Smart sensors and industrial automation

'Smart factory 'refers to the digital factory, on the basis of using the technology and equipment monitoring technology to strengthen the information management and services; Clearly grasp the production process, improve the production process control, reduce the artificial intervention on production line, real-time production data correctly, and the reasonable production plan arrangement and production schedule. Smart factory can realize technology including wireless sensor, control system and industrial wireless network.

for some product quality indicators ( For example, viscosity, hardness, surface finish, composition, color and taste, etc. ) A quick measurement and online control directly. Smart technology and fusion of sensors will can well solve the above problems.

sensor application is very wide, each component part needs sensors for monitoring industrial production, and feedback the data to the control center, so that the abnormal node timely intervention, ensure the normal order of the industrial production.

the industry is generally believed that the heart of industrial automation is a new generation of advanced intelligence, it is to keep the production line running, with low latency and real-time network, connected to high-performance programmable logic controller ( PLC） As well as the man-machine interface ( HMI） System. Of course, for manufacturers, time is money. As long as the manufacturing quality of the product can reach the regulation level, the line will keep on running as fast as possible, the importance of intelligent sensor.

at present, the intelligence as a 21st century the most influential and development prospect of high and new technology, has drawn great attention of electronic information industry at home and abroad. Optoelectronics industry development association ( OIDA所) The international market sales forecast, smart sensors will by 20% year on year high speed growth, smart sensors will be a more important role in the era of industrial automation.
