Haptic HMI Platform

Welcome to our advanced Haptic HMI platform, where ddm hopt+schuler merges extensive expertise in haptic feedback to enhance Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Haptic feedback plays a crucial role by providing users with direct, tactile responses for settings, confirmations, and error notifications. This not only improves user interaction but also enhances the perceived quality and value of the device.

Our platform offers a modular and customizable system for haptic-based HMIs, adaptable to a variety of applications. Input options include rotary switches, encoders, touch-sensitive switches, and capacitive solutions like our "Display Knob Control" rotary switch, which allows input via a capacitive surface.

We collaborate with customers to tailor every detail, from detent type (mechanical or magnetic) and torque selection to the overall knob design. For touch-based systems, we provide haptic feedback via vibration. Depending on your needs, additional peripherals such as touch displays, 4G/WLAN/Bluetooth connectivity, RFID/NFC, and barcode readers can be integrated. Interface options are fully customizable, ranging from bus-based systems to Ethernet and serial communication.

Our haptic HMI systems are deployed in a variety of industries, including home appliances (e.g., washing machines, smart home panels), professional kitchen equipment, industrial tools (e.g., welding machines), and medical devices. Whether it’s a sleek smart home panel or a rugged, IP67/IK10-certified control unit for heavy-duty equipment, our solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of each applicatio

MCT - World market leader for knitting machines

We partnered with Mayer & Cie, the global leader in knitting machines, to develop a comprehensive system from a single component. Thanks to our rapid project turnaround—just four months from initial contact to delivery—we provided a complete operating unit with mechanics, hardware, and software. This project highlights our strength in delivering tailored, all-in-one solutions.
