| | NOVEMBER 20228Global smart sensors industry is estimated to be valued at $104.5 billion by 2027. Between 2022 and 2027, the market is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.9 percent. There are multiple factors driving the growth of the smart sensors market including its soaring demand in IoT based services, and the accelerating use of wireless technologies. That said, the increasing demand from the manufacturing industry can be attributed as one of the primary growth factors behind the smart sensor market. The high installation and maintenance costs are seen as the biggest caveats of smart sensors and the implementation cost even includes incorporating them with a network or signal processing intelligence. Still, the impact smart sensors can have on revolutionizing the manufacturing industry is undeniable. Now, let's analyze some of the most innovative smart sensors and its operations.TEMPERATURE SENSORS As the name suggests, these sensors measure the heat in order to identify the variations in temperature. With the introduction of IoT, people are now starting to explore more about how these can be used. In the manufacturing industry, temperature sensors should be an essential as there are many machines that shouldn't be allowed to overheat. Smart temperature sensors can not only help manufacturers to monitor the temperature of machines but they can even automate heating and ventilation. This will help them to maintain the ideal temperature for the machine to operate which greatly diminishes the chances of them failing and causing production halt or delays. PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORSThese sensors help machine designers to not only measure but also monitor as well as control different machine functions. Using photoelectric sensors will help them to do these actions much more quickly and precisely. These sensors are an optical device that detects both visible and invisible light beams. By becoming the eye of the machine, these sensors can control its functions through specific inputs. Because of this feature, photoelectric sensors are a great tool to optimize automation needs which can greatly improve the efficiency of manufacturing operations.
