Sensors have been one of the driving factors for wearable devices, implantable devices, smart fabrics or smart pills, and improvements in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. As we move into an increasingly connected world, the use of sensors is expanding into countless applications, but some key trends in sensor development and production are changing the way we interact with the world around us. As sensor technology has evolved over the years, the following trends have emerged in today’s sensors.

Miniaturization is the first key trend. In many of these applications, multiple sensors need to be used in a compact form without compromising performance, and often with extremely low power consumption.

Second is the need for smart sensors that can not only capture sensing data, but also interpret it for decision-making in a variety of applications. As more apps play a role in the IoT space, they will need to transition to digital to succeed.

Sensor integration is inextricably linked to the development of the Internet of Things. Sensor fusion is key to creating tailor-made solutions to the specific difficulties businesses face. The necessity to record multiple forms of measurement in extremely compact packaging has resulted in multi-sensing components.

What’s next for sensor applications?

Sensor engineering is becoming increasingly important because of the need to design sensors with improved performance at reduced cost. The following markets are available for expansion:

Stress perception: Stress perception and assessment is becoming increasingly important in most fields. Wearable and medical devices, drones, home appliances, industrial applications and transportation are all possible applications. Condition monitoring for industrial and automotive equipment, as well as high-power batteries, is a major growth market for temperature and vibration sensors. Another major area is temperature sensing in healthcare wearables.

Force sensors: These are also used in aerospace, medical instruments, appliances, elevators, and high-power motors.

Location sensing: There is also growing demand for applications such as industrial equipment, automotive systems and medical equipment.

Sensors vital for gathering basic diagnostic information from industrial machinery and equipment Smart sensors offer enhanced capabilities to make set-up, maintenance and troubleshooting of machinery and equipment more efficient. The success of sensor engineering in providing customizable solutions and systems relevant to specific industry problems will determine the future of sensor engineering.
