2025 Recap of Trending Interface Articles
For our Interface Trending 2025 Year in Review Series, we are looking at the articles, case studies, and technical deep-dives that fueled curiosity among our global community.
This past year, our InterfaceIQ Blog and InterfaceIQ LinkedIn Newsletter became more than just resource hubs for test and measurement; we expanded our reach into areas of high interest, informed by product inquiries, engineering requests, industry trends, and our technical experience in solving complex challenges with advanced sensor technologies.
While fundamental knowledge remains our foundation, 2025 saw a distinct shift toward smart applications using advanced data from force measurement devices across a wide range of industries. Our readers weren’t just asking “How does this work?” They were interested in exploring connectivity, data use cases, and inventive use cases.
InterfaceIQ Trending Articles in 2025
The noted articles reflect the perfect balance of “Interface 101” fundamentals, sensor use cases, and industry-leading future-forward applications that defined our technical library this past year. We publish our articles on our website blog and on LinkedIn. Key interests were identified in some of the topics that gained the greatest attention this past year, including:
- The integrated intelligence transition from simple peak-load capture to real-time vector analysis was influential in what we wrote about and what you read in 2025. Articles focusing on wireless systems, communication protocols, IO-Link, digital signal chains, and TEDS saw a significant surge in readership as labs moved toward automated, human-error-resistant testing.
- Tactical precision led to many inquiries about use cases for automation and robots, ranging from heavy manufacturing to delicate surgical suites and collaborative workspaces. Our community’s focus shifted toward multi-axis sensors, humanoids, robotics, DAQ systems, and industrial automation. Readership spiked for content exploring how force-torque sensors provide the “tactile touch” necessary for safe human-robot interaction.
- Shifting energy in many sectors, from automotive to minerals, drew interest. For example, as the global lithium and cobalt mining market expands, our readers were highly engaged with how force measurement optimizes the entire energy lifecycle—from extending the longevity of heavy equipment in mines to structural testing of EV battery packs.
Interface offers hundreds of articles. In fact, we post a new article twice a week. The 2025 data reveal an InterfaceIQ community focused on mastering technical fundamentals to ensure absolute data integrity. The high demand for technical topics covering wiring, mounting, and sensitivity is in our 101 Series. Readers are prioritizing the elimination of foundational errors by using resources such as GUM (measurement uncertainty) and temperature compensation to achieve repeatable, world-class results in increasingly complex testing environments.
Simultaneously, interest in our 2025 new releases marks a shift toward digital and dynamic testing. Popularity in topics such as analog-to-digital converters and fatigue life indicates an audience moving beyond the sensor to manage the entire signal chain. From specialized hydrofoil tank testing to brake testing, our readers are seeking the intersection of traditional metrology and modern digital transformation to lead the future of force measurement.
