Windows Lifter.
Drivers expect window lift controls that are intuitive, safe, and aligned with modern interior design. While capacitive surfaces enable sleek and minimalist designs, they can cause accidental activation. Mechanical buttons remain more reassuring due to their clear physical feedback, but they limit design freedom and can wear out over time.
The challenge
For automotive integrators, technologies such as those from Nanomade enable more flexible HMI designs for window lifter systems by embedding sensing directly into surfaces. This solution overcomes key integration challenges by combining design freedom with reliable, progressive tactile feedback, while ensuring robustness, automotive compliance, and seamless integration into existing electronic and mechanical architectures.
