Insights Under Pressure

As the world continues to become more automated, the struggle for design engineers is to find new methods to obtain actionable data on how their product or device is performing in different environments, and what can be done to improve it. Insights Under Pressure provides inspiration for product developers to consider how capturing pressure data can create new opportunities for product differentiation and market advancement.

Getting reliable data: how to separate signal from noise when measuring pressure + temperature. Spatial mapping of pressure and temperature is a powerful tool, but only if you trust the data. Real manufacturing and test environments bring noise: mechanical vibrations, thermal drift, sensor drift...

The edges of battery cells are often where the story begins. In battery manufacturing and module integration, one of the often-overlooked aspects is the edge region of a cell, where tabs, welds, adhesives, frames, or busbars join the cell body. In many failure cases or design optimizations...

In EV battery manufacturing, the pressure that individual cells experience inside a pack tells a powerful story. Some variation is both expected and benign: cells settle, tabs flex, thermal expansion occurs. But when early mechanical failure modes begin to emerge, such as gas-induced swelling...

As the sensor landscape continues to evolve, tactile sensing is entering a new era defined by connectivity, data, and intelligent system design. In the fourth and final article in our recent series on Electronic Design, Tekscan explores how sensor connectivity and analytics will shape the next...

Tactile sensing has evolved from niche research technology to an essential layer in next-generation smart-system design in energy storage, automotive, robotics, medical devices, and industrial automation. As organizations push for smarter, safer, more connected products, tactile sensors —...

Electronic Design recently published the second article in a four-part series highlighting Tekscan’s perspective on the accelerating adoption of tactile sensing technologies—covering pressure mapping, temperature mapping, and embedded force sensing. The piece explores how evolving market needs and...

Tekscan has been at the forefront of tactile sensing since the beginning — and now, the technology is entering one of its most pivotal moments. In the first article of a new four-part series published by Electronic Design News, “ The Next Decade of Tactile Sensing: Evolution and Trajectory of...

Summary: Aalto University’s latest research on Shackleton’s Endurance has sparked global interest — revisiting one of history’s greatest maritime engineering questions. The study reinforces how understanding and measuring pressure remains central to improving ship and offshore safety — the same...

In motorsport, milliseconds matter — and so does data. For the past three years, Tekscan and channel partner CMV have proudly sponsored Formula Student racing teams, offering them access to high-resolution pressure measurement systems to validate tire models, optimize vehicle setups, and accelerate...

This post wraps up our four-part interview series with our own Pressure and Temperature Mapping expert, Evan Griffith. Our conversation was based on Evan's recent live webinar on improving battery safety and performance through pressure and temperature mapping. Throughout this series, we’ve explored...
