Frugal solutions without sacrificing safety
If frugal solutions are not at the expense of safety, less can also be more. Products and technological solutions from highly developed industrialized countries such as Germany are often “over-engineered”, with many features and operating elements that are unnecessary in classic everyday use.
2024 a year with new challenges, prospects and opportunities
The new year brings an economic slowdown in some sectors. Despite all the crises, some promising new projects allow us to look to the future with confidence. 2023 was a very intense and eventful year for Hoffmann + Krippner. Looking back, however, we successfully mastered the many challenges together.
Capacitive keys tactile perception
Consistently sustainable, noticeably different and versatile: The newly developed “Tactile Key” operating concept brings a host of new features for capacitive keys. “Tactile Key” makes a significant difference to conventional solutions – which you can not only see, but also visibly feel in daily use.
Successful recertification to ISO 9001, 14001 and 13485
We have again completed this year’s ISO 9001, 14001 and 13485 certification with very good results. Both on-site and online, the auditors scrutinized our processes and found no deviations.
What to do when electronic components are not available?
Almost all companies in the electronics industry are affected: Various electronic components, from ICs to displays, are currently difficult or impossible to procure. The whole industry is struggling with material shortages. So do we.
What benefits and competitive advantages do smart HMIs offer?
In our article “How OEMs can easily digitize their products with smart HMIs”, we looked at how tap2.cloud technology makes ordinary HMIs smart, how the technology works, and what features it enables. Admittedly: Machines and systems with cloud connectivity are nothing new today. However, digitization has hardly been implemented in German SMEs yet. With the integration of tap2.cloud into your operating units, you can easily get started with digitalization.
Series production in 3D printing: Can additive manufacturing keep up with injection molding?
High-quality plastic parts in the flexible 3D printing process as a fast, cost-effective alternative to the costly but established injection molding process: So-called rapid prototyping is now used not only for prototypes, but increasingly also for the realization of medium and small series.
How OEMs can easily digitize their products with smart HMIs
Are the devices and machines you produce ready for the future? When manufacturers build machines, whether for use in the home or in industry, users today expect smart and user-friendly functions. With tap2.cloud, we offer just such a smart solution for OEMs. By integrating an NFC chip into the HMI of your machines and devices, you have the option of digital labeling and identification. In addition, many other functions and added values can be linked to the NFC chip. You decide which services you want to offer your customers.

Optical Bonding
LOCA or OCA Bonding? We rely on two proven bonding techniques for optical bonding. Liquid bonding, also called LOCA, is used to bond rigid surfaces. Sheet adhesive lamination, known as OCA, can also be used to bond flexible surfaces. Both procedures are performed under clean room conditions to prevent air and dust entrapment. LOCA (Liquid […]

Capacitive Keyboards
The user interface The fully sealed surface made of glass, Plexiglas or polyester protects the input system from dirt and liquids. Screen and digital printing can be used to design the front entirely according to the customer’s wishes. Specially machined surfaces make capacitive operating elements particularly resistant and create optimum conditions even for harsh applications. […]
Three characteristics that medical devices must meet during a pandemic
In other words, advanced medical innovations such as (1) antimicrobial surface treatments, (2) the ability to thoroughly disinfect, and (3) well-designed HMIs have never been more important in healthcare.
