Role and scope of sensors

Why We Use Sensors? The ability of Sensors is to measure multi various data on the activities taking place within a system that throws open plenty of use cases. The data measured by sensors can be used in: Operating the system efficiently. Monitoring the operations for any abnormalities. Controlling the operations. Utilizing the resources effectively. Making design changes to improve performance further. Enhancing Future product portfolio. For example, the temperature sensor installed in a furnace measures the temperature data on a periodic interval and sends it to the controlling unit. Intelligence built into the controlling unit can switch off the furnace’s power supply if the temperature reaches above an upper limit. Types of Sensors 1. Temperature Sensor 2. Proximity Sensor 3.
