Use Case Petersime: from keyboard to touchscreen

Since our founding in 1986 in Gavere, Belgium, ClickTouch has been a pioneer in Human Machine Interfaces (HMI). Our journey began with Petersime, our very first customer, whose trust laid the foundation for a partnership spanning nearly four decades. Remarkably, we still deliver the product we developed for them back then—a true testament to the durability, reliability, and shared growth that define our collaboration. This enduring relationship highlights our deep understanding of (y)our market and unwavering commitment to staying ahead of industry trends.

Early Years: Membrane Keyboards

ClickTouch started with high-end membrane keyboards, tailored to meet Petersime’s exacting demands. These keyboards became a vital component of their machinery’s longevity—a role they continue to fulfill to this day! Designed for superior performance and reliability, these products set the standard for the enduring quality our clients can expect.

As the demand for more advanced interfaces grew, ClickTouch was always ready. From membrane keyboards to resistive and capacitive touchscreens, and now to our latest one-stop-shop solution with displays and optical bonding, we have consistently evolved alongside market needs. Through our extensive experience, we positioned ourselves as early adopters, anticipating trends and customer needs before they emerged. By the time Petersime’s end customers required more sophisticated solutions, we were already equipped with the expertise and technology to support them. This foresight allowed for seamless integration and continuous support of their innovative efforts.
