Sensor Types
What are the types of sensors?
There are a lot of different sensor types, all with their own applications, characteristics and construction. In the process of modern industrial production especially automation, various sensors are used to monitor and control the various parameters in the production process, like the temperature sensor, wheel speed sensor, knock sensor, pressure sensors, etc., to make devices work in a normal or optimal state then make the products to achieve the best quality.
Sensor Fundamentals
What are sensors?
In the broadest definition, a sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its environment and send the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor. A sensor is always used with other electronics.
It is a detecting device that can sense the measured information and can transform the sensed information into an electrical signal or other required forms of information output to meet the information, in order to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control.
Sensor Applications
What are the applications of sensors?
The adoption of IoT by industries has pushed the use of sensor applications to new heights. Vehicles are tracked while in motion, and their health is monitored using data generated by sensors, with corrective action taken from a central location in extreme cases. The data generated by sensors and collected in the database via the IoT application is a valuable asset to the organization, and people are thinking about monetizing it by selling it to stakeholders.
Sensors are used in a wide variety of applications which are described on Apogee. This category contains pages explaining various sensor applications.
