Hong Kong, China, June 21, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - Class leading 40V drive voltage gives exceptional noise immunity – yet controller can be powered by USB

Zytronic, a leading manufacturer of durable, customised Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT#8482; and MPCT#8482;) touch sensors is 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 unique customer size and specification with no minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Designed specifically for use with Zytronic touch sensors, the ZXY500 achieves exceptional performance and noise immunity on displays from 5” to around 86” diagonal, thanks to its class leading 40V on-board drive signal coupled with new proprietary touch sensing algorithms. Because of its excellent noise immunity, the ZXY500 allows the air gap between the display and the sensor to be decreased, reducing optical parallax and improving the appearance of the display. Furthermore, the controller’s high signal-to-noise ratio allows the touch sensor to be integrated alongside wireless technologies such as RFID / NFC readers and Qi chargers, with sophisticated algorithms within the controller firmware changing dynamically to reject electromagnetic interference in the operating environment. Optimised for use with Zytronic mutual capacitive touch detection technology and firmware, the ZXY500 enables full multi-touch performance in extremely challenging industrial and public facing applications. It can reliably detect touches through over 8mm of overlaying cover glass, even with gloved hands and is unaffected by rain, salt water, oil or ice on the surface of the touch sensor.

Commenting Ian Crosby, sales and marketing director said, “Zytronic has set a new standard for touch performance, enabling sensors to operate reliably in industrial environments from which they were previously excluded. Even in demanding conditions with high levels of EMI and exposure to contaminants, a ZXY500 enabled touchscreen is a rugged and responsive user interface. It is absolutely ideal for outdoor and unattended applications where it can be fully protected from physical damage and environmental factors without compromising performance.”

The ZXY500 can support up to 80 simultaneous touches enabling true multi-user interactivity and the implementation of improved palm rejection functionality. It also features increased speed, updating touch co-ordinates in just 1ms at the controller output – reducing touch latency by a third compared to previous generation controllers and improving the user experience. Each channel on the device can be configured via firmware to operate in transmit or receive mode. This feature further enhances performance in applications where touchscreens of unusual aspect ratios are used. Advancements in sensor design also enables inactive borders to be dramatically reduced – for example a 55” diagonal touch sensor can now be designed with sub 10mm borders.

Despite the high drive signal, the controller and touch sensor together can be powered from a 5V USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. The ZXY500 is offered with USB output as standard, but also has options to add RS232, I2C, SPI and interfaces, to simplify system integration for industrial and medical applications. The smallest controller in the new ZXY500 controller family has been significantly reduced in size to just 61 x 64mm for the 64-channel version. The flexible printed circuits (FPC) connecting the touch sensors to the new controllers have also been reduced to just 120mm in length, further helping to achieve a compact overall touch system design.

The new controllers have been designed to be HID (Human Interface Device) compliant and offer ‘plug-and-play’ operation with later Windows operating systems, and also support Linux and Android versions designed for multi-touch. All settings including calibration data can be stored in non-volatile memory onboard the controller, so that once an initial touchscreen (“golden unit”) has been optimally set up, these settings can be copied directly into firmware and used to configure further interfaces in production without the need to repeat the set-up and calibration process.

The exceptional performance and functionality of the controller results from the unique ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a custom chip created by Zytronic specifically for the ZXY500 family. Zytronic invested over $1 million in the development of the new ASIC, which has enabled a reduction in the cost and size of the controller and the elimination of much of the obsolescence risk associated with the use of third-party components for core parts of the design. The new ASIC’s are also available together with a STM 32-bit ARM Cortex microprocessor loaded with Zytronic’s proprietary touch detection algorithms as a ‘chip set’. Customers who sign a special licence agreement may then be supplied with the core chip set together with the controller schematics and bill-of-materials. Zytronic’s engineers will then work with the client to design the ZXY500 controller directly onto a mother board within their device or system, further reducing cost and conserving valuable space.

Zytronic is releasing a family of three ZXY500 controllers optimised for different sizes of touch interface. The 64-channel ZXY500-U-OFF-64 is recommended for sensors of 5” to 20” diagonal, the 128-channel ZXY500-U-OFF-128 for sensors of 20” to 55” and the 256-channel ZXY500-U-OFF-256 for sizes above 55”.

Hong Kong, China, June 5, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - Today Zytronic announced that its durable, high performance Multitouch Projected Capacitive Technology (MPCT#8482;) touch sensors have been key to the transformation of Santander WorkCaf#233; branches by the South American Customer Experience Specialist Company PX Group.

