Force touch technology perfect for precise touch interaction

In robotics and automation, DATA MODUL relies on force-touch technology that recognises pressure strength and enables intuitive user interfaces. In safety-relevant areas, this technology offers more precise control and greater safety than mechanical buttons. DATA MODUL sees great potential in the robotics and automotive industries in particular. Force Touch is based on Projected Capacitive (PCAP) technology and extends this to include force detection.

DATA MODUL is increasingly focussing on force touch technology as an alternative operating method in the fields of robotics and automation. Force touch goes beyond simply touching the screen and also detects the strength of pressure, thus enabling additional command inputs. New, intuitive, specific user interfaces can be created in this way. Especially in the fields of robotics and automation with their diverse, often parallel and complex motion sequences, compact and direct operability is a major asset.


Force touch technology is a promising alternative to mechanical buttons, particularly in safety-relevant areas. This is because the additional haptic interaction provides more differentiated and improved operation, more precise control and additional safety. DATA MODUL has recognised the potential for numerous industrial applications. However, the Munich-based system solution provider DATA MODUL has seen an increase in system solution projects, particularly in the robotics and automotive industries.

The force touch technology is based on Projected Capacitive (PCAP) technology and extends this to include force detection (Z-axis).
