure response, helping reduce input errors and keeping operations running smoothly.

Sealed Interfaces with Gasketing & Shielding

Our interfaces are built with multi-layer constructions that incorporate gaskets and EMI/RFI shielding when required. Gaskets provide environmental sealing that keeps out dust, moisture, and debris, protecting the sensitive electronics underneath. EMI/RFI shielding prevents signal interference — especially important in today’s smart ag equipment, where multiple electronic systems may operate side by side.

Custom Branding & Aesthetic Integration

Just because an interface is rugged doesn’t mean it can’t look good. We offer custom printing, colors, textures, and finishes that align with your brand’s visual identity and match the aesthetics of your equipment. High-durability printing methods ensure legends and icons won’t wear off over time, even with repeated cleaning and heavy use.

Integrated Backlighting for Night Operation

Farmers and field crews often work before sunrise or after sunset. That’s why we offer a range of backlighting solutions— including LED, electroluminescent (EL), and light guide film (LGF) — to illuminate keypads, indicators, or full panels. These systems are optimized for low power consumption, long life, and reliable performance in temperature extremes. We can also incorporate selective lighting, highlighting only the keys or functions needed at a given time.

Rapid Prototyping & Production Flexibility

Agricultural product development moves fast, and we’re equipped to move with it. Our in-house engineering and prototyping teams can quickly iterate on designs, build functional samples, and provide real-time feedback to keep your timeline on track. Whether you need a short run for testing or full-scale production, we scale with you — while maintaining tight quality controls at every step

When the Work Doesn’t Stop — Your Interface Shouldn’t Either

In agriculture, downtime is costly and weather waits for no one. JN White designs rugged, long-lasting interface solutions that keep your equipment responsive, intuitive, and field-ready season after season.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

A major power management company was in the process of acquiring smaller competitors. All versions of the key user interfaces on the product needed to be transitioned to the new corporate brand identity. With the firm’s rapid expansion, the internal team needed a seamless solution that would allow them to focus on other initiatives, while maintaining confidence in the effectiveness of their key product’s brand transitioning. JN White® developed a supply chain management solution that afforded many benefits to the customer including: cost reduction, seamless coordination and shorter turn times for completed total complex assemblies.

REENGINEERED INTEGRATED SEGMENT DISPLAY

The customer approached JN White® for help in reengineering an integrated segmented display for an existing product. They needed to improve the user experience by creating display and interface buttons that were easier to read in even the brightest of environments. In addition, the new product needed to eliminate the sharp edges that were lifting and separating on the existing product. Reengineering a complex product such as this required a cutting-edge engineering team with a great deal of expertise in electromechanical manufacturing. After extensive collaboration and numerous iterations, the JN White team delivered a single domestically sourced and completely redesigned unit that meets the customer’s rigorous and specific requirements. The new unit functions properly and effectively, greatly enhancing the overall end user experience

"Very pleased with your team's response to our need during the COVID-19 crisis."
Lisa L., Medical Device
"JN White has been exceptional in working with our company in order to develop the look and feel of our new MRI patient worn transmitter. We had originally worked with a prior manufacturer for an earlier version of this product with much less desirable results. JN White delivered a clean professional product at a very reasonable price on time!"
Gary P., Medical
"We had very little information to work with and Jessica James made it nearly effortless on our end to get us exactly what we needed in a timely manner."
Lexi W., Industrial Equipment
"Getting any after-market graphic overlays done always has a certain risk factor in getting it all right. You guys were helpful, patient, & knowledgeable to achieve the best end result. Even pointing out some things that might be [an] oversight or [areas for] improvements. The outcome was perfect."
John S., Technology
"The print task was between the USA and Australia and everything went so smooth. I submitted a drawing, got a return email for me to confirm what I wanted. Even though this was over the Christmas period the print was waiting for me when I got back to work after the holidays. Great job and thanks."
Matt C., Military
"All of the folks there at JN White that I have talked to and dealt with have been very nice and professional."
Vern L., Industrial

"It has been a pleasure working with JN White. We switched suppliers for some of our products to your company and you have given us higher quality. Excellent work!"
Roger W., Education
"I feel confident that JN White will do my order correctly."
Marie P., Government
"I found working with Sara to be a pleasant experience. We were trying to dial in the color to get just the right look on the printed substrate...Sara sent us a sample print sheet that had several variations, up and down, from the colors we specified, which allowed me to pick exactly the color we wanted. The end result product is perfect!"
Don M., Safety
