An HMI solution with sophisticated sensor functionality does away with controllers and switches in the interior. Touch sensors and radar gesture control form the interface between people and the car interior, evocatively staged with day-night design or backlighting. The third advantage lies in their sustainability: HMI which is controlled by touch sensors eliminates a number of components as well as delivery transport and can have a positive impact on the environmental footprint. The use of sustainable technical textiles for the covering of interior components – for example made of RECOSYS® rPET - also contributes to this.
Simply amazing.
Sustainability x Style x Innovation. Textiles made from RECOSYS® rPET offer completely new design options in the automotive interior. They give new outfits to instrument clusters or other components with a large selection of structures, colors and functional coatings. The look: Unusually cozy. The material: Exceptionally sustainable. Made of 100% recycled PET, documented and transparent. The instrument cluster is operated capacitively via multi-touch sensors from the KURZ subsidiary PolyIC, while the surface remains free of buttons or switches for a modern, tidy interior.
Modern, visually appealing, touch-based HMIs are becoming increasingly important in car interiors. Metallization with indium, as an environmentally friendly alternative to electroplating, brings fantastic reflections into the interior of tomorrow and is also suitable for 5G. Emotional design and individual character make the interior a feel-good space.
Thanks to state-of-the-art, efficient solutions, almost any interface can take over functions. Even with 5G-compatible indium metallization. This turns the interior into a multi-functional center - from the headliner to the instrument cluster, and from the door to the driver’s seat. Intelligent interfaces keep the driver in control. The latest inspiration: The design concept developed by KURZ subsidiary SCHÖFER and HMI system solution provider BHTC (Behr-Hella Thermocontrol).
Many things are possible with DECOPUR®: Surfaces with polygon 3D structures and spectacular depth effects as well as integrated functions. Backlighting makes them visible and provides orientation. Surfaces decorated with PUR are very robust and even self-healing. Also, they are usable when utilizing recycled materials.
Light is a megatrend for automotive interiors. With emotional ambient lighting and exciting color changes, the consumer can set the scene for their vehicle making every product unique and customizable. When multi-dimensional structures, depth effects and day-night design meet, your brand becomes unmistakable.