The Santander WorkCaf#233;, a one of a kind type of bank branch in Chile, turns a common branch into a community space: half bank and half caf#233;. It has now been implemented in 20 Santander branches, and is going forward to introduce 20 brand new offices by the end of 2018. Zytronic touch sensors are integrated into the sign-in kiosk and video wall that is a central feature of each Santander WorkCaf#233;.

The General Director for the Commercial Retail Banking Division, Mat#237;as S#225;nchez, stated, “WorkCaf#233; Santander transforms the way we connect with customers, non-clients and the community. It is a reflection of the changes that we are seeing in our relationship with customers and what they expect from their banks. WorkCaf#233; is targeting and encouraging a younger generation of clients, especially entrepreneurs to come and meet us as well as to interact with us online.”

Santander commissioned PX Group, the leaders in customer experience technology and biometrics in Latin America, to create WorkCaf#233;’s technological customer journey. Anneliese Schemke, Sales and Innovation Manager for PX Group, said, “With more than 15 years of retail design and innovation experience, we saw WorkCaf#233; as a perfect challenge to transform the bank branch. Touch technology was very important to our concept and we partnered with Zytronic to deliver the tablet-like touch experience that customers expect.”

Customers and non-clients sign in using a PX Group D-One kiosk designed to welcome visitors to WorkCaf#233; Santander rather than exposing a tedious barrier of admission. Customers interact with it using a 21” Zytronic multi-touch projective capacitive touch sensor. PX Group uses its Multimodal Biometric Access Profiler (MBAP) to control sign-ins. MBAP is an authentication system that eliminates passwords or secret questions and replaces it with more secure, seamless and convenient biometric data.

An interactive video wall is a fundamental feature of each WorkCaf#233;. The wall consists of four 55” screens presenting information including news, economic statistics, promotional material for Santander and other details. One of these displays features a 55” diagonal Zytronic touch sensor, operating through a protective toughened glass panel.

Anneliese Schemke said, “We now have vast experience of working with Zytronic and already know that their touch sensors offer is super reliable, the responsive experience is great even in non-ideal conditions such as when customers are wearing gloves or if their hands are swollen in hot weather. They are a valued partner, and their ability to manufacture in small volumes to support us as we rollout concepts like WorkCaf#233; Santander has been crucial to our success here.”

WorkCaf#233; Santander offices provide co-working spaces, a cafeteria and bank services, where clients and non-customers get free Wi-Fi, discounts in a high-end cafeteria, work tables, meeting rooms, state-of-the-art self-service technology, as well as the opportunity to discuss financial management with specialist relationship managers. Customers can self-manage interactions if they prefer, in a self-service zone offering quick and easy access to ATMs and deposit terminals.

Ian Crosby, Sales and Marketing Director at Zytronic concluded, “Retailers and banks are continually innovating to make their premises attractive, especially to younger customers who are very comfortable with interacting online. We congratulate Santander and PX Group on their innovative and successful WorkCaf#233; concept. It shows how touch technology is crucial in supporting innovation and allowing customer experience specialists to think outside the box.”

Hong Kong, China, September 27, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - Zytronic, a leader in custom designed, durable Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT#8482; and MPCT#8482;) touch sensors and Citybeacon today announced the deployment of 25 interactive kiosks in Eindhoven, cradle of Dutch technology giant Philips, and of the Eindhoven University of Technology, one of the world’s leading technical universities.

Eindhoven is an energetic and innovative city located in the South of the Netherlands. A quarter of the jobs in the region are in technology and ICT, and it is one of the co-location centres of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). It has welcomed the very first deployment of Citybeacon kiosks.

“Citybeacon was designed to connect the physical and digital worlds; as connectivity and interaction feature in our everyday lives, and the way in which people engage with each other and information, we decided to unify this into one solution,” said Arthur van de Poll, founder and CEO of Citybeacon. “By applying multiple technologies to street furniture, we can create a smarter, safer and healthier environment for everyone. We are especially excited that our first deployment is in such an iconic technology city.”

