Ultrasonic Sensors: Mapping the Future

                      

Together with upcoming environmental regulations and data standardization, they form part of a series of challenges – and opportunities – for the maritime industry, ones that have the potential to make it safer, cleaner and more efficient.

Industry 4.0 is also referred to as the industrial revolution and is the popular name used to describe the drive towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, of which remote sensing is key.

That is where ultrasonic sensors come in, and their utilization has the potential to in the words of Deloitte, to “create new value across the supply chain” by “lowering production costs and providing critical insights into customer behaviour.”


In short, ultrasonic sensors are industrial devices that use sound waves above 20,000 Hertz (Hz), beyond the range of human hearing, to measure distance from a certain spot to a specified target object.

The smart sensor market, which includes ultrasonic sensors, is growing at approximately 19% every year, and could be worth as much as US $60 billion by 2022.

As well as accelerating the drive towards automation and Industry 4.0, ultrasonic sensors can also be used across manufacturing and the wider supply chain for numerous different purposes.

They work in a variety of logistics applications, including heavy industry and port operations. For shippers, they have a wide range of benefits, from navigation to fire and corrosion prevention.

Ultrasonic wind sensors, for example, can help ships comply with international regulations on weather data collection, such as wind speed, which captains can then use to navigate around storms.

This is an example of how ultrasonic sensors can be utilized across commercial shipping, be it in the container, bulk or passenger segment.

  STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors . For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors , system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue,  STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released  a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores.   1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaynom Member Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaymem Visit:http://sensors-conferences.sciencefather.com/ For Enquiries: sensors@sciencefather.com

Temperature Sensors

  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to ...

  What are Sensors, Detectors, and Transducers? Sensor/Detectors/Transducers are electrical, opto-electrical , or electronic devices composed of specialty electronics or otherwise sensitive materials , for determining if there is a presence of a particular entity or function. Many types of sensors , detectors, and transducers are available including those for detecting a physical presence such as flame , metals , leaks , levels, or gas and chemicals , among others. Some are designed to sense physical properties such as temperature, pressure, or radiation , while others can detect motion or proximity . They operate in a variety of manners depending on the application and may include electromagnetic fields, or optics, among others. Many applications over a wide range of industries use sensors, detectors, and transducers of many kinds to test, measure, and control various processes and machine functions. With the advent of the  Internet of Things (IoT) , the need for sensors...
