INTRODUCTION

• A sensor is a device that detects and responds to
  input from the physical environment. The specific
  input could be light, force, heat, motion,
  moisture, pressure, or any one of a great number
  of other environmental phenomena. The
  contemporary industrial world relies heavily on
  sensing devices and switches.

SIGNIFICANCE

• Contemporary factory automation systems
  increasingly use intelligent sensors for the
  information and data on which they operate.
  Modern sensors also offer the ability to analyze
  data.

Big concept

• The sensor technology is indispensable to a wide
  range of industries, providing critical
  information about variables such as pressure,
  temperature, flow, gas and position, which can
  have a profound impact on a number of
  manufacturing processes.

APPLICATION

• A liquid level sensor may be applied in
  industrial sectors ranging from paper, chemical,
  energy management, petroleum to food and
  beverage. Applications in these industries may
  include the use of sensors in cooling towers,
  fermentation vessels, fuel storage containers,
  blending and solvent level monitoring vessels,
  etc.

Future challenges

• Future challenges are to achieve even better
  results, control systems must continue to improve
  their real-time responsiveness, reliability,
  accuracy, precision and overall sophistication.
  Important for meeting these challenges will be
  continued developments in networking and other
  connectivity technologies.