Working closely with OCP Solutions, developers of public outdoor communication products, Citybeacon was designed to help make cities smarter. “Blending state-of-the-art connectivity with intuitive touch screens enables visitors and residents to access relevant information about the city and local businesses, and experience their surroundings,” said Marius van Lith, CEO of OCP Solutions B.V. “We’re enabling cities to become smarter by combining a range of technologies that are scalable for the future in one unit, and the key to interacting with users is through a rugged 32” touch screen. The user experience is very important, and it was vital that the interface would provide a reliable all-weather, responsive and durable solution that reflected the qualities of Citybeacon. Zytronic’s local partner, Telerex, supported us with the selection of components, and recommended their ZYFILM#174; interactive foil for the touch solution.”

Telerex arranged for samples of the rollable ZYFILM, “They are inexpensive and easy to transport, plus once laminated to glass are stable and reliable in a wide range of environmental conditions, performing well through the locally sourced toughened glass substrates which are used to protect against potential vandalism,” said Bertram Padmos, Account Manager at Telerex. “The initial design of the 32” ZYFILM was altered slightly to integrate fully with the design, electronics and placement of buttons within the unit, which was possible thanks to Zytronic’s highly flexible manufacturing process.”

ZYFILM from Zytronic is a flexible, polyester touch film incorporating their patented multitouch technology, and is designed to be laminated to the rear surface of a rigid transparent substrate. Once applied, it is capable of detecting up to 40 simultaneous touch points through an overlay of 10mm thick or more.

The Citybeacon features a 32” ZYFILM based touch display , enabling easy access to local information, ,and directions The system also incorporates NFC, RFID, and Bluetooth based payment and mobile hand-off technologies so users can take advantage of local services such as parking and carry information to and from the kiosk. Two double sided integrated large advertising screens at the top of the unit also share information such as public service announcements and local business promotions. Air quality, UV and audience sensors provide advanced analytic data, while energy saving smart lighting adjusts to current conditions, and cameras allow public spaces to be monitored. Microphone and camera enabled full VOIP communication connects with emergency services, and free Gigabit WiFi and small cell 4G and 5G ready antennas improve coverage and connection for the sharing of information.

The press release Citybeacon selects Zytronic to create ‘Smart City’ hubs in The Netherlands comes from Xinwengao.com press release distribution and journalist media database service in China.

Hong Kong, China, July 20, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - Zytronic, a leader in durable, high performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT#8482; and MPCT#8482;) touch sensors 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. However, Vincent Le Gouic, President of ADIAL, noticed that users were increasingly trying to touch the screens when choosing a pizza.

He says, “Pizza is the best-selling fast food in France. As a nation, we consume 16 pizzas for every hamburger. PIZZADOOR is carefully designed to deliver the highest quality product. We need to be up to date in terms of the customer experience, especially as almost all our customers now have tablets and smartphones. As a consequence, they expect to be able to interact with other screens in exactly the same way. Therefore, we contacted Eurocomposant with a view to offering a touch screen enabled version of PIZZADOOR.”

Delphine Haton, of Eurocomposant, explains the challenging nature of the application. “ADIAL required a relatively large touch screen, of 31.5” diagonal, which needed to operate reliably, despite the high levels of wear and tear that self-service systems deployed in unattended outdoor locations are subjected to. The quality of the touch performance and the dependability of the screens needed to be very high, as snack foods such as pizzas can often be impulse purchases and customers will walk away if the interaction with the system is unreliable or difficult. Furthermore, although ADIAL is a leader in this market, the quantities of vending machines built are relatively low.”

Zytronic ticked all of the boxes for ADIAL, explained Delphine Haton, “Zytronic provides an outstanding solution for this kind of self-service application. We have had considerable experience of using its touchscreens in outdoor, public locations, exposed to the weather, extreme temperatures and the risk of vandalism and abuse. The quality of its touch performance is also exceptional – they genuinely provide a tablet-like performance, even on a large format touch screen. Zytronic’s flexible manufacturing process also allows ADIAL to order touch sensors as required in the volumes needed to fulfil orders as received. As a result, ADIAL is delighted with the result.”

Mr Le Gouic continues, “The touch screen enabled version of PIZZADOOR has proved extremely popular, and now accounts for the majority of the machines sold. Demand was such that we ran out of touch screens at one point. Fortunately, Zytronic was able to respond quickly and allowed us to fulfil orders without a serious delay.”

Zytronic provided a 31.5” diagonal, dual-touch ZYBRID#8482; touch sensor featuring a durable 6mm thick anti-glare glass, with a custom printed black border. Zytronic also laminates UV blocking and IR blocking filters to the rear of the touchscreens for the purely outdoor version of the pizza vending machine, enhancing the protection for the LCD behind.

