Unleash Simplicity with PATLITE's
Enhanced NE-USB with New Touch Sensor



Introducing PATLITE’s next evolution of workplace simplicity: the USB-powered NE-USB with a new touch sensor!

We are excited to present a cutting-edge upgrade to our already innovative NE-USB device with the addition of an electrostatic capacitive touch sensor function. This exciting new touch sensor model comes in two variations:
NE-ST-USB (stationary mounting) and NE-WT-USB (screw mount), streamlining the way you interact with the signal beacon. The NE-USB with a touch sensor can send signals, such as clear Input/finished Signal Input, to an upper-layer device by simply touching the top of the beacon, eliminating the need for a physical switch.

Upgrade your workspace today and experience a new level of efficiency and simplicity with PATLITE’s new NE-USB. With its renowned sleek and compact design, the NE-USB with touch sensor offers seamless integration with your existing systems, providing a plug-and-play solution that is both user-friendly and highly efficient thanks to its USB port. Seamlessly switch between different signal modes, adjust volume levels and customize notifications with a simple touch, all in one compact and user-friendly package.

Product Features

The two new NE-USB models with a touch sensor bring numerous advantages that improve user experience, compatibility and performance across a wide range of devices. They boast a milky lens that seamlessly blends into any environment, making them an ideal fit for modern workplaces and facilities. Moreover, both models of the NE-USB with touch sensor are equipped with seven selectable LED colors (red, green, blue, amber, cyan, purple, and white) as standard, ensuring the most compact and versatile visual signaling solution. As with all of PATLITE's compact beacons, the NE-USB also offers simultaneous use of continuous, flashing, and audible alarm conditions, while its rugged housing provides added protection for reliable performance.

Application Example



A car-manufacturing facility seeks to enhance its signaling system to facilitate quick part requests and assistance calls for its employees. With the integration of PATLITE's new NE-USB beacons featuring a touch sensor, the production line setup enables employees and upper personnel with simple yet effective communication. The easy-to-use controls and seamless connectivity enable efficient communication, streamlining operations across the facility.

When an issue arises, the personnel at the production site can activate the visual and audible alarms of the NE-USB at the manager's site with a simple touch. Instantly, the manager notices the alarms and determines the location and nature of the issue based on the illuminated color. To indicate that help is on the way, the manager can respond by touching the NE-USB to send a notification back to the production site.
