Key Points
• Sensors enable machines to understand their place in the
modern factory. Without them, machines cannot be smart.
• A blend of advanced technologies, from FSMs to MLCs to
ISPUs, creates sensors that provide faster responses, reduce
latency, and optimize energy use in tomorrow's factories.
• Building intelligence into sensors allows a staged
response—like the Russian nesting doll model—that
reduces latency and improves energy efficiency.
• Sensors can be combined to provide more than simple
indications. Safety, security, and reliability are all
enhanced by smart sensors.