PIZZADOOR is designed for installation in rest areas, truck stops, limited service hotels, hospitals, offices, and railway stations. It is also widely used by pizza restaurants in smaller municipalities in France, which can’t justify extended opening hours. Product is stored in a cooling unit, which maintains it in peak condition for the maximum time period, and carefully dispenses in order of age to minimise wastage. Customers can choose a hot pizza to eat straight away, or cold to cook and consume at home. Cooked pizzas are heated in a pulsed warm air oven delivering brown and crunchy pizzas in just 3 minutes, and are supplied in a hygienic, food grade cardboard box.. As a consequence of the success of the touchscreen enabled PIZZADOOR vending machine, ADIAL’s revenue has grown by over 30% per annum over the last four years.

Hong Kong, China, July 4, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - Zytronic, a leader in durable, high-performance Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT#8482; and MPCT#8482;) touch sensors, has supplied an 84” diagonal touch sensor 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 6.7M visitors annually, making it the fifth-most-visited museum in the world.

New Mexico-based 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. The exhibit’s legacy iteration was projection based; and while it was very popular, the table was outdated and was becoming harder to maintain.

“The Smithsonian was looking for an update of this proven exhibit. We made some minor improvements to the interface and improved the software itself, but the biggest upgrade was to move the exhibit from a projection-based, optical touch table to a highly reliable, hardened and responsive touch table,” said Ideum’s founder, Jim Spadaccini. “We effectively rebuilt the entire exhibit from the ground-up to withstand the rigors of nearly constant use at what is one of the busiest museums in United States.”

Ideum engineered an 84” touch table and chose to use Zytronic’s touch sensor because it could be built to Ideum’s exacting specifications, and was able to deliver the multi-touch capabilities required to support simultaneous use by up to six visitors. Zytronic was heavily involved in the design process, and was able to produce the single, bespoke design 84” touch sensor without any of the upcharges that often accompany custom work from other touchscreen manufacturers. The ZyBrid#174; touch sensor was designed using 6mm-thick thermally toughened Anti-Glare etched glass, providing a combination of smooth ‘finger glide’ interactivity and impact resistance, and the Ideum table was manufactured in powder coated aluminium for additional durability.

To support the new hardware configuration, Ideum also redesigned the software to include key interactive elements. Specifically, once users complete their space station modules, they are able to virtually launch their module, displaying the final product at the centre of the table. Users can then email a rendering of the final product to friends or family.

This is the third recent touch-table deployed by Ideum in a Smithsonian museum. Similar tables are currently in use at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City. In all cases, multi-touch interactivity enabled by Zytronic is being used to draw in visitors and provide an extremely reliable, low-maintenance solution to the museums. This tactile engagement gives visitors an important way to interact with the exhibits and uses technology to reinforce learning through hands-on participation.

Commenting, Mark Cambridge, CEO of Zytronic, said, “Zytronic is committed to ensuring that its business meets the highest standards of quality and environmental management. We therefore made it a priority to achieve the transition to the revised ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards, which we have achieved quickly in just over a year, more than 18 months ahead of the deadline for compliance.”

Cambridge continued, “The new standards are very much in alignment with Zytronic culture, because they ensure that the company’s management systems are fully integrated with its business strategies. In order to achieve the transition, we were able to demonstrate the key changes of Zytronic’s leadership commitment to the standards and that our processes reflect the aspects, impacts and risks we see as a business as well as the context in which we operate. Achieving the transition to the new standards proves to our customers, employees and other stakeholders that our management and environmental systems continue to be fit for purpose and are fully conformant to the latest best practice.”

ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 standards were published in their final form in September 2015, and are the first major revision of the standards since 2000. Key changes include greater emphasis on building a management and environmental system suited to each organization’s particular needs. This includes a requirement that those at the top of an organization are involved and accountable. It also introduces risk-based thinking to make the systems a preventive tool and a platform for continuous improvement. The deadline for achieving compliance is September 2018, after which an organisation not accredited to the new standard is no longer compliant.

Carla Whyte, Senior Client Propositions Manager at BSI commented: “Zytronic should be proud that they have achieved certification to both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 well ahead of the 2018 deadline, demonstrating they are carrying out best practice in quality management and environmental management. Certification to these standards will bring a number of benefits to the organization, including stakeholder confidence, improved business processes and increased customer satisfaction.”
