Airport Infrastructure

Interface solutions for airport passenger systems.

Check-in kiosks, gate readers, baggage drop terminals, and wayfinding systems are touched by thousands of international travelers daily. Every surface is a potential cross-contamination point. Every failure affects flight operations. The interface must survive aggressive cleaning protocols, extreme use volumes, and 24/7 operation without downtime.

Key challenge
Extreme public use volumes, aggressive cleaning chemicals, cross-contamination risk, 24/7 uptime, accessibility compliance

Key technology

Why solid-state piezo for airport infrastructure.

High-traffic durability
50 million activations. Consistent performance and appearance through the highest use volumes in any indoor public environment.
Chemical cleaning resistant
Hospital-grade disinfectants applied multiple times per shift. Solid metal surfaces are chemically inert. No degradation, no sensitivity drift.
Hygienic by construction
Smooth, sealed metal with no crevices or seams where pathogens collect. No membrane overlays trapping moisture underneath.
Premium passenger experience
Machined metal with precision graphics. Scratch-resistant printing (17-19 micron) stays crisp through years of heavy use.
Hygiene and uptime

Every surface is a contact point.

Airport kiosks are touched by thousands of international travelers daily. Each passenger interaction is a potential cross-contamination event. Airlines and airport operators face increasing pressure to demonstrate that passenger-facing surfaces are safe, cleanable, and compliant with health regulations.

Membrane keypads and capacitive touchscreens degrade under repeated cleaning, creating maintenance cycles that take kiosks out of service. Solid metal panels withstand unlimited cleaning cycles with zero functional or cosmetic degradation. The interface stays in service, stays hygienic, stays reliable.

Check-in and self-service kiosks
PIN entry, boarding pass scan, seat selection. High-frequency touch points requiring constant sanitization.
Gate and boarding controls
Gate displays, boarding scanners, crew interface panels. Must operate 24/7 with zero interface-related delays.
Baggage and logistics
Baggage drop terminals, luggage claim information. Heavy public use in high-stress environments.
Wayfinding and information
Interactive directory terminals, flight information displays with passenger controls. Accessibility compliant for international travelers.
Accessibility

Accessible for every traveler.

International airports serve passengers of all abilities. Built-in braille, raised icons, and tactile markings directly on the metal panel. 1 Newton activation force (adjustable below 0.5N) meets ADA and European Accessibility Act 2025 requirements. No expensive external tactile add-on components required.

Built-in braille and tactile
Embossed directly on the metal panel. No overlays, no add-ons.
Low activation force
1N adjustable to 0.5N. Accessible for elderly passengers and users with limited motor skills.
ADA and EAA 2025 compliant
Native compliance path for international accessibility standards.
