Sensors in the electronics industry play a crucial role. The new smart sensors, including IoT and wearable, will soon revolutionize the electronics market.
Along with rapid progress in technology, applications of sensors will further expand.
What are the applications of sensor technologies?
Temperature sensing
In many applications, temperature sensors plays an important role. It is essential to maintain a minimum temperature during the manufacturing of certain products.
The key growth markets for temperature sensing are condition monitoring for industrial and machinery as well as high-power batteries that are now being used for power supply. Another important field is wearable temperature sensing for healthcare.
Sensors can be used in petrochemical, automobile, aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, medical devices, drones, home equipment, industrial applications, and transportation industries.
Pressure sensing
A pressure sensor is a device used for gas or liquid pressure measurement. A pressure sensor produces signals in response to applied pressure and usually acts as a transducer. In most countries, the need for pressure sensing rises strongly. The wearable, medical equipment, drones, domestic appliances, industrial applications and transport are the target applications.
Force sensing
The main key area is a force sensing which measures the strain and friction effects on the device and is classified as a force transducer. The main application covers in force sensing are aerospace, medical devices, vehicles, elevators and a new generation of hybrid high-power engines.
Position sensing
Position sensor is a device for mechanical position calculation. Position sensing has a broad range of applications in automation and measurement and is used in industrial equipment, automotive systems and medical devices.
