The need for advanced and improved human machine interfaces (HMIs) is increasing due to digitalization trends like Industry 4.0, IoT, and AIoT.
Designers face challenges with liquid tolerance and sleek metallic designs using mechanical and capacitive sensors, prompting the use of inductive sensing.
Inductive sensing offers opportunities for reliable touch solutions on metal surfaces and in wet environments and helps simplify designs, create attractive interfaces, and optimize costs.
Inductive sensors enable the creation of new, robust touch HMI solutions, as depicted in Fig.1, facilitating advancements in touch technology.
