Interface Solutions for Farming on Land, at Sea, and in the Air
Interface force measurement solutions including load cells, torque transducers, and wireless telemetry systems are important to advancing farming across land, sea, and air. Learn about specific use cases in agriculture, aquaculture, tractor and heavy machinery tests, smart ag drone testing and robotics used in revolutionizing farming.

Hysteresis 101
Interface defines hysteresis as the algebraic difference between the load cell's output at a specific load when approached from an increasing direction versus a decreasing direction. Hysteresis represents a physical limit of the sensor's design. Hysteresis is typically expressed as a percentage of Full Scale (%FS) on a sensor's data sheet or calibration certificate. Learn more about this vital characteristic in Interface's Hysteresis 101.

Raw Signals to Intelligent Force Sensing
Interface load cells, multi-axis sensors, and data acquisition systems are providing data for integrating artificial intelligence into force measurement systems. This represents a significant leap forward in precision, responsiveness, and reliability for these data use cases. The rise in use of strain gage outputs for AI is on the rise. The quality of the sensor is critical for these applications, and this is why Interface products are valuable for advanced analytics.
