The sense of touch is used for many actions that can be difficult to quantify.  One example is in evaluating the ripeness of fruit.  Growers of avocados and mangos typically have “squeeze experts” who squeeze fruit to sort it into varying degrees of ripeness for shipment and distribution.

Using PPS Finger Tactile Pressure Sensors (FingerTPS), this process can be standardized and potentially even automated, leading to better consistency and yield in crops.

Watch the  following video to see how the Pressure Profiles FingerTPS System can help quantify the pressures the squeeze experts are feeling.
