tacterion & TE Partnership featured on IT&Production

Smart Industrial Components

TE Connectivity (TE) and tacterion are teaming up to create cutting-edge smart connectors and components. These intelligent devices, incorporating tacterion's plyon® sensor technology, will enhance the lifetime of industrial components by enabling interfaces for human input and feedback. With a thin and flexible hybrid sensor system utilizing both capacitive and resistive measuring principles, it is positioned to enable a new era of predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, and safety applications in Industry 4.0.

tacterion and TE's Collaborative Edge

Dr. Michael Strohmayr further emphasized tacterion's holistic approach, providing a comprehensive sensor solution covering design, engineering, production, and data analysis. He explained, "TE does not have to work with different companies to provide design, engineering, production, and data analysis with machine learning and the necessary IIoT connectivity." This full-stack capability of tacterion eliminates the need for multiple collaborations. The partnership, rooted in scalability and efficiency, promises not only innovative smart products but also a seamless process from concept to deployment.

Redefining Sensor Technology

Central to this partnership is tacterion's plyon®, a sensor platform technology set to redefine the landscape of intelligent sensors. Dr. Michael Strohmayr highlighted tacterion's unique approach, noting, "Most sensor providers either care exclusively about hardware or software. tacterion, on the other hand, basically delivers everything from a single source." plyon®, with its patented bendable and stretchable proximity, touch, and force sensors, introduces a flexible, robust, and highly responsive solution for curved or irregular surfaces.
