Problem
Capacitive touchscreens often suffer from performance issues in demanding environments due to noise, water interference, thick gloves, or the need for proximity sensing. Existing solutions may lack the robustness, sensitivity, and advanced features required for reliable operation in automotive, industrial, medical, and other critical applications.
Solution
TouchNetix provides advanced touch and force-sensing solutions based on its aXiom chip technology and sensor modules. The aXiom chips deliver high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance, enabling reliable touch, hover, proximity, and force-sensing capabilities even in challenging conditions. TouchNetix offers both standard and custom sensor modules, constructed from glass or PET, complete with controller, sensor, and cover lens. The TouchHub2 software simplifies setup, tuning, and integration, while the chips support features like gloved operation, water rejection, and haptic triggering.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes engineers and product developers in the automotive, industrial, medical, military/aerospace, and appliance industries who require robust and reliable touch-sensing solutions for demanding applications.
