When color is a critical part of the process control, it makes sense to avoid human operator detection and rely on a sensor and computing systems to perform the measurement. While the growth will be in the single digits, a recent report projects that the global color detection sensor market will reach $3.01 billion by […]
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
What’s the temperature of this thing?
Of course, there are many follow-up questions regarding where or when such as: on just the surface, in the center, on average, instantaneously, or steady state, to name a few. The standard temperature measurement technique that many people first encountered was the mercury (Hg) thermometer to determine if they had a 98.6° or higher temperature. […]
What position is this thing in?
Associated questions could include: Has it moved? In what type of motion? How close is it? While accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers provide inertial measurement units (IMUs) for position sensing in smart phones and other portable products, many other sensing technologies have been used to determine position, long before the smart phone. In industrial applications, more […]
What are ingestible sensors?
A recent report, notes that “in the medical sector, ingestible sensors are used in capsule endoscopy, patient monitoring, and controlled drug delivery applications.” Furthermore, the report projects that the ingestible sensor market is expected to grow from USD 198.2 Million in 2015 to USD 678.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 20.2% between 2016 […]
