ClickTouch, formerly Velleman Switch, has been a pioneer in the world of human-machine interfaces (HMI) since 1986. Today, the family business is managed by the second generation and has developed into a leading company in our industry.
The family character and local roots of the company have been preserved, and the headquarters are still located in Gavere. But ClickTouch has also experienced significant international growth, with production facilities in Europe and Asia.
With over 35 years of experience in various sectors and several production sites, they help their customers to gain a competitive advantage with a unique product.
Our customer-focused team provides tailored support at every stage of the project, as needed, to meet your goals and priorities. Thanks to our extensive global network of skilled partners, ClickTouch can respond flexibly and efficiently to all your needs.
Focus Topics
ClickTouch focuses on the following three topics:
- Long-Term Reliability of Membrane Keyboards
- Interference Resistance & Display Expertise in Touch Solutions
- System Integrity & Integrated IT for Comprehensive HMI Solutions
1. Maximum precision under demanding conditions
Keypad-based input systems often reach their limits in industrial environments or when used outdoors. Moisture, heat, or corrosive substances frequently impair their functionality after only a short time. ClickTouch membrane keyboards are designed to meet these challenges. They offer long-lasting durability and precise actuation points, even when exposed to extreme conditions. With our patented solutions, you can ensure a long-lasting interface that boosts your productivity and minimizes unplanned maintenance.
2. Touch Interfaces and Displays – Perfectly Coordinated
Whether exposed to constant electromagnetic interference (EMI), intense heat, or harsh climatic conditions: a touchscreen interface must not fail during critical processes. Our solutions offer the necessary durability and precise functionality, even in complex industrial environments. To provide you with a complete solution from a single source, we supply the appropriate, industrial-grade display directly with the system. This ensures that the touch sensor technology and visualization unit form a technically perfectly matched system that reliably guarantees your system availability even under the most challenging conditions.
3. Rugged HMI systems and embedded integration for maximum operational reliability
The human-machine interface is crucial for the smooth operation of your plant. We offer turnkey HMI solutions in which we integrate high-performance embedded PCs directly and reliably. Our systems are precisely tailored for use under the harshest conditions—whether outdoors, in germ-sensitive areas, or in heavy industry. Through the seamless coordination of rugged housing technology, display units, and computing power, we protect your application from environmental influences and ensure maximum uptime. Rely on an integrated end-to-end solution that fully meets Swiss quality standards and industrial durability requirements.
