Virtual Controls bring robust, configurable design options

 

As consumers and customers demand increasingly fresh designs across the domestic and professional appliance markets, manufacturers now have an opportunity to bring unique interface configurations which overcome many of the usability and manufacturability issues of electro-mechanical buttons and traditional touch technologies. 

 

Equipment manufacturers that are seeking a permanent innovation where design, configurability, ergonomics, robustness, endurance and responsiveness of controls for products are the key elements of market differentiation and competitiveness, can now rely on Lumio’s technologies and designs to enhance product offering, while reducing development times, and costs.

 

Lumio’s Virtual Touch can also combine touch screen applications with buttons, dials, sliders etc from the same module set. Beyond this, the same modules can be used across a family of products reducing design and qualification times and allowing for last-minute layout changes.

From simply replacing small electro-mechanical control sets, to empowering breakthroughs in appliance design, Lumio can provide solutions across the gamut of consumer home appliances, washers, dryers, fridges, cook-tops, ovens and on through into the bathroom, whirlpool bath and shower.

In a market that battles with the challenge of differentiation and innovation that brings value to the user, Lumio provides the next step.

Utilising simple robust modules employing high MTBF components manufacturers will now that they can rely on the durability of the modules.

Using customized dynamic projectors and sensing modules, Lumio can provide a unique custom buttons, dials and display solution for all in-home controls from white goods to bathroom and kitchen appliances onto previously inert surfaces.

Some of Lumio’s value added include:

• Elimination of moving parts and unwieldy PCBs
• Easily cleaned surfaces with remote scratch/damage proof components
• Lower cost of materials
• Reduced development times and enables last minute changes
• Providing consumers with state of the art technology with newer design features and innovation
• Same Modules for many applications reducing qualification and stock codes
• Significantly greater design freedom
