Advanced Material Properties.
In the area of sensor technologies, at Datwyler we aggregate all the activities in which we deal with combining our sensors. We combine the positive properties of elastomeric materials with the electronic properties of specific sensors. This allows us to make a variety of parameters measurable and to provide our customers with additional features and capabilities – both in general and in terms of their user-friendliness.
Thus, sensor technologies offer numerous application areas, which may be of great significance, particularly for products in our core markets such as Healthcare and Mobility. Depending on the application area and integration into the overall system, sensors enable force and pressure detection, as well as temperature and humidity measurement. Even if materials have the wrong spacing to one another or are touching in the wrong place, the technological aids can help. The use of appropriate sensors also increases protection against counterfeiting. Track & trace applications are based on this technology.
From the Initial Development Stage to serial production Readiness.
Our Soft Dry electrodes are an example of a successful combination of sensor technology and our material know-how. This advanced wearable innovation is based on a flexible, conductive polymer and represents a specific sensor in an adaptable design. Check out our Soft Dry electrodes innovation here. But predictive maintenance is also possible with the help of appropriate sensors.
Other products and innovations in the field of our sensor technologies are currently still in the development stage. According to Technology Readiness Level, we currently classify these at development level 4-5. Thus, we have already been able to confirm the feasibility of our inventions in principle, develop initial prototypes and introduce demonstration models.
