Smart 360 IOT Digital Nervous System thru Robust Sensors
Sensors
Build Digital Nervous system with various types of sensors bringing your assets to life with SMART 360 IOT we help you cooose the right sensor that fits your current and future needs.
Temperature Sensors
These sensors allow an IoT device to know the temperature of objects and function according to its model and specifications. Once installed, these sensors use different methods to determine the temperature of the given object/surface. There are several sensors for measuing heat, cold, freezing and Cryo based , The sensors don’t always have to be in physical contact, some can detect temperature from Laser and IR. ADT7320 is a typical example.
Applications: Accurate Temperature monitoring, Surface Temperature monitoring, Liquid Nitrogen , Freezers, Room Temperature, Incubators, Thermostats etc.
Proximity Sensor
Commonly used in security, safety or efficiency applications, Proximity sensors are used to detect motion. These sensors utilize electromagnetic radiation or radar to function and they can sense UV Index, 2D or 3D gesture and even heart rate. Si114x and Si1102 are typical examples of Proximity sensors used in IoT.
Applications: These sensors are mostly used in retail industry, parking and museums etc. for safety and security..
Optical Sensors
Optical sensors have been a great use in digital cameras for years. Optical Sensors can emit, receive and convert the light energy into digital signals. These sensors work by detecting electromagnetic energy and then sending the results to processing units. As digital cameras are one of the most important physical devices in IoT, Optical sensors are sure to have continued applications in the future.
Applications: Among other places, Optical Sensors are used in mining operations, oil refineries and chemical plants.
Pressure Sensors
These sensors are used to detect pressure of a liquid, gas etc. These sensors work by converting physical power into electronic signals and then sending it into the processors of the device. Pressure gauges are among the most used pressure sensors in the IoT Industry and Barometers are used for accurate weather forecasting.
Applications: Pressure sensors are used in touch screen devices, weather monitoring devices and in automotive industry.
Humidity Sensors
In many cases, knowing humidity of environment alongside Temperature is necessary for better operations and this is when sensors like HTU21D and NPA-700 come into play.
Applications: Humidity sensors are mostly used in thermostats and other weather related IoT Devices. Accelerometers, gyroscopic sensors
Accelerometers
Accelerometers can be used to detect acceleration, vibrations or tilt of any object. Gyroscopes are used to measure the angular velocity of an object. Some sensors such as ICM-20628 have the ability to detect and measure both, acceleration and angular velocity.
Applications: Accelerometers are used in pedometers, antitheft devices and levelling. Gyroscopes are used mostly in 3D mouse. Apart from these, depending on the requirements, IoT Devices can have other sensors as well. Some other examples are touch sensors and sound sensors etc.
