Touchless Modules for Infection Control

Design Development and Mass Production Support

Background

The touch panels of ATMs and POS devices, which are frequently touched by numerous people, have been reported to be a hotbed for the spread of infections such as COVID-19, because their smooth screen surfaces and warm temperatures from the LCD provide an ideal environment for viruses to attach themselves and proliferate. This forces companies that own devices with touch panels to frequently disinfect them to ensure safety and security.

Our Solution

To ensure the safe use of touch-panel devices, we offer contactless modules that any company can easily and quickly retrofit to existing equipment. These modules have a proven track record of successful implementation at airport kiosk terminals, supermarket cash registers, libraries, and more.
These modules can be easily retrofitted to touch panel terminals and devices via USB to enable close-distance operation in the space above them without actually touching the panel.
The internal sensor employs an “infrared TOF method” that measures distance using infrared light. Normally, a sensor module must be attached to at least two sides of the terminal to capture X and Y coordinates. This rod-shaped module, on the other hand, can capture the X and Y axes from only one side. Simply attaching it to one side provides functionality without detracting from the terminal’s design. It also supports both Windows and Android based operating systems.
In addition to providing modules, we also offer the services below.

  • Design customization to harmonize with the device on which it will be attached
  • Customization of its contactless operability (sensitivity, response time, response area, etc.)

We can also provide long-distance contactless touch operation modules that enable “touch input in the gesture recognition” allowing distance operation by simply attaching them to large displays, like those found on vending machines or digital signage.
