Image of Grayhill's Touch Encoder Grayhill’s touch encoder provides product development engineers simplified designs for industrial, digital audio and visual, medical, and off-highway markets.

The touch encoder represents innovation in Human Machine Interface (HMI). It is an encoder with a P-CAP, high resolution touch screen that is capable of multiple programmable interactive widgets. The encoder is IP67 sealed, IK6 impact resistant, USB 2.0 or CAN J1939 compliant, and tablet programmable based. The touch encoder provides limitless possibilities for HMI. It combines multiple devices into one, saving panel space. Just tap, swipe, and turn. It is that easy.

Designers use an intuitive tablet development app that allow them to personalize multi-touch gestures, generate images, and customize the display. They can also use Trigger Logic™ which eliminates the need for a software engineer to configure the device.

Examples of Applications

Kitchen and industrial equipment: the touch encoder makes a great choice for commercial kitchen equipment, fabrication and production assembly equipment, and surface-mount technology (SMT). By combining multiple HMI technologies, engineers can save on unit price and tooling costs, while the simplified interface also makes worker training easier
Medical: the touch encoder’s ease of use and IP67 sealing both in back and in front of the panel, as well as its adaptability, make designing the TE in medical applications such as ultrasound machines, patient transport, and sterilization equipment a standout product for consideration by designers
Off-road: be it armrests, dashboards, or marine applications, designers can benefit from the touch encoder’s no-look operation, impact resistance, and CAN bus interface

Key advantages include
No look operation Supports multiple configuration options Easier and less costly to support multiple languages Supports tap, swipe, and rotation gestures		Consolidates multiple component functionalities Sealed construction (IP67) Impact resistant (IK6)

Communication in Industrial Networks Each individual industry approached the task of deploying electronic controls on individual pieces of equipment, linking these controls into islands of automation, and finally pulling these islands into a factory-wide network.

IoT is Available to Everyone Everyone has access to the IoT and the development kits discussed in this article are just a sample of the tools available to IoT designers.

Sensor Data Fusion More than Just Sensor Integration Sensor fusion is more than the sum of the individual parts. It is an exhaustive effort in the integration of hardware and software.
