OTTAWA, September 8, 2022: Crank | AMETEK has partnered with OsakaNDS to extend graphical UI development services and support in Japan.
This partnership will help streamline high-performance GUI development for embedded systems in the region.

Further to expand their services, OsakaNDS created Advanced Technology Center in April 2022, providing the products with professional services as a solution provider and differentiating with cutting-edge technology on hardware and software. This partnership will make it easier for embedded devices with seamless integration between reliable hardware and industry-proven GUI development tools. Our flagship, cross-platform embedded GUI framework will give designers the freedom to design without limits and developers the opportunity to focus on business logic and optimization.

"We are really excited to help clients in creating new value with the technology of Crank, which has more than 500 million units worldwide,? said Yutaka Toida, Director, Advanced Technology Center at OsakaNDS. ?As an easy-to-use UI development tool, Storyboard can not only help our customers in their development but with improving the CX - customer experience of their products.? We (OsakaNDS) look to provide customers with high quality and cutting-edge technology and offering Storyboard helps us with creating more value for manufacturers in Japan.?

Storyboard was built to help embedded development teams create modern and intuitive touch screen experiences. Through it, designers and developers can work together collaboratively in an efficient development workflow to ensure UI/UX design elements are preserved while optimizing the application for performance on the target hardware. With Storyboard, teams can accelerate UI development, iterate on design changes more quickly and have maximum UI flexibility across hardware and OS platforms, resulting in unmatched performance and delightful customer experiences on touch devices.
