FOLLOW THE SIGNAL CHAIN FROM ANALOG TO INTELLIGENT FORCE SENSING
In the current landscape of test and measurement, reliance on data is expanding, and integration into systems requires reliable, accurate sensor output. The goal is to feed high-fidelity data into predictive models that can learn, adapt, and respond. Based on a recent survey, 78% of Interface customers are now evaluating or using advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning, indicating the industry is moving toward a future in which the sensor is the system’s foundational intelligence.
Adoption of advanced analytics and AI requires a robust digital pipeline and a complete system. A popular pairing for use of sensor high-accuracy data is the Interface 6A Series 6-Axis Standard Capacity Load Cell and BX8-AS BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System. The 6-axis load cell captures forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and torques (Mx, My, Mz), while the BX8-AS BlueDAQ data acquisition
system logs, graphs, and outputs all six measurements in real time. Feeding the data from the BX8 into data storage for machine learning or AI use takes this system to the next level.
What is hysteresis? Referring to force measurement and load cell technologies, technically, hysteresis is the algebraic difference between the sensor’s output at a specific load when approached from an increasing (ascending) direction versus a decreasing (descending) direction. Understanding hysteresis is vital because it represents a physical limit of the sensor’s design. It is a crucial performance specification to review before selecting a load cell for your application. Hysteresis is typically expressed as a percentage of Full Scale (%FS). Get all the details inHysteresis 101. Follow our 101 Series.

In its inaugural year, InterfaceIQ Podcast released 13 episodes These quick conversations bridge the gap between complex engineering topics and real-world use cases. The top 5 pods in 2025 were:
On land, the focus is on durability and machine health. Equipment must be lighter to prevent soil compaction, yet stronger to handle increased workloads. In the air, weight and balance are everything. Interface provides sensors for unmanned air vehicles to test and monitor. At sea, aquaculture is the most demanding for force measurement hardware that can withstand subsea and underwater uses. By translating mechanical stress into actionable digital insights, they provide data for control and monitoring systems on modern farms of all types.
