A sensor is a device that detects and responds to input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, force, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of a great number of other environmental phenomena. The contemporary industrial world relies heavily on sensing devices and switches.

INTRODUCTION

3. SIGNIFICANCE
Contemporary factory
automation systems
increasingly use
intelligent sensors for
the information and
data on which they
operate. Modern
sensors also offer the
ability to analyze data.

4. Big concept
The sensor technology is indispensable to a wide
range of industries, providing critical information
about variables such as pressure, temperature, flow,
gas and position, which can have a profound impact
on a number of manufacturing processes.

5. INTEGRATION
What drives the adoption
of sensor technology in the
industrial sector is the
availability of a solution
that can provide seamless
integration into existing
automation systems.
