The bathroom and sanitary area are increasingly becoming an oasis and a place of well-being. This implies a stronger focus on the convenient operation of sanitary ware and the control of technology. Sensor systems and HMI components allow new paths to be broken. WorldWide WCE products offer solutions for a variety of bathroom applications.

SmartHome and wellness are important trends in the sanitary sector. Bathrooms are no longer designed according to the principle of “pragmatic, functional, good”, but are becoming true oases of well-being within people’s own homes. Design and comfort are paramount. These solutions can be implemented using intelligent design concepts and innovative sensor systems.

Contactless Control and Accessories

Today, even fully enclosed shower panels equipped with haptic elements can be realised using capacitive buttons as well as fully integrated, sensor-based encoders from WorldWide WCE. They provide the feel of conventional fittings, but constant moisture and caustic detergents cannot do any harm. This paves the way for completely new fitting designs and solutions.


Level Measurement in Difficult Areas

WorldWide WCE level sensors are used especially where conventional sensors reach their limits. No matter if due to particularly limited space or when handling problematic liquids such as acids, bases and adhesive media. The externally attached capacitive sensor system replaces floats or rod sensors, thus promising improved hygiene, fewer failures caused by encrustations or adhesions, and significantly longer durability compared to current common solutions. The use ranges from modern shower toilets in private homes to soap and disinfectant dispensers in hotels.


Due to the possibility of individual adaptation to the requirements of each customer, special wishes regarding the development of sensor systems that cannot be realized by conventional sensors can now be fulfilled. To give an example, a wide variety of system interfaces are realized on request. In addition, due to their particularly flat and small design, the sensors are very well suited for direct installation within small spaces. In this way, new comfort and service concepts in the sanitary area can be realized far beyond the standard.
