Stylish switches and sensors

Capacitive Proximity Sensors

Non-contact switching and sensing
We handle development on commission, prototype testing, and mass production.

Overview

Even in places that you do not want to or cannot touch, our sensors can detect when something simply approaches. They can be used with a wide variety of applications, such as fluid level sensors in lights and non-transparent devices.

Features & Strengths

Point1 We manufacture sensor conductors in a variety of shapes

Point2 Transparent, invisible non-contact sensors

By using transparent conductive film as the conductor, it is possible to create transparent sensory parts.

Point3 Attractive design by combining with decorative film

Specifications

The capacitance type sensor in this video allows the light to turn on when a person approaches the transparent dome. As they get closer, the light will get stronger, and as they grow more distant, the light will grow darker.

  • Sensory parts: Transparent dome processed with transparent conductive film
  • Transducer Parts: LED light

Examples of actual use

Our capacitance type sensor technology was selected for use in the IoT development kit for capacitance type sensors (Bit Trade One LTD, HQ: Kanagawa Prefecture). The kit went on sale on March 31, 2017. The product uses the Bluetooth Low Energy transmission standard and via an application on iOS devices only, sensor status can be monitored remotely.

When outsourcing of thin-film coatings to substrates provided by customers

Below is an example of contact us-to-delivery process when outsourcing of thin-film coatings to substrate materials provided by customers. Whether you need a single item prototype or mass production, trust Geomatec to provide high-quality, high-performance thin-film coatings.

  • Step1Contact Us

    For detailed questions regarding our products and solutions, order numbers and specifications, delivery times and budget, areas where delivery is possible, or for any other questions about how we can assist with your objectives and ideas, please feel free to contact us.

  • Step2Discovery & Technical meetings

    After inquiring about the details of your request, we will propose the plan that best allows us to meet your objectives. Of course, Geomatec engineers will collaborate with all kinds of manufacturers, as necessary, to support the creation of a product that meets your standards.

  • Step3Estimates

    We will quote based on the specifications defined in the discovery & technical meetings.
    Please rest assured that information on the intended applications of your product, personal information, or other confidential information we receive will be monitored under a strict information security system.

  • Step4Prototypes & Samples

    We will produce prototypes and samples as required.
    In addition, if you are also considering mass production at some point in the future, we can process your prototype on the same machinery that will be used for mass production, ensuring a smooth transition into the mass production stage and identical quality and features as those seen in the prototype.

  • Step5Thin-film manufacturing (procurement, coating and post process)

    We will apply thin films to substrate materials provided by customers and carry out high-quality, stable manufacturing and processing in a class 100 to 1,000 clean room (as defined in Federal Standard 209D).

  • Step6Quality inspection & Shipping preparation

    We conduct quality inspections of all the products we provide our customers and provide packing according to strict standards.
    Geomatec has acquired certification for its QMS (ISO9001: quality management system) and endeavors to provide safe and stable delivery of high-quality products.

  • Step7Delivery

    We will reliably deliver our products to any location, by any method, and on any day you specify.

    *We offer a flexible range of options other than the above, including in-house consultation on site at customers' factories.

When outsourcing of substrate material procurement and post coating process, in addition to thin-film coating
