Piezo Switch Systems for Boats | Barantech at Metstrade

In this episode, Ben Taylor speaks with Quinton Pullinger of Barantech to explore how advanced piezo switch technology is reshaping control systems aboard luxury yachts and leisure craft. Quinton explains how Barantech delivers durable, fully sealed human machine interfaces engineered for harsh marine environments, and why compatibility with NMEA 2000, EmpirBus, and hybrid analog-digital systems is central to modern boatbuilding. The discussion covers customisation, integration, refit opportunities, and the rise of multi-channel control through panels, MFDs, and the Cruzo app. Essential listening for marine professionals focused on reliability, user experience, and next generation vessel design.Key PointsPiezo interfaces engineered for extreme marine conditionsSeamless integration with NMEA 2000 and hybrid systemsCustomisable control panels streamline boatbuilder workflows
