Car Wash System

Challenge
The switching solution needed to be able to withstand intensive usage of hundreds of drive-throughs per day, be vandal-proof and offer trouble-free reliability under extreme conditions, while of course being resistant to water, detergents and chemicals.

 

Solution
Barantech’s hermetically sealed housings ensured that the indestructibility switches withstand the demanding environment: water, harsh chemicals, detergents, salts, heat, and ice. Using a robust anodizing process, we also created a customized switch that looks great and has stood the test of time, and also added an extra bright LED dot for optimal visibility.

Emergency Call Box

Challenge
Emergency call boxes are exposed to the elements 24/7/365, and are located in unattended areas stretching hundreds of kilometers of motorway. Drivers in distress need to know that when they press the emergency call button – help will be on the way.

 

Solution
Barantech’s engineering team developed an innovative piezo switching solution – a rugged, weatherproof and vandal-proof button – with a self-diagnostic capability that integrated seamlessly with the company’s communication protocols.

Underwater Diving Equipment

Challenge
For professional cave and wreck divers filming underwater, primary and video lights are essential for success. UWLD approached Barantech looking for a switch solution capable of working reliably several meters under water, with good battery life, that would allow divers to control the beam intensity with a single press of the button.

 

Solution
The real game-changer for UW Light Dudes was providing their customers with the convenience of a simple, one button control – achieved by using Barantech’s prolonged switch function that makes one switch do the job of three (even wearing neoprene diving gloves): hold down for ON, tap & release to change power levels, and hold down for OFF.

Gas & Fuel Dispensers

Challenge
Barantech was approached by the product development team of a fuel dispenser manufacturer to develop a rugged keypad to control fuel dispensing, capable of safe usage in close proximity to flammable liquids, that would eliminate the need for on-site maintenance from teams on the ground.

 

Solution
Barantech’s engineering team worked hand in hand with the manufacturers both on the mechanical design and the software development. The result was a 20-key touch metal piezo keypad mechanically designed for NEMA approval, with non-removable printed legend, made of composite materials to withstand a wide range of chemicals and fuels, and equipped with multiple connectivity: GSM, satellite and Wi-Fi.

Food Processing Machines

Challenge
Processing food, especially fish or meat, is a messy business, resulting in clogging of machines and obstructing safe operation by users, while also posing hygiene risks. ABM needed to design food processing machines that are easy to operate and clean, safe and as hygienic as possible.

 

Solution
Barantech’s specially developed encapsulation technology, that hermetically seals the piezo switch’s electronic module, is the perfect solutions for this demanding environment. This protective sealing renders switches impervious to penetration by anything – water, food liquids, contaminants, steam, chemicals – you name it. The result: more hygienic and long-lasting controls.

Premium Kitchen Appliances

Challenge
In the highly competitive premium kitchen appliance market, UX and design help differentiate competing brands. A unified fascia appearance can make a brand stand out, yet functionality remains key – controls and keypads must be impervious to condensation, grease, food residues – for optimal hygiene and easy cleaning.

 

Solution
The flexibility of Barantech’s piezoelectric control solution means that membrane controls and capacitive keypads can operate behind virtually any fascia housings material, from stainless steel and aluminum to glass and leather. This enabled the brand’s product development and design team to create a minimalist matching material flat control panel with multiple functionalities for its high-end microwave.

Prison Facility Monitoring

Challenge
Control panels and switches operating in correctional facilities must be capable of withstanding recurrent vandalism by inmates, as well operate without any malfunctions under all weather conditions. Switches must also have self-diagnostic capability so ad to alert the system to tampering and damage.

 

Solution
Barantech’s versatile capabilities and customized solutions are in full display in prisons. The company designed virtually indestructible solid-state stainless steel buttons and keypads to resist constant attempts at vandalism by prison inmates and ensure their functionality; special touch metal piezo buttons were engineered for easy activation; and switches with a built-in timer function to prevent cell flooding attempts.
