IPM 2.0: Mechanical Button Alternative & Replacement

Mechanical Button Replacement, our approach to incrementally digitizing your product experiences

To streamline the integration of plyon® into your serial products, we developed the "Integrated Plyon Module" (IPM™). This easy-to-install system module adds an extra layer of comfort, safety and intelligence without interfering with state of the art assembly and manufacturing processes.

In case your solution requires more than tactile sensing: The scalable platform design of the IPM™ 2.0 allows different combinations of plyon® flex sensors and 3rd party hardware like lighting or haptic feedback in just one integration module.

HARDWARE

3 layer architecture: interaction surface - sensor core - base
Freedom of choice between various elastomers and 2k-compounds
Seamless integration of readily available sensors and actuators
Adjustable mounting structures for various screw, clamp, glue mounts tailored to your geometry and mold releases

ADVANTAGES

Custom system modules are ready for installation and operation as a hassle-free solution
Saves time in development-to-production due to less design changes and established processes
An integration-ready solution from one source (including sensing, lighting, electronics, mechanical design, wiring etc.) -> we supply the one-stop-solution
