Plyon by tacterion is a flexible proximity, touch, and force sensor technology designed to bring the sense of touch to products and machines. According to the vendor, Plyon finds applications in various professions and industries, including the automotive industry, power tools and smart garden equipment industry, consumer products and home appliances industry, as well as the manual labor and manufacturing industry.

## Key Features

**Resistive Sensing**: Plyon incorporates resistive sensing technology, which the vendor says allows physical forces to be transformed into electrical signals. These sensors are small, easy to integrate, and cost-effective, and are widely used in consumer electronics, wearables, power tools, medical equipment, automotive HMI, and industrial HMI applications.

**Capacitive Sensing**: According to the vendor, Plyon utilizes capacitive sensing technology, enabling efficient human interaction with less influence from environmental conditions. These sensors are suitable for touch surfaces in automotive applications, robotics, touchscreens, and other smart devices.

**Hybrid Force Compensation (HFC™)**: Plyon features hybrid force compensation technology that combines resistive and capacitive sensing principles. The vendor claims that this technology ensures minimal drift, hysteresis, and signal instability during static loads, proximity detection, and minimal interaction forces, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of force measurement.

**TrueZero™ Technology**: Plyon incorporates TrueZero™ technology, which, according to the vendor, ensures excellent signal integrity even under bending. The sensors maintain their performance and accuracy even when integrated into curved surfaces or applications that bend during operation, enabling seamless integration into various products and surfaces.

**Customizable Layouts**: The plyon sensor architecture allows for rapid sensor format modification, tailoring sensors to meet specific application requirements. The vendor claims that this flexibility includes sensitivity, force range, shape, size, and arrangement of tactile elements, facilitating adaptive layouts and customized tactile sensing solutions.

**Simple Electrical Interface**: Plyon provides a simple electrical interface for easy integration into products. According to the vendor, the sensors can be connected to dedicated readout electronics, which preprocess the data and provide a digital output. This simplified interface enables seamless integration into various electronic systems.

**Data Processing and Analytics**: According to the vendor, Plyon sensors can be connected to the tactile brain, tacterion's data processing hub. The tactile brain enables the processing and analysis of sensor data, including raw data visualization, interpretation, and data-driven insights. These capabilities facilitate the development of intelligent products and the optimization of user experiences.

**Integrated Electronics Design**: Plyon offers integrated electronics design for efficient and seamless integration into products. The vendor states that the readout electronics are specifically designed to work with plyon sensors, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Integrated electronics enable the collection, processing, and transmission of sensor data for various applications.

**Flexible and Durable**: According to the vendor, Plyon sensors are thin and durable, making them suitable for integration into various product surfaces. The flexibility of plyon sensors allows for integration into curved surfaces and applications that bend during operation. The robustness of the sensors ensures reliable performance in different environments and under various operating conditions.

**Customizable Sensitivity and Force Range**: The plyon sensor platform allows for customizable sensitivity and force range based on application requirements. According to the vendor, the sensitivity and force range can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different products and use cases, ensuring optimal performance and accurate force measurement.
