Zytronic Plc

Zytronic has recently invested over £350,000 into their Northeast manufacturing site. The upgrade to glass processing and storage equipment increases the range of products and design features offered to customers and streamlines operations.

Manufacturer of large format, durable and customised Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touch sensors, Zytronic, has announced that its touch technology has been used to create the double sided, 55” interactive display in the slimline Blade kiosk created by Design to Production and currently being piloted in Australian Volkswagen showrooms. 

Over 47 million patients have reportedly checked in to see their GP through a Zytronic PCT touch sensor. This is because the sensors, supplied by distributor Display Technology, have been the top choice for Engage Health Systems (formerly known as Wiggly-Amps), suppliers of patient-facing services for the healthcare sector.

Provider of custom-designed, durable Projected Capacitive Technology touch sensors, Zytronic, launched its Hybrid Touch technology, fully integrating touch and physical controls into the sensor’s active area. Zytronic’s hybrid touch allows tactile buttons or mechanical dials to be incorporated in and around the active area of the projected capacitive touchscreen and which are connected invisibly through the viewable area of the screen.

Human Machine Interfaces (HMI’s) used in hazardous or industrial applications have a difficult life, and their designers face many challenges when integrating interactive technologies into these systems. A new generation of touch controllers will transform the design of industrial projected capacitive (p-cap) touchscreens, with technical innovations that deliver better performance and functionality than before. 

Zytronic new version of its rugged, customised touch screens is now available to support secure PIN entry applications via their development partner, Cryptera. The new PCI PTS compliant product, named CryptoTouch Unattended has been co-developed with Cryptera.

Touch sensors from Zytronic are setting a new benchmark for speed, accuracy and performance of touch interfaces in electrically noisy and other demanding industrial environments with the launch of its new ZXY500 family of multi-touch controllers. As with all its products, Zytronic can offer the new controllers with custom design touch sensors manufactured to a customer size and specification with no Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ).

  Provider of custom designed, durable Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touch sensors, Zytronic, and Citybeacon have announced the deployment of 25 interactive kiosks in Eindhoven, cradle of Dutch technology giant Philips, and of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Eindhoven is an energetic and innovative city located in the South of the Netherlands.

Provider of durable, high performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touch sensors, Zytronic, has announced that its touch sensors are being used in the ADIAL PIZZADOOR, a self-service vending machine retailing high quality pizzas for the notoriously discerning French palate. ADIAL has manufactured pizza vending machines since 2002, and its original design used mechanical selection buttons alongside a colour LCD screen to present appealing images of the product inside.

An 84” diagonal touch sensor has been supplied by Zytronic to the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution (NASM) for inclusion in a recently unveiled exhibit. The museum – which displays the world’s largest collection of aircraft and spacecraft – welcomes 6.7 million visitors annually, making it the fifth-most-visited museum in the world. Ideum was tasked with updating one of the museum’s most heavily used exhibits – a touch-interactive table that enables visitors to design, customise and launch space station modules of their own creation.

Zytronic has announced that Amtek has been able to double the capacity and increase the internal space in its range of condom vending machines, by switching to a user interface based on a Zytronic projected capacitive touch sensor. The electronic vending machines can also hold a much wider range of product, and deliver detailed sales reports in real time allowing stock to be tuned to local demand.

Zytronic has announced that it has supplied nearly 700 touch sensors for self-service ticket machines installed on the Moscow Metro and at Moscow bus stops. The 17 and 19" sensors were supplied by Elatec, Zytronic’s partner in Eastern Europe, to Russian systems integrator Progressive Self-Service Systems, JSC (PSS), and are part of a phased roll-out which will eventually extend to over 1,600 machines. PSS designed and built the new touch screen based terminals to replace existing push button mechanical self-service ticket machines.

Zytronic has announced that it has signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Future Electronics, a global distributor of electronic components. The formal agreement extends a successful partnership between the two companies, who have already worked together to create kiosks and other solutions for blue chip consumer brands. 

Zytronic has announced the option of Corning’s Antimicrobial Corning Gorilla Glass to help prevent the spread of stain and odour-causing bacteria on self-service kiosks and other public-use touchscreens.

Producer of custom designed, high performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT and MPCT) touch sensors, Zytronic, announced that, in collaboration with Tangible Display, it is able to offer object recognition capability on its MPCT multi-touch glass (ZyBrid) and foil (ZyFilm) sensor products up to 215cm in diagonal. 

A new museum in Wroclaw, Poland has opened and has been designed with numerous multimedia experiences to showcase Polish history and culture, including several small to large touch screens using flexible and durable ZYFILM and ZYBRID technology from Zytronic.

An international manufacturer of retail car wash units, Nilfisk Car Wash Business Unit, has chosen Zytronic’s proven and durable Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT) touch sensors to provide the user interface and interactive digital signage features for its popular Wap WaschBär self-service car wash systems. 

  Zytronic has announced the addition of force sensing to its touch sensors allowing ATMs, kiosks, game terminals and interactive video walls to differentiate between a soft and hard touch. Force or pressure sensing is becoming available on smartphones and tablets.

Simplifying and speeding the design of powerful and intuitive multi-touch user interfaces for Android, Zytronic has announced its Android ZyConfig App.

Zytronic is unveiling a new multi-touch controller with a faster response time and gesture recognition support for smaller self-service touchscreen applications. Optimised for displays of 22” diagonal and less, the Zytronic ZXY150 touch controller is designed to offer tablet-like multi-touch functionality on smaller screens for publicly used interfaces in kiosks, ATMs and vending machines.
