Engi-Tech's soft sensors (SenTex) are mainly categorized within two types: resistive and capacitive. The sensors are made of 100% woven and/or non-woven textiles and can be stitched or sewn onto the existing garments or substrates. Single layer or multiple layers of conductive and non-conductive substrates can somehow be arranged to provide the required range of sensitivity for a specific application.

Currently Engi-Tech provides technological and technical services on both textile and non-textile based sensors and their controllers and welcomes collaborators on further development of these technologies.

The following list includes the sensors that have been developed by Engi-Tech:

  • Pressure/force sensors;
  • Strain gauges;
  • Bending sensors;
  • On/Off switches (pressure sensitive or touch sensitive)
