Presenting commuters in Japan with resilient user interfaces capable of coping with arduous operating conditions

Zytronic, the leading designer and manufacturer of Projected Capacitive Technology (PTC™)-based touch sensors, has expanded its research and development (R&D) team with the addition of two experienced electronics engineers. The additional resources will be used to advance our touchscreen development addressing the rising demand for the company’s product range.  

Zytronic, the public use touch sensor specialist, has extended its sales and support network in North America with the appointment of Sigma Sales Corp as its representative centered on New York State. Sigma will promote Zytronic’s innovative Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) touch sensor portfolio in an area covering metropolitan New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

In order to increase the depth of support it can deliver to the market, Zytronic has introduced the first in a series of new software drivers for use with its range of Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) touch sensors and touch controller products. This presents the industry with a more comprehensive platform on which touchscreen systems with high performance, heavy duty operation, strong accuracy levels and exciting feature sets can be built from the ground up. 

The ZXY100 has been favourably received across multiple industry sectors, offering stronger through-glass performance, native Windows® 7 support (including dual touch, to cover core gesture recognition functions) as well as faster touch detection, and with this additional product offering its scope is further enlarged. The chipset, which is available by special agreement, is provided as two compact ICs, a 32-bit microprocessor with an ARM® core preloaded with the proprietary PCT™ firmware and a Zytronic designed ASIC-based analogue front end.

Diebold Inc. has recognised Zytronic with Silver Award Status as part of its global supplier recognition program for continued excellence throughout 2011. Diebold (NYSE: DBD), which has a 150-year history, is a leading supplier of innovative self-service and security solutions.
