Resistive and capacitive sensors

Alper is a producer of Printed Electronics, specializing in flexible printed sensors. These sensors use a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate, known for its strength and durability. Thanks to these properties, Alper’s flexible printed sensors are used in industries such as manufacturing and home appliances, where they serve as liquid leak detectors. Placed under washing machines or dishwashers, these sensors can detect the presence of water from the very first drop with extreme sensitivity, making them powerful tools for monitoring and preventing damage caused by accidental leaks.

Additionally, Alper’s printed sensors enable the integration of IoT technology. One example of Alper’s technology in use is in smart trash bins. These bins, equipped with capacitive sensors, allow for the collection and transmission of real-time data to operational centres. This IoT integration facilitates more efficient waste management by monitoring fill levels and optimizing collection routes. These technological solutions not only improve operational efficiency but also help reduce environmental impact through more effective waste management.
