Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses

Image
  Sensors are input devices that provide an output (signal) concerning a particular physical quantity (input). Over the years, different types of sensors have emerged to measure and monitor various elements such as heat, humidity, pressure, etc., and they are used across various applications. This blog from Millennium Semiconductors, a leading sensors distributor in India , quickly runs you through seven different sensors. 10 Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses 1.        Pressure Sensor A pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of the gas, air, and water. It provides an electrical signal to the controller and is used in vacuum, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The various pressure sensors include Absolute Pressure Sensor, Differential Pressure Sensor, Vacuum Pressure Sensor, and Gauge Pressure Sensor. 2.        Temperature Sensor As the name suggests, a temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature a...

Popular Sensors used for Industrial Automation

Image
Technological advancements such as AI, Big Data, IoT have played a significant role in helping the manufacturing world embrace industrial automation. However, since a considerable part of industrial automation revolves around collecting, analyzing, and processing data, these technologies need to be supported by sensors that enable the actual data capture and help measure the local environment in the form of data points. Accordingly, the industrial world uses a range of sensors that capture data relating to various critical aspects of particular equipment or an assembly line. These sensors contribute to the efficiency of industrial automation to a considerable extent. Based on the data received, they help the concerned people know whether the equipment or system is running smoothly or if the data signifies the onset of a particular problem in the time to come. In this view, Millennium Semiconductors, the leading distributor of industrial IoT sensors and the top  electronic component...
