• User presence and orientation detection in
collaborative environments—In the Industry 5.0
workplace where humans and robots work side by
side, sensors ensure that machines keep people
safe. Think of a collaborative robot—a cobot—that
slows down when it detects a human nearby.
Sensors are essential for providing
ongoing feedback, evaluating the
performance of operations, and
seamlessly connecting multiple
industrial devices. Increasing
autonomy in these systems can help
address the skilled labor shortage by
relying on data-driven maintenance
and troubleshooting, resulting in more
capable and secure operations."
