AUGUST, 20216 Intelligent Sensors Paving the Path to the FutureEditorialIn a world where smart devices are increasingly bridging the gap between humans and technology, 24/7 connectivity is the buzzword. With IoT set to take over the tech scene, smart sensors that capture and transmit data have a huge role to play in promoting connectivity. Amidst such developments, the sensor tech scene is undergoing rapid evolution, aiding the IoT revolution. The last few years have seen an exponential growth in the demand for intelligent sensors that provide better digital connectivity to smart products, especially those entrenched in the IoT space. Today's sensors are evolving even faster, leveraging miniaturization to pack powerful features in minimum space at affordable costs. With a host of capabilities, modern sensor devices are continually adding on more and more features, contributing to digitally advanced connected systems, and driving innovation in the tech scene. And taking the lead in digitization and multi-sensor integration is sensor fusion, directly contributing to IoT proliferation.As per recent market trends, sensors are being increasingly used in pressure, temperature, force, and position sensing, fueled by surging demands for sensor applications in medical devices, home appliances, drones, robotics, industrial equipment, vertical farming, HVAC, and more. Additionally, sensors with specific targeted applications ­ as in gas, machine vision, photoelectric, or inertial sensors ­ further have the capability to add to the upcoming digital revolution with IoT at the helms. And as industrial IoT expands its footprint, Ethernet-enabled sensors and wireless sensor networks will be seen making their mark in the tech arena. Rest assured, we'll be seeing these technologies continually get refined, promising to be more exciting in the days to come. And to make the most of these efficient, innovative technologies, organizations need an appropriate pathfinder to help them select the right sensors to aid their businesses. We hope this edition shows you the right path to find the right sensor tech solution provider to stay ahead of the competition.
